Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Yohji Yamamoto Darkness combines mixed accords, creating a multifaceted composition: carrot seeds add a spicy sharpness and earthy tone, cypress brings a fresh woody accent with coniferous notes, and juniper berries enrich the fragrance with fruity freshness and a slight astringency.

Labdanum provides balsamic warmth and resinous depth, while patchouli and sandalwood create a stable woody base with velvety and creamy shades, making the fragrance long-lasting and captivating.

This combination reflects the aromatic and woody families, offering a journey from a bright and spicy start to a cozy and deep finish, which perfectly matches the name Darkness and the brand's aesthetic.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Again, this scent, which is clearly masculine, and the pyramid confirms it. Juniper just stands out here. It reminds me of smells from Crimea, where these juniper forests grow, which, by the way, are good for the lungs. The patchouli here is so heavy and earthy. I don't see this scent on a woman at all, unless it's on someone who likes an androgynous style or strict suits 😒
4/5

The name doesn't get my approval. The fragrance, on the contrary, is truly bright, luminous, and rich. You can feel cold resins, spicy berries, and even hints of pine needles in it. It's such a masculine and fresh scent 🌲
4/5

How sad this is. Memories of dark wood, so damp and bitter, evoke melancholy. The juniper here sounds noble, so natural, it just makes your heart ache. And these light powdery accents. They leave a bitter aftertaste. It hooked me, but somehow too strongly, as if something is gone forever
5/5

This perfume can be described as serious and confident, exactly what its owner should be. It creates an atmosphere suitable for business meetings and focused work. I really took a liking to it
4/5

This fragrance is probably the most powerful in the entire collection. From the first notes, it's like it attacks, you immediately feel the aggression. But gradually, as it develops, it becomes softer. Honestly, I liked it more than the others, because you can perceive it calmly. The combination of juniper and patchouli is really pleasing, but the carrot seeds give it some strange aftertaste. Overall, it's tolerable, but there's still a bitterness left
