What do reviewers say about Black Onyx and Vetiver?
Black Onyx doesn't sand down its edges for mass appeal. The galbanum-lavender opening brings a green bitterness that cools the sweetness, and the oakmoss in the drydown provides the kind of classical.Black Onyx
Vetiver is one of perfumery's most misunderstood notes. Too often it plays a supporting role, the earthiness that grounds a floral or a tobacco blend. Vetiver puts the material front and center.Vetiver
