Black Dragon

Inspiration
According to Byron, Black Dragon was born on a stormy evening while an old kung fu record was playing. LARCHITECT ties every scent to such a scene, and here it is the combination of thunder, old films and the strength of a dragon. Together with Mula Mula and The Chronic it ranks among the house's mainstays.

The Signature of Black Dragon
Honey, mango and pineapple open tropical and golden, with a sticky sweetness that sets the tone immediately. Bourbon vanilla, sandalwood and tobacco carry the heart into a warmer, darker register, where the tobacco makes the fruit somewhat drier. Amber, musk and patchouli form a powerful, long-lasting base. The contrast between sunny fruit and smoky tobacco gives the dragon its character.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Black Dragon is a powerhouse, and we mean that positively. For the first two hours the honeyed fruit dominates; then tobacco and vanilla find each other and it gains in warmth. Whoever wears it leaves a trail that colleagues still notice after lunch, so be sparing with sprays. We save it for autumn and winter evenings, a party or an evening of bar-hopping. Admirers of tropical fruit over a bold, smoky base are in the right place.
