Reasons to Channel Your Dark Side: 6 Subversively Chic Perfumes for Right Now

black perfumes

Blame it on Tom Ford’s glamorous obsidian fringe dresses—or, perhaps, Marchesa’s decadently beaded sartorial ode to F. Scott Fitzgerald on the recent runways—that perfume bottles and their blissfully heady scents appear to have taken on a similarly decadent mood for fall. Indeed, everyone from Van Cleef & Arpels to Maison Francis Kurkdjian has channeled the black glass vials of the twenties—now topped off with elegant gilt or argent stoppers and restructured into something decidedly modern (you won’t find any vintage atomizers here). And because when it comes to fragrance, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, let’s not forget the scents themselves: It’s time to shelve those summery perfumes (rosewater! orange blossom! grapefruit!) and spritz yourself with lush, substantial olfactory notes that conjure a seductive, Eastern aura; Van Cleef & Arpel’s spicy Ambre Impérial, for instance, or Jo Malone’s hypnotically woody Incense & Cedrat. In short, it’s perfume that would make a modern temptress proud.
