Black edition

Black Edition is a Parisian brand launched in the late 2010s: 50 ml eaux de parfum in a matte black bottle, without decoration, with the name of the juice as its only signature. Ten references, half of which lean towards the warm oriental — amber, musk, vanilla — and the other half towards fruity florals.

The ten references by family

• Woody and amber: Bois, Gris, Heritage and Velvet Dune. The most diffusive of the range, for evenings and the cold season.
• Gourmand and floral: Rouge, Rose Vany, Nabyla, Good and Girl. Vanilla, rose, red fruits — easier to wear by day.
• Satin sits between the two: a powdery musky unisex, the most discreet of the lot.

The 50 ml format, and what it implies

Fifty millilitres is a bottle that gets finished: at three sprays a day, it lasts about six months. These eaux de parfum are less concentrated than Gulf extraits; count half a day on the skin, more on a garment. If you are after a longer hold, spray on the collar or scarf rather than the wrists.

A French brand

Black Edition is a French brand, formulated and packaged in France — not a perfume made in the Emirates. The ten references are sold by IBN AL QAYYIM, authorised retailer, and shipped from Nîmes; shipping within the EU is free from €49. Compare the bottles above to place each juice in its family.
