The house of Nick Ricardo Collection gifted the world with Onyx in 2019. A unisex fragrance belonging to the spicy, green, and wood families. Perfumer Roger Howell is the author behind this composition. The fragrance concentration is eau de parfum.
Produced in the United States, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Onyx Nick Ricardo Collection — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Onyx is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of Nick Ricardo Collection is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Citrus, Spicy, Aromatic and Green. It also reaches into Wood and Earthy / Mossy. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Green, Spicy and Wood.
Right at the start you detect radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Ginger and Lemon.
In the middle phase you notice Basil, Spices, Violet leaf and White Pepper carrying a warm-spicy direction.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Wood with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Taken together Onyx sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
