Black Truffle Oud — the dark side of Wicked Good
Black Truffle Oud is a unisex fragrance by Wicked Good, created for those who love expressive compositions with character.
This eau de parfum is part of the Dark Side collection, combining luxurious rose, earthy truffle, mossy nuances and the rich woody sound of oud.
Black Truffle Oud reflects the signature boldness of the American perfume house: Wicked Good turns to unusual imagery and transforms familiar motifs from nature and gastronomy into fully realized olfactory stories.
Here, the familiar truffle is revealed not as a culinary detail, but as a deep, damp and slightly mysterious accord that gives the fragrance its distinctive density.
Fragrance pyramid and development
The composition opens with rose. Its floral character creates a softer, more elegant introduction, after which the fragrance gradually becomes darker and richer.
Truffle emerges at the heart, adding a velvety earthiness and an unusual gourmand nuance.
Oakmoss, oud and patchouli come together in the base, forming a deep woody-mossy trail with an oriental mood and notable longevity.
Character and wearability
Black Truffle Oud belongs to the chypre and oriental fragrance families, so its character cannot be described as light or neutral.
It is a composed, dark and confident fragrance with a very powerful sillage, balancing the floral softness of rose with earthy, resinous-woody and mossy nuances.
The fragrance will suit women and men who prefer noticeable perfume accents and unconventional combinations.
It is especially appropriate for evenings, cool weather and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality rather than disappear into familiar freshness or sweetness.
The precise dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information; however, given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to begin with a small number of sprays.
This way, Black Truffle Oud will retain its expressiveness without overwhelming the space around the wearer.
The perfumer and its place in the collection
The fragrance was created by Cheri Tracy.
Her work is built on contrast: rose opens the fragrance with a familiar floral facet, while truffle, oakmoss, patchouli and oud gradually shift its character into a more mysterious and intense dimension.
Information about the launch year and other concentrations of Black Truffle Oud is not available.
Its fragrance profile, however, clearly reveals its role in Dark Side: it is one of those releases that showcase the brand’s bold, experimental side and are aimed at enthusiasts of expressive perfumery.
