Black Sea

Inspiration
Black Sea portrays the sea just before the storm. A dark, deep sea whose salty, intense air fills the lungs like an omen: nature holding its breath. Then everything calms. The water becomes still, and the scent turns into a refuge of dense, mysterious tranquillity. Black Sea belongs to the Sea Collection and won the 2025 Snouf Award in the Best Marine Scent category.

The Signature of Black Sea
The tension lies in the opening: bergamot, Sardinian myrtle, salt, ozone and aquatic notes are sharp and salty, almost electric. In the heart, the mood shifts. Orange blossom and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral warmth, while black salt from Cyprus holds on to the mineral character. The base of seaweed, white musk, patchouli, oakmoss and ambergris is dark and calm, like deep water after the storm. The contrast between that restless start and the still, enveloping drydown is what makes Black Sea so recognisable.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us, the most characterful scent in the Sea Collection. Not an airy beach fragrance, but a sea scent with shadow and depth that grows calmer and softer on the skin.
