Zenith Noire

Nose Note #835 I was expecting a lot from this. I've already heard it smelled a bit like Kohl, and it does. But I have to say, I like Kohl more. It has similar smokey hot wood quality, but with amber and subtle sweetness. It's a more crowd-pleasing Kohl I suppose. It's the third time I'm having a go at it and I found it hard to start writing about it. It feels like a very quiet scent unfortunately, at least as of now. I'd also say it smells like a mix between Kohl and Arabian Incense Artisan Perfumery (both are from Fragrance World). Zenith Noire also has this greenesss of cypress about it, just like Arabian Incense does. I gave it a "like" at first, but this definately deserves "love". I really missed Arabian Incense went it ran out. Zenith Noire feels 100% masculine and it also feels like a watered down version of something from Amouage. 8.8/10, I have a hunch that the more I'll wear it, the more I'll love it

inexpensive, beautiful, true incense. amazing for layering, and on its own. the moment i get this one, i'm wearing it everywhere, and carrying a decant or two around in my cigarette box<3 i'm surprised there's no ink note listed. something like that is definitely here. inky incense, black and angelic. a real comfort scent to me. i will update with a scenario to match to, but it's just ink and incense as the profile. (the decant thing is because i have too many empty mini bottles lying around so i do this with every perfume i love wearing)

Boy, this is awesome. Inky incense, amber and vetiver. Deep, rich scent but the sweetness of the amber mixed with the incense keep it from being too dour and dark. I don't really find it similar to Encre Noire or Encre Noire A L'extreme. I mean, maybe the sweeter, more incensey, and much less vetiver heavy distant cousin of the extreme? Or like, they're unrelated buddies with a vaguely similar haircut and sense of style? I picked it up for 25 bones or worms or what-have-you, and it's a genuine cheapie steal at that price.

this is a great budget version of black meisterstuck. It has that same beautiful inky incense vibe, dark, mysterious and masculine, with a retro formal feeling. I love this one because I already loved the original, and this captures a lot of that atmosphere really well 9/10

I am new into perfumes and decided to blind buy this , I tried a decent amount of perfumes in the store ( niche and designer ) and I belive this is one of the best choices , I might just be gaslighting myself , since it is going to be my signiture scent for the time being (until its empty ) . Alright let's get into the smell . Strong incense smell very intresting and out there in the opening but in the dry down that kinda fades into the sweetness of amber with a very earthy vibe (from the vetiver ) I really like it ,I think its blind buy safe , where I am from and the acess I had to perfumes this is really unique and pleasant .
