First released in 2019, baldessarini black is a crisp and charismatic woody oriental cologne that layers fresh spice and aromatic herbs over leather and labdanum. The scent opens with a boldly herbaceous effusion of crushed basil leaf and ice, harmonized with woody hints of pink pepper. Heart notes are earthy-sweet and peppery, merging geranium leaf and fresh patchouli with warm myrrh.
