Black Max

Black Max opens with a salty spray of sea air cut through by bright bergamot and citrus—mandarin and lemon dancing across the skin. As the top settles, lavender emerges with cardamom's warm spice, grounded by black pepper and a whisper of rosemary that smells almost herbal, almost green. The heart lingers longest, that peppery floral turning gradually drier as labdanum's amber-resin warmth rises from below, meeting cedar's cool woodiness until only a faint resinous shadow and dry wood remain on skin.
