"BLACK No1 is phenomenal—dark, complex, distinctive, and beautifully composed. The fragrance itself exceeded my expectations, and I also loved the Orca and Coco Blanco samples included with my order. One spritzer needed troubleshooting, but Christi responded quickly and helpfully. A memorable fragrance and a genuinely personal experience from an artisan house."

Amazing scent! HOM never disappoints

"Amazing scent! HOM never disappoints One of the best rich, deep leather scents that I have in my collection. An absolute must have!"

— Collin B. (5/5)

Black opens with pine resin

"Black opens with pine resin and balsam, giving a sharp, green, foresty snap layered over dark, resinous oud-leather. The heart develops into a rich, earthy leather, grounding the soft, smoky-sweet incense that quietly wafts up from the skin. The dry down shifts to a mineralic tang, creating a meditative drape of incense-laden forest with a hint of oceanic breeze. TL;DR: Meditative and mysterious, but comforting at the same time."

Black No. 1 seems to

"Black No. 1 seems to have changed some. The Black No. 1 I received is more of a rough suede. I remember there being more pine and woods. A nice forest floor with a slight leather in the background. Now, the leather is completely upfront and it stays there. I do realize that this happens when the perfumer uses high levels of naturals. The longevity of Black No.1 also has changed. Beforehand, I could smell Black No.1 for hours on end. This also might be attributed to the high levels of natural oils. I'm not saying that the previous Black No.1 had less. I think it's more of how my skin reacts to certain oils. Woody's last forever on me as do pine-infused scents. Do I enjoy my new bottle of Black No.1, very much so. It's very very manly."

I have to say, I

"I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed. The scent is incredibly captivating and unique. It has a perfect balance of freshness and warmth, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions. The longevity of the fragrance is also impressive, as it lasts throughout the day without being overpowering. I've received numerous compliments while wearing this cologne, which is always a great confidence booster. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking to elevate their scent game."

— George C. (5/5)

This is hands down the

"This is hands down the best leather based scent that I've ever smelled. To me at least theres a pleasant ambery incense in the dry down combined with a fresh leather scent that keeps me sniffing myself throughout the day (not sorry)."
