Composition
Black IV is a unisex extrait de parfum from Widian, launched in 2015 and created by Ali Aljaberi and Jean-Claude Astier. It opens with Plum, Black Currant and Bergamot, reveals a heart of White Flowers and Rose, and settles into Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood and Leather. Its character is defined by fruity, floral and sweet accords.
This is midnight in a cocktail bar that only plays vinyl. Plum and blackcurrant open dark and juicy, bergamot adding a sharp edge, and then white flowers and rose bloom — but they're night flowers, heavy and narcotic, not morning ones. It smells like lipstick and low light. Vanilla, musk, sandalwood and leather dry it down into something dark and smooth, the leather like a well-worn booth. It's seductive and it's serious, and the extrait strength means it doesn't leave the room when you do. Not a daytime scent, and not for the cautious. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
