by Lorenzo Pazzaglia
Black Sea by Lorenzo Pazzaglia is a deeply immersive marine fragrance that transcends typical aquatic profiles. It unfolds like a journey into stormy, salt-laden seas—rich with ozonic, salty, and aromatic notes that feel both intoxicating and grounded. The opening evokes wet stone and sea spray, tinged with bergamot and myrtle, before yielding into a complex blend of sea notes, ambergris, and patchouli. The drydown reveals a mysterious, slightly powdery depth reminiscent of Chanel No. 5, but darker and more serious. The scent lingers long and projects strongly, especially during summer, with its sillage capable of drawing admiration and questions. It’s not a playful or casual oceanic scent; rather, it feels unapologetically refined, ideal for those who appreciate a more serious, elegant aquatic with depth and character.
