The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Black Obsidian by Aurora Scents is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. The composition opens with bright bergamot and elemi, creating an aromatic freshness that cuts through the air like a crisp morning breeze. This is quickly enveloped by the warm, spicy notes of pink pepper and osmanthus, adding depth and complexity. As the scent settles, jasmine sambac and helvetolide introduce a soft floral touch, while patchouli and moss ground the fragrance with earthy warmth.
Apply one to two sprays on your pulse points. The citrus-aromatic opening is bright but fades within an hour, giving way to the warm spiciness and soft florals. It's best suited for daytime wear when the aromatic top notes complement a fresh start.
