In Black Jesus Del Pozo for women

Revision.There r no chocolate notes in this,,its the licorice,vanilla together that makes it have that scent.

A dear friend of mine (JILLZILLA) gave me a whole 3.4 oz bottle of this.Trouble was,,,the sprayer was missing. After trying several other spray nozzels and having NO luck,I set it aside in my fume cabinet. That was nearly 4 years ago! All these years,Ive been looking for a sweet,floral,fruity,rosey,patchoulli laden,vanilla ,chocolate scent. I went after it with a vengeance! Bottle after bottle I searched. Too little this,too much that.

Why oh why I asked,cant I find a fume like that? And,while we are at it, I want one that projects like a church steeple and last from morning to morning!!!After growing tired of ALL my quests,I spied the black bottle with the flying saucer top! AH ha! I AM going to find out what this fume smells like!!~!

My husband and I tried nearly EVERY sprayer off 130 something bottles of fumes. NO matter it might contaminate them ,I was going somehow to get to this juice. We tried prying the sprayer housing off. NO. I thought about breaking the bottle,NO. Finally,I took an ice pick and stuck a hole down thru the middle of the housing itself. I gently turned the bottle over,,,Out came a stream of the best smelling juice I have ever smelled!!

I quickly grabbed some decant bottles and my fume funnel. I got out every last drop!! 3 decants full! Here was The HOLY GRAIL of fumes for me!!!I love It. Just the yummy enough sweet,fruity scent. A good amm ount of chocolate and vanilla with a rosy,african violet,patchoulli base!!! I am in heaven!!!

I immediately ordered 2 3.4 oz bottles from AMAZON for only 19.95 each!!!! I really wonder if I shouldn't buy every bottle there is,in case they stop making it.IT IS ME!!! I guess this fume quest was a lot like life. You go out seeking ur hearts desire and when u r finished,there it was all along,waiting on u to do the work to get it. THanks Jillzilla!!!

I love this stuff. Adding Guerlain la petite robe noire to similar bottles.

Be careful with this fragrance. It's strong and has a "dark" character. It's full with kind of cherry rum / liquor , some spicy and vanilla notes. Sorry, I Didn't notice much chocolate,,,I saw someone mentioned in reviews about it's similarity to Lolita Lempicka's Midnight perfumes, but I have to say that there's not so much in-common. They're totally different. Lolita Lempicka it's another story. The only notes that reminds little bit of it is a licorice wood and maybe vanilla in background notes. "In Black" is very sweet and seductive indeed, great for cold season's and especially I like to use it during rainy day's.... quite calming mixture. Don't spray too much otherwise your neighbors or co-workers will have to evacuate! :)

Buy a good milk chocolate liquor and cherry liquor, open them and let it stay opened for two months in the warm kitchen. Then prepare sugared milk ice cream and pour first the long opened cherry liquor and after 30 minutes the chocolate liquor. Decorate with some patchouli leaves. Voila!

Licorice? No. As I have bought some pure licorice dried root for making tee in the local pharmacy to get my low blood pressure higher (I am tall and slim and when I stand up quickly, I feel dizzy). This licorice dried root in the paper bag smells totally different than YDP.

Smells as advertised- see other reviews- but very close to zero lasting power, cannot smell a thing after 45 minutes, thus a complete waste of money. DISGUSTED.

Quite assertive scent. Dark, powdery, juicy. Lots of sour cherry, licorice, lilac and musk. There's a smokiness I get from this that makes it more evening for me. It's not a casual scent. Heavy sillage so I would not recommend for work or school at all. Lasts about 6 hrs on skin for me, 4 days later there's still a subtle scent on clothing.

To me, this fragrance resembles a modernized Habanita de Molinard. You've got the dark powdery rose that lingers long after the sharp cherry liqueur fades (which is rather fast on my skin). Eventually the peach and lilac start to emerge, but it still retains a powdery trail. This scent is sexy- but not an over the top fruity floral mix with musk that is common now. This is like incense. Pleasantly thick and ripe, and the scent just swells throughout the day, which is when the musk and vanilla start to creep out. This scent can be worn by most age groups- but it doesn't convey youth. It conveys the type of glamor reminiscent of silver screen sirens, while still staying away from "old lady" territory (a very difficult balance). It takes a ballsy chick to wear this, especially in the day, but that's why it's so special.

In black smells like make up and vanilla to me. And it's good. Sexy and fits good in the night.
Moderate longevity or medium. 3 stars. The bottle design is very nice, i think sculpts a black moon droping nocturn sexy air.

