The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Vantablac is built as a living composition, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Michael Paul Fragrances is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Gourmet, Musc, Wood and Leather with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Right at the start you meet appetizing gourmand first note: Almond. Exactly this 1 note forms enveloping sweet softness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.
In the middle phase you detect Guaiac wood, Leather accord, Oud and Suede keeping a velvety sandalwood direction. In what remains on skin the line is anchored through Cashmeran, Iso E Super, Sandalwood and Timbersilk, reinforcing a warm vetiver trail.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Gourmet, Wood, Leather and Musk.
Overall Vantablac reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
