A closer look at Mark Buxton Black Angel EDP
Mark Buxton is the house behind Black Angel EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Les Indemodables Musc Des Sables unisex is a lighter match.
Its style
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by warm spicy and citrus. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and warm spicy smells and notes like orris and styrax. Less obvious notes include amber. Perfume fans rate it 4.02 out of 5.
What Black Angel costs
In Europe it costs about €201, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Etat Libre D' Orange Etat Libre d'Orange Rien and Gisada Ambassador Intense.
Other Mark Buxton perfumes
This house has 20 perfumes on iPerfume. The most popular ones are Dreaming With Ghosts, Emotional Drop unisex and Devil In Disguise.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Tom Ford Black Orchid and Etat Libre D' Orange Etat Libre d'Orange Rien last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like styrax and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Will people notice Black Angel?
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Tom Ford Black Orchid and Etat Libre D' Orange Etat Libre d'Orange Rien spread further.
