Black for Men

Black for Men opens with bright bergamot and sharp pepper that crackles against warm ginger, then deepens as black pepper and labdanum emerge—resinous, almost smoky. Incense threads through the heart, lending an austere, contemplative quality. The fragrance settles into amber and musk warmed by cedarwood, grounding the spice in something rich and faintly animalic. Xiphoid's Black maintains an angular intensity throughout, never softening into sweetness.
