Parfum · 2014 · men

NuParfums' Black Is Black arrived in 2014 as a parfum concentration, offering serious staying power in a men's fragrance built on classic aromatic-woody foundations.

The scent opens with lavender and lemon, establishing a fresh, slightly herbal character before moving into a heart of juniper and patchouli that adds complexity and earthiness. The base settles on oakmoss and balsam fir, creating a woody, mossy dry-down that anchors the composition. The overall profile is aromatic and earthy with a subtle spicy edge, leaning toward a traditional barbershop sensibility with modern structural depth.

Black Is Black works well for those seeking a versatile woody fragrance that reads as both refined and grounded. It suits everyday wear through cooler months, when its mossy-woody character feels most appropriate. If you gravitate toward The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader profiles, this will likely appeal to your sensibilities.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Juniper
Juniper
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