Have black and white bottle thanks to my bestfriend from highschool who manages a perfume shop that had a promo plus a coupon which made one bottle free. This is a true oriental in my skin.Black was the scent I was looking for. I tried must by Cartier and Bella deOPium and they are wonderful but lacking that unique spice,fruit,woody patchouli smell that has an incense theme about it. Plus I wore the Bella de Opium and that vanished on me while Black Jesus de Pozo had many different changes within the hours. The heart notes are wonderful and it downdry to a beautiful spice woods light powder scent with a spicy fruit. Love this because the powder does not smell strong, and like most fragrances that smell like powder, I avoid. It an oriental and it unqique in the sense that i feel elegant when I wear it...So far do love it to have it in my collection. It does last long and for the price it good solid fragrance. Oh I have the EDT and last well on skin.

If I would have to describe this fragrance by one word, I would say 'multifaceted'.
The first time I smelled 'In Black', I was shocked by the intensity and dominance of licorice and cherry. It also had something masculine. But when the scent dried down, I had the feeling that I was encased by a soft and warm cloud, which carried me away from reality.
I would definitely recommend 'In Black' to those, who like to be indivual and to be perceived by others.

Our first encounter took place three weeks ago…

It was a cold raining night. This mysterious lady In Black accompanied me to my place.

Closing the door, dropping my things on the floor, I practically stripped her cloths off with very much excitement. Her lips tasted like cherry, our first kiss was bitter sweet which I think oh so hot. And while I was getting to know her better… her body whispered a creamy musky-chocolate.

Hours after hours later, she's still melting, projecting those compellingly dark, sweet and delicious scents on me. The experience I’ve never known before.

One other thing about this lady In Black, she’s strong and could stay with you until dawn ;)

smells like dark cherry licorice and kind of chocalatey...not for everyday use but for when youre feeling sexy and want to stand out this one is perfect. plus the price is right very affordable.

This starts out very similar to Black Orchid (which I find very cloying and impossible) + a pleasant cherry note. 5 minutes into the application, as if that opening never happened, it turns into a yummy creamy cocoa butter scent with a hint of soap and flowers, I like it, its delicious and delicate, but its very unexpected and unfortunately a bit weak.

Totally puzzled!!! I'm still on the fence with this one. On me, this was a difficult start. Very harsh on my skin and not attractive but once it started to relax it mellowed and became much prettier. I can't imagine I would reach for this bottle often. Cartier Delices is my favorite scent for fall and winter so I am hoping this grows on me so I have another option. To be fair I tried this in June in Nashville, TN where it is hot hot hot and muggy. I think I will try again when the weather starts to turn!!!

Dark, intensive and juicy fruity floral fragrance.

The most noticeable note in the fragrance is the black cherry note, which makes it more mysterious. The black lily, violet, licorice wood and patchouli notes make the leading note more deep. And the vanilla note sweetness makes this fragrance more lively.

I like this fragrance, when it opens not too intensive to be annoying, because it seems to me seductive.

This perfume is not what I had expected. I bought this at a very low price, and the box it came in was sleek and very expensive-looking, wrapped in a white ribbon. I bought the bottle with the "old-fashioned" atomizer.

All the notes are fighting each other for attention in this. Like Olga said, everything is muddled. I am having a difficult time picking out any notes. This perfume is a tad fruity, but it's not as sweet fruity as I would have liked.

This fragrance smells like it would be fitting for a woman who "ages like fine wine". But at this moment in time, it does not fit me.

If I could describe the color of this perfume it would be deep red, not black. Opens up like cherry wine on my skin. In time it turns into an exquisitely dark berry-laden fragrance anchored by vanilla and licorice while the lilacs and violets twirl around on my skin like purple fairies. This is a very mysterious and sexy scent. On the right skin, it will sing like the perfect gothic song. Full bottle worthy for me.

Starts strongly licorice. Opens to an elfin beauty. If it were a rose it would be Crepuscule, the evening twilight. Quite bewitching. Michael Edwards suggests you will like Coco Mademoiselle if you like this. My daughter wears Coco Mdmslle so I have never tried it on my fifty something Irish skin, but if my memory serves me there is a similarity. I offer it as a guide.
The cherry is carnal. I love it. Not for the faint hearted.

I LOVE THIS SCENT!!!

When I first tried this on my skin a while ago, I wanted to cut my arm off... I absolutely HATED it and washed it off straight away. I went back to it later as I smelt this on a client of mine who told me she hated it at first too, but that I should wait for the dry down..... So I did, and WOW, I cannot get enough of this amazing, exotic, wonderfully sexy scent!!

