Lorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea Extrait

Description

Black Sea Extrait de Parfum, released in 2019, is Lorenzo Pazzaglia's ode to the moment a Mediterranean sky turns and the sea answers back, the small thrill of watching a squall roll in from the shore. The Italian house, built by self-taught perfumer Lorenzo Pazzaglia on the Adriatic coast, is known for turning weather and memory into scent, and here that shows in a bright, briny opening of bergamot and Sardinian myrtle over salt and ozone, settling into orange blossom and ylang-ylang before a mossy, ambered drydown of algae, patchouli, and ambergris. It's less "beach vacation" and more "storm-watching from the rocks": confident, a little wild, unmistakably unisex.

Scent Character

• Marine: 43%
• Floral: 16%
• Fresh: 15%
• Woody: 10%
• Sweet: 10%
• Amber-Moss: 6%

Translation: this reads first as salt air and ozone, softens into a light floral heart, and settles into a warm, mossy amber base, more storm-swept coastline than sweet summer beach.

Fragrance Pyramid

Top: Bergamot, Sardinian Myrtle, Salt, Ozonic Notes, Watery Notes

Heart: Orange Blossom, Cyprus Black Salt, Ylang-Ylang, Sea Notes

Base: Algae, White Musk, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Ambergris

Performance

Longevity: Strong for a marine composition. Expect 6-8+ hours on skin, helped by the ambergris and patchouli base anchoring the brighter salt-and-ozone opening.

Sillage: Moderate to strong. It projects clearly for the first couple of hours, then settles closer to the skin as the ambery base takes over.

Projection: Noticeable without being overwhelming, appropriate for both close encounters and a room-filling entrance.

Best Occasions & Season

Built for spring and summer, and for leisure: coastal walks, daytime events, anywhere you'd want the smell of sea air without the sea. Its structure is easygoing enough for everyday wear too.
