Real talk
Black Magic earns its name through contrast. The opening is sweet and approachable, but the drydown turns earthy and a little dangerous. If you want something that behaves predictably, look elsewhere.Black Magic
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