My new favourite... For now. ;-P

This is UNIQUE!!! It´s the exactly opposite from the other Jesus del Pozo perfum: In White. This perfume is warm, is like a nice cup of hot milk with caramel and a blanket in the middle of the winter. It´s sweet but in a "mature" way, nothing like those fruty new fragrances that smell all the same. This is deep and mysterious. It makes me feel important when i wear it. Not for young or informal woman

Essentially smells like sweet licorice, with a strong vanilla background adorable.
Despite having vanilla, not it is an extremely sweet fragrance as many parfums gourmands. The vanilla end looks a little dry, it does intense but not heavy.
This fragrance specially for autumn and winter.
The format of luxury is wonderful.
Black and silver, shiny, ¡have a very elegant knob!

yess! I was trying to think of what it reminds me,,know! I know!,,,escada sentiment

Just got this today...not what I expected, it is an ok perfume...to mi skin it smells something in between white diamonds and poison...can not get any dark notes of the perfume rather than a sweet candy already evaporated...could use it for a daily normal day perfume

I get an interesting, kind of smoky cantalope. I also get a very crisp--almost but not quite cucumber. Then the licorice develops, not overwhelming just adding to the depth of this fragrance. It's intriguing, i don't think i've ever smelled sweet crisp darkness before. it's not the love of my life, but it's a definite summer fling :)

@sheridanellis:

Having owned both, I would have to say "no" this one is not like Midnight Fantasy, due to the very present licorice note in In Black. Midnight Fantasy felt more like cherry-plum-orchid-musk and In Black felt more like cherry-violet-licorice-patchouli to me.

I LOVE THIS!!!!! Some people say it smells a hint masculine but not to me at all. I smell woody, soft spicy, powdery, a hint sweet, a hint fruity. Very sexy & feminine. It smells like something you would pay a lot of money for. Luxurious, sophisticated, sexy, feminine. I purchased a 50ml EDT bottle from O.co & it lasts all day, over 10hrs. I washed my arms after I gave my puppies a bath & I can still smell this fragrance on me! Great lasting & projection power!

JDP in Black is bold, dark, and daring... while still remaining remarkably feminine. I applied yesterday afternoon, and was still smelling it this morning on my skin, clothing, and even the sheets! Excellent projection, but doesn't choke. It feels a little heavy, but to me, that's not a bad thing ~ great in cool weather/climates.

Opening of the cherry-liqueur with a hint of dry, sweet cocoa,ending vanilla and sandalwood [I can't smell the the promised cedar tree only the sandalwood]. Nice, pretty, a little overwhelming at first, but I can not complain about the whole - very fine, solid composition - after the dissapointings of Halloween, I felt pleasantly surprised.

Smell easily remains at me 8 hours, which is also a significant advantage

This is not the The fragrance of my life, so I rather won't come back to it but it was worth taking a closer look .

summer night,indeed.peaceful,warm,without worry in the world...i'm getting pine smell warmed by the sun from somewhere far,far away...

Sexy. Cherry, patchouli, dark chocolate, rose, vanilla, pepper. I love this one. Great for an evening out when you're all dressed up in your favourite style and feeling fabulous. It makes me glad that I'm a woman.

I had high expectations of Black but all I get is a fruity, powdery and utterly boring fragrance,nothing to write home about and not worth the price. Try before buy is my advice.

well well, I have In Black for about half a year already, but I didn't dare to put it on me for more than a few times. I do not think I'm a big lover of J. d. P. perfumes - they appear to me sweet and strange, they make me feel tasteless and some kind of "heavy" old aunt.

Este perfume es diferente, a mi me gusta bastante, no es el tipico floral frutal,de hecho yo no lo pondria en esa categoria,el primer spray es como una borrachera, pero despues de unos minutos se hace mas dulce, nunca empalagoso.Al pèrfume hay que darle un tiempo de asiento, y mas tarde sorprende.Yo no soy fan de Jesus del Pozo, pero este perfume me ha sorpredido porque es diferente.En las demas review hablan del parentesco con Delice, a mi sinceramente no se me parecen en nada,Delice es super dulce y empalagoso, hasta dar dolor de cabeza y este no.
Creo que le pueden dar una oportunidad a In Black.
El sillage es medio y el poder duradero es bueno en mi piel.

For me they are disgusting,too sweet and cheap, like old cherry jam. Not comparable with Cartier-Delices.

Very warm fragrance with elements of mysticism.
Associated with a glass of old, good strong dry wine, served in a heated and charred oak cup. It is viscous, enveloping a cherry flavor, interwoven with the smoke and the smell of smoldering wood creates a wonderful, very intimate and sexy fragrance.
Full power, affecting all his strings and using the most complex organ chords of his music shows in the winter and cool in autumn.
Patchouli in it is gorgeous!

