The Story

A Fragrance Born from Elegance

There's a moment at every black-tie event when someone walks in and the room takes notice. Not because they're loud. Because they're perfect. The fit. The confidence. The presence. That's what a tuxedo does—it makes elegance look effortless.\n\nObsidian is that moment in a bottle. The opening is crisp lily and bergamot—clean, luminous, like fresh linen pressed to perfection. Then comes the depth: amberwood and tonka bean, warm and magnetic. This is sophistication that doesn't shout. It seduces. Quietly. Deliberately. Like the best tuxedo you'll ever wear.\n\nThis is the scent of the man who knows that formal doesn't mean stiff. That elegance isn't about following rules—it's about owning them. Who understands that the most powerful presence is the one that makes everyone else feel underdressed.\n\nObsidian is for galas and private lounges. For wedding receptions and midnight toasts. For the man who wears black-tie like a second skin. Seductive without being sleazy. Refined without being boring.\n\nWear Obsidian when you want to be unforgettable. When you want your presence to linger long after the champagne runs dry.

Performance

Longevity

10-12 hours

Opens with a brilliant lily-bergamot accord that lasts 2-3 hours, transitioning smoothly into the warm amberwood heart. The tonka bean and vanilla base emerge around hour 4 and persist for 10-12 hours, creating a sophisticated skin scent that develops beautifully throughout the evening.

Sillage & Projection

Moderate to Strong

Refined sillage that creates an elegant aura in formal settings. Projects moderately for the first 4-6 hours—noticeable in close proximity without overwhelming. Perfect for intimate gatherings and upscale venues where sophistication is key.

Versatility

This is a formal evening fragrance designed for special occasions. While technically wearable year-round, it truly shines in cooler weather at night. The lily-amberwood combination creates black-tie sophistication that's equally suited for weddings, galas, and romantic dinners. Not for casual wear—this demands elegance.

How to Wear

Application

2-3 sprays for formal occasions. Target the neck and one wrist—this fragrance is potent and designed for close-proximity elegance. One spray on the chest creates an intimate scent bubble perfect for dates. For weddings and galas, consider one spray on your jacket lapel for lasting sophistication.

Layering

Best worn alone to appreciate its refined composition. If layering, use only with unscented or lightly woody grooming products. Avoid anything citrus-heavy or sweet—this fragrance is a complete formal statement.

Storage

Store in original box away from light and heat. The lily and vanilla notes benefit from stable temperatures. Keep in a cool, dark place to maintain the fresh-woody balance. Properly stored, this fragrance matures beautifully.
