Dark by Sapphire Studios is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Dark was launched in 2023. Top notes are Bergamot and Orange; middle notes are Orchid, Ylang-Ylang, Black Pepper and Nutmeg; base notes are Patchouli, Vetiver and Musk. The scent unfolds like a journey through the woodland—vibrant citrus notes of orange and bergamot cut through the dense air, reminiscent of sunlight piercing through the trees. As the fragrance develops, the heart notes of orchid and black pepper evoke the hidden blooms and secret paths deep within the forest."Sensual and seductive, Dark is a scent that creates an instant mood with invigorating opening notes of orange and bergamot leading to floral orchid and black pepper and base notes of musk, earthly vetiver and patchouli."