One of my favorites! Perfect for a night out. Really, its perfect for daytime wear also. This changes so dramatically within the first five minutes from very sweet to something soft and beautiful. I love the way it smells when I spritz some in my hair. Sometimes I can still smell it the next morning when I move my head just the right way :)

Very unimpressed with this composition. The notes are kind of muddled with very low sillage and a very mediocre overall effect. I have Delices EDP and they have very little if anything at all in common. Delices is very elegant bright red cherry and vanilla mixture, radiating sillage and with a lot of transparency, while In Black is very unnatural smelling sitting oppresively on the skin.
I do get some cherry and licorice, but I would rather stick with my G Gigli which is a fantastic cherry fragrance, and for licorice i would reach for Caron eau de Reglisse.
I am glad I have an oportunity to return it....very disappointed, because I really like Halloween.

I love to wear it now... in the summertime, during day and night. This cherry-dark-chocolate-smooth-patchouli-rose- smell ( I know there is no chocolate listed... but I can smell it! A little bit like "Mon Chéri". ;-))... mmmh... it´s so special, for me...!;-) It´s such a pity, that Jesús del Pozo died this month... rest in peace! <3 LOVE from LOUVE

Sweet, dark, and mysterious is how I would classify In Black. The opening is cherry sweetness balanced by the earthiness of patchouli. As the fragrance wore on, I experienced mainly the jasmine, woods, patchouli, and the slight hint of the rose. It reminds me of a more mature version of Lolita Lempicka's Fleur Defendue.

All in all I really enjoyed this fragrance. I can easily picture this fragrance going well with the sexy librarian look. It is such a study in contrasts, that it's an enjoyable experience.

I rate it 8 out of 10. The longevity is great, the sillage is above average. I recommend it for fall, winter, and evening wear.

LOVE this perfume!! It makes me feel SEXY and daring!! It's most suitable to wear during night time. The mixture of the cherry with the vanilla reminds me of sweet marachino cherries in syrup, yet the vanilla, patchouli and musk add a mysterious scent to it the wraps its self around you and won't let go.I can also sense a sweet but yet woodsy aroma to it in the dry down it must be the licorice. It sweet but not overpowering it allows for the florals to come in and sweep you off your feet. The florals act more as a neutralizer and it works great to balance the perfume and not make it too woodsy!!
LOVE it just the right chemistry for a great perfume!!

I love this perfume is very feminine and sweet chocolatoso.In my skin feels like a mixture of Paco Rabanne Black XS with Narciso Rodriguez for her topped with chocolate

This stuff is wicked good!!!! Juicy, dark, mysterious, warm all in one yummy bottle! I can pick out the licorice and vanilla right away. I can also pick out the cherry and patchouli but I think the vanilla and licorice dominate more. It sort of reminds me of Lolita Lempicka but with more "goth" to it. I love love love it!

Dark and delicious without being too serious. This reminds me of black cherries soaked in a light port wine syrup.

I get a lot of lilac and violet with a little jasmine and rose. The peach also offers some nice, fresh body.

As In Black evolves further, I get to enjoy such a beautifully layered finish--not too much obvious licorice, just enough to add interest and warmth in combination with drops of vanilla, some earthiness that's sweet (cedar and vanilla are such a fantastic combination) and--in concurrence with sherapop--a little Lolita Lempickaesque.

Well balanced and clean, yet still dark and tantalizingly delicious with a fruity oriental feel.

I just noticed this smells similar to delicies by cartier smell one on each wrist and see.

Im trying this on as we speak . It is a dark mystyrios , (but not strong )enchanting perfume . The grapefruit starts off very citrusy, the cherrys blended well in . and then it softens in to a flowery slightly sweetspicy mix. the liquerice lingers all at the back ,not very strong but i can feel it .
A good but bit darker then my comfortsone at this momant ,this is more a winter or autumn sent i think or for night use.

at the begining this reminded me off Fairytale by L.G
but where the fairytale goes sweet and chocolate vanilla , this goes flowery and liqueric.

like them bouth . but not quite shure if i want a whole bottle jet . have to try a little bit more first

I just got this one and I am sooo L O V I N G it!
It is a bit sharp and spicy at first, but at the same time it is very soft and very floral. On my skin, vanilla and peach settels softly as a drydown notes. Actually,the drydown could be described as soft, creamy an choklad like smell. Very nice. I will be wearing it for day & nigt. Soon, I will be attending a bachelor party and I am wearing black del pozo for sure! Staying power is good for EDT.

