Description

Pure Black is an eau de toilette for men from Mandarina Duck, created by perfumer Nathalie Lorson and launched in 2009. Some retailers list it simply as Mandarina Duck Black.

Tangerine, bergamot and pepper give a lively, slightly spicy opening. Tonka bean, tiare flower and African orange flower form a smooth, softly floral heart, and vanilla, sandalwood and Virginia cedar leave a warm, sweet woody trail.

A cosy choice for autumn and winter evenings. This is the 100ml spray.
