Black Hellebore

The note presents as a deeply enigmatic, cool floral with an almost velvety texture, reminiscent of dark petals brushed against damp, loamy earth. It is not sweet, nor is it overtly green in a fresh, vibrant sense; rather, it possesses a muted, almost bruised verdancy, like foliage after a frost. Its initial impression is subtle, a quiet unfurling, then deepening into a somber, sophisticated floralcy that hints at violet leaves, wet stone, and a delicate trace of metallic ink. There's a mineralic quality to it, an elegant austerity that prevents it from becoming heavy. It has a moderate projection, closer to the skin, offering an intimate embrace rather than a grand declaration. Its longevity is commendable, settling into a long-lasting, ethereal heart that lingers with a melancholic beauty. It functions primarily as a unique heart note, anchoring more fleeting top notes and providing a complex floral bridge to the drydown.
