Loading... Please wait...If we were to say that this was one of the most amazing black licorice scents we have ever sniffed, we would be speaking the absolute truth and yet you probably wouldn’t be that impressed. You might think to yourself: “well, how many black licorice scents can there be?” So let us state this more clearly: this is a gorgeous scent and we adore it and it happens to have a fabulously authentic black licorice note at its heart. There are many other things going on, of course – a cool green mint, a soft cozy blend of cocoa, vanilla and musk, a twist of patchouli – and the overall effect is balanced and soft and sexy. But still, the true essence of this fragrance is licorice - the most mysterious of all candies, the star of the controversial black jelly beans, the secret of the slippery kiss of Sambuca. Sweet , but not sugary; dark, but not brooding. Craving-inducing.
Notes:
white pepper, ozone, mint, shiso leaf, star anise, ginger, licorice, cocoa, patchouli, vanilla, vetiver, musk
RIYL:

I asked for this for Christmas even though I'd never smelled it. My hubby got it for me and the only thing that would have made it better was if he had gotten the big bottle of it. It's the best licorice scent ever. It's not too sweet. It's different from anything else I own. It's warm and wonderful.

I bought this after reading some reviews and I was so delighted when it arrived. I get compliments all the time as it is so unusual and yet it has a pleasent memory type of smell. Childhood licorice, fields, not sure but it is a terrific combination. Have another bottle coming in the mail.Love this

Reglisse Noire is a delight - I wasn't even sure if I liked licorice in perfume especially but this won me over. Elegant, rich, not too sweet. Amazing stuff.

This is really an amazing smell. Very licorice but not "strong", exactly, at least not on me. At first it is sort of clean ozone-y misty cool smelling, later a little warmer but still with an undertone of water smell, never sharp smelling, though spicy in a great way from the licorice. It doesn't shout, smells muted when I put nose to wrist but the smell does hang around and is smellable all day, there is some sillage, little drifts of scent.
It's really beautiful without being noticeably flowery or citrusy or spicy or musky, really in a class by itself.

What a SURPRISE this one was--purchased unsniffed,and NO regrets! I wish all new perfumers,were as thoughtful,and put such effort into everything this one has. I was a little unsure,if the licorice note,would be too sweet,cloying or odd..but there is SO much more going on here.There is a gorgeous cedarwood, and other natural essences,that REALLY make this a real sleeper of a perfume! I am so happy to be able to review such a beautiful fragrance! Looking forward to the next creation, from this line:)