I bought this one unsniffed and didn't like it at all. It smells funeral. All i can smell is dark chocolate with a hint of cherry and incense. I don't smell the rose, peach nor the jasmine. Recently, I wanna look something different as im attending a party. Put on very dark lipstick, sexy black dress kinda gothic. Sprayed on Stella Rose Absolut perfume...hey somethin's lacking. I wanna look & smell mysterious...a spritz of black del pozo..hey got loads of compliments..it works when mixed w/ any rose perfume, rose notes is not prominent in black del pozo. xxx

Jesus del Pozo IN BLACK could easily have been launched by Lolita Lempicka. It's not identical to any of the perfumes of that house which I've tried, but it definitely inhabits the same general olfactory neighborhood. I don't think that there is a simple, clear category into which either IN BLACK or LOLITA LEMPICKA fits easily. But they are closer to one another than either is to anything else. I definitely disagree with those who find similarities between IN BLACK and BLACK ORCHID (either formulation). To me, IN BLACK is strictly a Lolita Lempicka-esque creation.

IN BLACK opens with a hint of a black rubbery quality which interestingly enough manifests itself also in LOLITA LEMPICKA but not until the drydown. LL opens much sweeter, and, in a side-by-side comparison, I prefer the opening of LL to that of IN BLACK, which seems slightly sour and harsh initially--especially when directly compared with LL. However, IN BLACK gets much better as it dries down and eventually becomes nicer than LOLITA LEMPICKA, which has a much stronger black rubbery note in the drydown than in the opening.

Since what matters most, in my opinion, is the lengthy drydown, not the fleeting opening, I can definitely recommend IN BLACK to anyone who likes Lolita Lempicka's general style. Needless to say: you must like black licorice--it's a prerequisite to appreciating these perfumes.

The top and heart notes combined on my skin to create a slightly sharp opening, and the fragrance dried down to a sweet, woody, almost gourmand type of scent. While I could tolerate the top and heart notes (I have some trouble with violet and lilac), it was the dry-down that I always waited for. However, after a few wears, eventually the licorice got to me, and I had to give the fragrance away.

Gotic! Dark! Wicked! Luscious!

Fruity Floral???! No Way!!! This is an oustanding oriental woody fragrance, and my favourite one from the last decade.

On my skin morphs from a medicinal candy to a warm, rather licory and delicious woody scent. Yes, it is perfumey, Defiant and Rebellious, it tries not to be girly or friendly. I would compare this with Midnight Poison or Black XS For Her.

The staying power has been very good so far!

I was pleasantly surprised by this! The opening is a bit sweet with the cherry/citrus notes, but it faded fast enough into a smooth licorice-musk-patchouli drydown with a hint of cherry. like cherry pipe tobacco others have mentioned here.

Under normal circumstances, I hate, hate, HATE licorice, won't touch the black licorice nor a black jelly bean or those brightly striped candies that look so bold and colorful (and taste so nasty to me) or that horrible Sambuca drink. But the licorice here combined with the cherry, patchouli, vanilla and floral is fabulous. I may even try a bite of licorice someday due to this smelling so good. It's that good.

I swear I detect almond in this also. In Black reminds me of a more spicier, gourmand and less sweet version of My Insolence. I just checked and they have only a couple of notes in common:jasmine, citrus and patchouli. Hmmmmm.

Silliage and longevity are great, lasts several hours on me-I do spray a bit on my clothes which helps.

I absolutely loved the cherry pipe tobacco dry down. It's dark, sweet and spicy and lasts a long time. I love that in my scents. BUT it takes a long time to get there. It opens so syrupy and synthetic that I can't justify wearing it. It took a good 1 1/2-2 hours for that synthetic blast to die down on my skin.

Although it has good longevity, 4-5 hours, it's no-go for me.

I bought JdP In Black unsniffed, after hearing comparisons to Tom Ford's Black Orchid. Good news: it's more wearable than Black Orchid (though it is not a smell-alike. If Black Orchid is what you want, this one can't substitute.) Not so good news: I have mixed feelings about it, even after several wearings.

In Black goes on much sweeter than I expected. At first spritz, it reminds me of those chocolate shells filled with gooey cherry liqueur and a sickeningly-sweet maraschino cherry. I really don't care for this phase at all. It improves after 5 to 10 minutes when the heart notes appear. Phase 2 presents as a woody violet with occasional wafts of lilac. I like this phase very much. The dry-down on me is pleasant but nothing special, spicy musk with a last lingering trace of cedar.

