Salt, seaweed and dark water before a storm

Black Sea is Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Extrait de Parfum about the sea just before a storm: cold, salty and tense at first, then still and dense. Bergamot, myrtle, salt and ozone lead, orange blossom and black salt follow, and the close is seaweed with white musk, ambergris, oakmoss and patchouli. A mood-led extrait like this deserves a trial on skin before you commit to 50 ml.

On the skin

How it unfolds

  1. Cold salt

    Bergamot and Sardinian myrtle open it, joined by salt, ozone and aquatic notes. This is the chilly, stony side of the water, not a sunny beach: clear, sharp and slightly tense, a start that suits grey light better than bright sun.

  2. Black salt and blossom

    At the heart, orange blossom and ylang-ylang give a pale floral softness against black salt of Cyprus and further marine notes. Because the salt stays audible, the flowers feel like light on dark water instead of a bouquet.

  3. Seaweed and oakmoss

    Seaweed carries the base together with white musk, ambergris, oakmoss and patchouli. The tension fades into something damp, dense and quiet, with oakmoss and patchouli giving a shaded, earthy depth to the clean musk. See whether you like it as dark as it sounds.

Testing it

How to test it, for whom and why

How to test it

Try it on grey days, coastal walks and cool evenings, when its serious, clear mood fits. As an extrait it stays close to the body, so begin with very little. Wear it on a mild day and on a cold one to learn how much salt and how much earth you get, and whether it still feels like the sea to you.

Who it is for

For people who like the sea moody: salt, seaweed and dark water rather than sun cream and beach parties. It is listed as unisex. A sample suits wearers who enjoy marine scents with weight and wear fragrance for atmosphere. If you favour sweet or fruity perfumes, expect it to seem austere.

Why try Lorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea as a sample first

Marine perfumes range from sunny and watery to deep and saline, and a name alone does not say which one you get. Black Sea is the dark, dense kind. A 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original 50 ml bottle and labelled by us, lets you check that before committing.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does it feel summery?

Not in the usual sense. The top is cold and salty while the base, with seaweed, oakmoss and ambergris, is darker, so it suits cooler days and evenings by the water.

Is Black Sea part of a series?

Yes, the house's Sea collection. The brand makes all its perfumes as Extrait de Parfum and says they are handcrafted in Italy.

What is in the vial?

10 ml of the Extrait de Parfum, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. The brand has no part in it.

The brand

About Lorenzo Pazzaglia

Lorenzo Pazzaglia grew up around his family's restaurant in the hills of the Marche, and the brand tells his story as that of a chef, a nose and a dreamer. You notice the kitchen in the perfumes: rum over vanilla pods, mango with coconut milk, red wine and cherry, salt and seaweed. The house, founded in 2021, makes Extrait de Parfum only. Formulas this dense and this literal are worth wearing as a 10 ml decant before you choose a bottle.

  • Italian artistic perfumery registered in Cagli, Marche; founded in 2021 according to the brand
  • Lorenzo Pazzaglia is the perfumer of every perfume in the range
  • Extrait de Parfum only, with a high percentage of pure oils, the brand says

      Duarte Review of the FragranceGems shop
    • Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !

      Rudy Review of the FragranceGems shop
    • Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.

      Henrik Review of the FragranceGems shop
