Black Wood
by Rirana Parfume
Black Wood by Rirana Parfume delivers a rich, dark woody aroma with strong oud presence and warm spicy-amber notes. It opens with bold cardamom and oud, creating an intense yet smooth experience that evolves into a mature, balsamic-woody drydown. The fragrance strikes a balance between mysterious and sophisticated, with moderate sillage and excellent longevity—consistently lasting 12+ hours, even after bathing. It performs best in cold weather and evening wear, though it is versatile enough to be worn during the day in professional settings. The composition is well-blended, avoiding overpowering notes, with a smooth, rich texture that many users describe as luxurious and unisex. Its dark, woody character gives it a refined, gentlemanly air without being aggressive.