Longevity is on the low end of average for this concentration. I get five hours at most. Otherwise, it's well-crafted and complex, with average sillage for an EDT. I would probably enjoy this scent on another person. Jsut not sure yet if it's my thing.

someone said that this one smells like chocolate covered fruit soaked in booze... according to the site, it contains peach wine

a very distinctive scent, I wear it when I want to feel confident, seductive and alluring it is great for winter evenings, mysterious, warm and soothing, but stays individual.

I once sprayed it as I was getting ready to go out, my bf was in the bathroom, the door was open and he yelled out accusing me of eating chocolate!
It has a definite chocolate phase, I get pepper from it too.
Quirky and unique, not for everyone.

When I first applied this perfume the first thing that came to mind was chocolate covered cherries soaked in booze, later as it evolved it started to smell of dark chocolate. I know chocolate is not in the notes but to my nose the black cherry is so ripe for the plucking, coupled with the licorice that it ends up smelling of rich chocolate on me. Later it becomes creamy and still chocolaty on a vanilla base. An oriental/gourmand scent IMO. It faded fast. So longevity is not so good.

In Black is definetly a night perfume to wear in winter, or in a cold night. Perfect for dark side girls. When I smell it I think of black lace dresses, red wine lips, corsets and all that dark side clothes. Yes is a modern gothic perfume. Really sweet, really black and red, the cherry note is genious combined with the licourice, the violet and the vanilla (I cant smell anything else on my skin). I wouldnt say that it smells like this or that, but it has the same "mood" of Black XS and I dare to say Hypnotic Poison. As a dark side (wannabe/poser)chick I say to In Black: yes yes yes 5*

UPDATE: the lasting power sucks :'( snifsnif

THis is the best floral fruity ever.The licorice kisses the sweet berries with just the right ammount of zing.I love the way the vanilla swirls and blends it all together.The dry down is like the ripest of fruits in a bowl with vanilla and cream on them.The spice makes it exotic and very classy.All in all a very well made fume!

I like all of the notes here, but I guess not all together. In the same way I like black olives, and I like maple syrup, but not together, I think the notes here could be separated into two good perfumes. As is, it's too unbalanced and busy to my nose.

I find this scent more of a floral-fruity-gourmand on my chemistry.

Because violet tends to misbehave on my skin, I get something like "cherry lipstick" in the top notes. It persists through the heart where I start to get whiffs of peach and licorice. Licorice can also be very difficult for me, but fortunately, I find that the heart of the fragrance is short-lived.

An eager base of sweet and sumptuous patchouli-cedar-vanilla soon emerges and persists. I would imagine that violet lovers and patchouli lovers alike would enjoy this fragrance. If you love both, I recommend this scent. It's very unusual!

I love this fragance it is just overwhelming to my senses! It is sexy, sweet, warm and simply delicious...some say it is to sweet, but I'm really in love with it!!!

In Black.

You confuse and intrigue me!!
You pose as a good natured fruity/floral,but you are actually an imposter to this category, you are much better suited to the "oriental" and "gourmand" families.
You give a whole new meaning to the word "fruity"

I simply cannot get enough of this deliciously edible scent, reminds of a rich and calorific trifle, whipped cream goodness, vanillary custard, gooey sponge and tinned fruit segments, suspended in clear glacier-like jelly, tempting you to have an extra large portion,and of which you will probably go back for second helpings.

Cherries and vanilla are the main attraction of this scent which i find hard not to take a lick of my wrist, yet there is an artificialness to this scent which, at last minute stops me from eating my wrist.
The artificial note isnt in any way bad, but it is definately detectable, on the contrary, it adds a deep, dark depth to an otherwise run-of-the-mill "fruity/floral.

This fragrance sends my brain into "overdrive" as i ponder its uniqueness, artificialness and its olfactive family ;)

A worthy (and yummy) blind purchase.
Ladies...you need to try this
xxx

I had this scent, but it was too hard for me,very very very sweet, but however it is quite good scent.

This was a blind purchase again for a very very good price and all I can say is...WOW! It just hit me! This perfume is so sensual, so warm and so black... It is well blended but you still can smell the sour sweetness of cherry and warmness of vanilla and pathouli. For me it is not floral fruity but more like fruity oriental.
A must have for sensual, smoky perfume lovers. I love it!

In Black arrived at my door today. Never smelt it before, so in anticipation, I ran inside and opened it. Sprayed it on and Yes......... it is exquisite, Warm, sweet and touches of spice that blend wonderfully. Is lasting on my skin, and the scent wafts up like a little cloud, bringing joy to my nose. A perfect oriental for me. I am to buy another bottle right away, as I have found my almost, everyday perfume. Adore it to bits.....x

Dark and fruity ,really unusual and quite a surprise. Sadly it didn't last long on my skin.

