Lampblack

The sudden, eerily calm darkness before a ferocious storm. The hushed, electric silence when the lights cut out and the curtain has yet to rise. The colors and shapes that dance in front of our eyes when we wake in the middle of the night and try to focus in the pitch darkness. This is what Bruno Fazzolari has captured in Lampblack, last year's much-buzzed-over cult sensation. Inspired by the smell of India ink, this triumphantly exciting fragrance is transparent and earthy and colorful and wholly unique, and we couldn't be more thrilled to offer it to you.

Lampblack opens with a bracing citrus note, sweet orange coming up against bitter grapefruit, with a nose-tingling, borderline metallic black pepper asserting itself and establishing an off-kilter modernism to the whole affair. As the inky cypriol and earthy vetiver take over, the air continues to crackle with anticipatory energy, revealing the hidden depths of the darkness that still envelops the fragrance. Dark yet colorful, simple yet intricate, Lampblack embraces its contradictions for a modern, boldly creative scent that isn't just noticeably unique, but also uniquely easy to wear.
