The Black Knight is a gothic, intense and sophisticated perfume inspired by the historical character Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere (John of the Black Bands), an Italian mercenary captain of the Renaissance. The perfume tries to represent the atmosphere of a military camp, starting with the scent of wild bushes, then the smoke of the campfire and the smell of horse tracks.
How it wears
Seasons
The lavender and mandarin combination here is interesting because it wants to be both fresh and smooth at the same time. Started wearing it last month and it's become my go-to for when I need something that doesn't announce itself but still registers. Patchouli and suede in the base give it weight without being heavy. Solid performer.
