The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Lorenzo Pazzaglia, Black Sea is a unisex fragrance that captures the essence of an expansive ocean landscape. The composition opens with salty and ozonic notes, evoking the bracing freshness of sea spray and misty breezes off the water. This marine opening leads into a heart of myrtle, bergamot, and ylang-ylang, which add layers of aromatic greenness and floral warmth. As it settles, Black Sea reveals an intriguing base of ambergris, white musk, oakmoss, and patchouli — notes that create an animalic and earthy depth, grounding the aquatic elements.

How to wear it

Apply Black Sea to pulse points and let it develop over an hour. The ozonic notes are fleeting but impactful, so layering with a touch more after they fade can help maintain that marine freshness throughout the day.
