The Black Knight

The Black Knight is a gothic, intense, sophisticated perfume inspired by the historical character Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere (John of the Black Bands), an Italian condottiero (mercenary captain) of the Renaissance who belonged to the glorious Medici family.

Francesca was charmed by this character for his stoic commitment to his cause, his loyalty, and his Spartan way of life - despite his noble origins.

The perfume tries to depict the atmosphere of a military camp, starting with the smell of wild shrubs, then the smoke of camp fire and the odor of horse tacks. 

The evolution then delves deeper into the soul of this stern character, revealing the presence of a secret mistress, with a powdery rose rounding up the deep core made of vetiver.

Accords: woody (vetiver), aromatic, smoky, powdery
Mood: gothic, intense, sophisticated

Notes: artemisia, caraway, honey, bulgarian rose, narcissus, iris butter, beeswax, cederwood, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, leather.

This is an extrait de parfum, so use sparingly as the concentration is 25%. It has a great longevity (an average of 12h).