This one reminds me very much of Tom Ford's Black Orchid. Though I don't see it listed as a note, I sense an underlying chocolate accord along with the vanilla.
Very beautiful fragrance. It is woman-centric in it's scents. Very sweet (not cloying) and it makes you feel like a million dollars (worth of candy.)
Love it.
Fans of sweet perfumes need look no further. This is the perfect balance of sweet and fruity/ floral. Just brilliant.

horrible at first.. but then turns into something very similar to Narciso Rodriguez's For Her.. great if you spray on your clothes and put them on an hour later.. otherwise i could not live through the beginning..

In Black is different from any perfume I've ever smelled or own.I like it so far and my husband says "mmm, now that smells good".It reminds me of chocolate covered cherry candies with booze.AS for longevity, I can still catch whiffs six hours after applying.I think it will go great with warm spring weather.Well worth the $12.99 I paid for it. I think I shall try more of Mr. Del Pozo's perfumes.

Wow this smells really good I can't stop smelling my wrist! I am glad my risk taking with this one worked out in my favor! I shall wear this to deathrock disko tomorrow night. :-)

I Notice some Incense and Black Licorice in this Perfume i expected
more of an Oriental woody scent before
i first tried it. i thought there whould
be benzion Oppopponox Civet Something
more woody i was a bit dissapointed.
but this has a class of it's own.
very suble but it you noticed.
it's a very Deletable scent. a Great perfume for Seduction.

to Adriana_87: hmm i have never smelled that one. i plan to order a bottle of in black later this week..hope i like it! :-)

To Darkcurls,if you like delices cartier,you will like this one..maybe more since it is the darker side of delices.This one could be the elixir/extreme version of delices;)

this looks like my kind of fragrance. I am all about the gothic scene from the music to the black hair and nails, to the clothes to the make-up. I love to dress up in my best fishnets, boots, & goth wear with my fiance & go out & dance all night. I gotta try this.

This is my second review.
Completely different feelings now - I'm in love with this:)
Dark, gothic, smoky and warm. Fruity and woody at the same time, definately - unusual. And I'm glad, that it's underrated & quite rare in other perfume collections(how egoistic).
Bottle is allmost empty and I'm going to purchase one more bottle..or maybe five bottles:D

First idea, which came to my mind after testing it:
Tyre powder mixed with schugar:)
Very odd, but worth trying again;)

Odd.
Dark.
Moody.
This is a strong characther perfume... heavy and heady, this one fits this cold season like a glove!

The scent is very unique, it does not resemble me at all Lolita, Délices or any other perfume. It's bold, with a strong cherry note at the begining and I could swear that I smell chocolate and whiskey... maybe is the licorice, vanilla patchouli play me a trick!
This perfume embodies exactly the Mon Chéri chocolates scent!

So gourmand, but so dark at the same time. Superb lasting power and pretty good sillage.
Truly a keeper for the coldest days of Winter when you need some warmth or for those days you are in a vampiric and dark mood... this always makes me think about this vampire trend these days!!=)

It is strange, unusual, you need courage to wear it, but the lasting power is one of the greatests!
Yes, "gothic" expresses this smell very well. Strangely enough on my skin is kind of cool and dry instead of being warm, it's spicy, but almost a minty way. On the other hand it's kind of gourmand, and dark, dark, very dark. A good choise for young ladies wearing black and being fond of unique/extreme clothing and make-up.
Personally, I don't like it, whenever I tried it on my skin I wanted to wash it off, but it's hardly possible.
The bottle is beautiful, though!

i think this is like exotic licorice with vanilla. sweet, spicy and sexy. this is hot. i MUST add this to my collection.
and yes, i agree with others, it´s kind of gothic.

This is indeed a really unusual floral fruity perfume.

It is dark, mysterious,sweet in a gothic way, even though there's not that much dramatic change between top notes, middle and base notes, but this perfume just kept me coming back and keep on sniffing my wrist and somehow, feel addicted, and feel the perfume is edible.

Strange enough, right after spray it on me, In Black reminds me of dark chocolate with rum, cherry or dried grapes/currant in it. The kinda rum feeling is fresh and delicious to start with, and then it gradually goes into a more mudcake smelling phase with pepermint hint. It's cosy, but as well as clean at the same time.

It is really an interesting perfume, to me, it's more towards the floral fruity gourmand end. If you like Lolita, you might be found of this too.

