Collection: Traditional

The Dark One 

Fragrance family: Oud, wood

Key notes: Oud, oceanic elements

Dark, fresh and seductive. Afterdark opens with cool oceanic notes and a mineral rush of sea air, before deepening into the smoky richness of oud. Black vanilla emerges underneath — smooth, warm and slightly addictive — softening the darker woods without making the fragrance sweet. Clean yet sensual, it captures the feeling of open water after dark: salt on skin, black horizons and warm air moving in off the sea.

Notes

Top: Oceanic notes, sea minerals
Heart: Oud, dark woods
Base: Black vanilla, soft musk

Vibe

Fresh, dark and confident. Think: expensive hotels by the sea, salt on warm skin, late-night drives and the horizon disappearing into darkness.

If you like: Tom Ford Oud Wood, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo/Parfum, Dolce & Gabbana The One or Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day, you’ll love Afterdark.

Moderate longevity with a fresh, oceanic opening, developing into a darker, smoother trail of oud, woods and black vanilla close to the skin.