At first, I don't detect cherry at all.
Scent is very juicy and sweet, almost sharp.
At start I feel citrusy rose and it stays with me about a hour - as I hate rose un citruses, combination of these two makes me sick. Then scent turns into fruity-flowery mix, which is a little bit chemical, but better than top notes.
I like drydown, then it's becoming smokey, sexy and edible. Combination of base notes would be great perfume for me, unfortunately, I'm not ready to wait a couple of hours to get that scent.

I lusted after this perfume. Finally I got it and I am not dissapointed. Sweet blast of cheries at first, then the spiciness and patchouli drifts in. Finally it mellows to this pretty slightly spicy cherry vanilla,a little bit like the cherry tobacco. Which I was hoping it would. That scent reminds me of childhood of my sweet gentle grandpa who use to smoke a pipe.But there is just enough spiciness still there to smell exotic and sexy as well.

I had the chance to try this scent out.
I must admit I simply loved it ... it's so sensual and calm .... despite the fact it's not overpowering I got loads of compliments .... I wish I had a bottle of this great fragrance. :)

I love more this one every day.
It's sweet, really, but woody too.
This stars fruity but after some time turn to a odd oriental woody fragrance. I think In Black can be weared by men too because is nothing floral.

I like this fragrance! It's dark but warm and cozy.
I don't smell anything but cherry all the time. And in the very end - a little patchouli.

I was surprised this spicy peppery (not even listed..)smell in the opening wich was so beautifully strong, bold, pleasant and sexy. I use to wear this a lot, this is a very lovely scent. Bottle matches also well with the perfume.

Dark and Smokey, smells like cherry flavored tobacco. Different for sure.

A splendid fragrance! Quite sweet and delicious.
It is really similar to Delices de Cartier but more clear and sophisticated. Delices is more insipid compared with In Black, therefore the latter is a better choice.

Dark, mysterious and profound, it fits special evenings and also adds comfort and warmth to cold winter days. I feel it suits black evening dress as well as winter trench coat.
It is one of my favourites!

Nice one, very pleasant warm opening, peppery afterwards. Because of the hint of licorice, it reminds me of Lolita Lempicka, very light version of Lolita I would say.

Love the bottle!

It would be a great fragrance, if the staying power were a little better. It disappears very fast, unfortunately (I have In White and I just love it - but it doesn't last as well).

I really love this fragrance. It's extremely mysterious and seductive.

It is one of the few... or I should say the first sweet fragrance I might end up liking (or just not hating as a start).
I find the cherries I nice change. There is a depth to it, yes but I don't see anything black... except for the bottle (which is absolutely stunning btw)
Its a little disappointing how it turn a little too gourmand when the vanilla gets through... reminds me of pastry.
Nevertheless if I can find out the right time to wear this one I might like it.

An amazing scent- I can detect moments of smell-a-likes as this fragrance develops on me. It starts off bold and spicy like Jean Paul Gaultier, goes through a vintage floral stage like Lanvin Rumeur, before settling on a warm, wintry patchouli scent like DKNY Delicious Night. There's also something very gourmand here which I can't put my finger on- it's either red berries or warm vanilla cake, but it's definitely sweet and edible. Grown up, dark, sophisticated and worth every penny.

for me one word:
Spectacular!!!

It is a cozy and mystic scent, with a cruel synthetic edge. It has the scent of dark hair coluring ( think of dark red/ black/ purple tones) mixed with sandalwood and a faint fruitiness, and a delicate pepper shadow over all of it. It is like a nice cup of weird herbal tea with a good breakfast. I wear it not so often, I only have the 50 ml bottle, but I think I should wear it more. It is really special and delicate and strange to my nose.
UPDATE: I tried this in the morning with Lolita Lempicka on my right wrist, with In Black on my left hand. In black is more intense in its strange-ness:). But it is not so perfumey as Lolita. It IS bitter and dark on me, sweetness is only in the background. But I think that this could make every human skin a lot sexier. The only problem is, that one must really dare to wear it as an everyday scent. If I could "come home" at the side of such a fragrance like In Black, my life could be much more succesful. It is really not a well-known frag, and cheap, and so special. More braveness for me, please.

Similar to Cartier- Délices De Cartier EDP, but sweeter and lighter. Very special fragrance with amazing notes. I like it!

very strange parfum, and really smell hot, deep ,nd black

Just got this and I like it. I dont smell any licorice in this at all. I do however, smell the cherry,vanilla and patchouli. Dries down like cherry pipe tobacco. Kinda spicy in a way. Love the bottle with the atomizer! Lasting power is pretty good so far.

The licorice note is too tiring for me - it gives the whole composition a tone of mouldy jam.
