Lampblack EDP

$135.00 USD
A sophisticated fusion of ink and light.

Our best-selling scent and the fragrance that launched FZOTIC. Lampblack balances inky nagarmotha root with bright grapefruit and pepper, conjuring the air of a printmaker’s studio—where darkness and light meet. Awarded four stars by Luca Turin, it’s been a fan favorite ever since.

Lampblack launched my career as a perfumer. I created it for an exhibition of small ink paintings that featured opaque, black India Ink contrasting with transparent, vivid colors. The art was dark and shadowy but also glowed with light and color.

Lampblack gets its name from Lampblack pigment which is used to make India Ink. Historically, it was made with soot collected from oil-burning lamps.

For the fragrance, I developed an accord that smelled like ink. I used the essential oil of nagarmotha, a root related to vetiver, which has a slight petroleum odor. I wanted it to have the almost industrial smell of a printmaker's workshop. As a contrast, I added a sparkling citrus accord to give it shimmering brightness.

Sweet orange, black pepper, bitter grapefruit, nagarmotha, benzoin, vetiver, inky notes.

Sophisticated cocktails. Brisk autumn evenings. Chance encounters in city streets.

My go-to

This must be the fourth bottle of lampblack I’ve purchased? Maybe the 5th? It is my favorite scent of all time and became my signature years ago. I really, really love it.

Great Scent

Based off of the sample, I ordered a full bottle. I enjoy the one-offness of this scent and how well it comes together. This has pulled me away from my typical "Green" scents (polo,aventus,curveball,envy) that I wear often. This smells as described in a wonderful way. Bruno FTW.

An instant favorite

The description piqued my curiosity and my skepticism about this fragrance but at first waft the skepticism was replaced with embrace while the curiosity remained. The ink accord and grapefruit dance together in the smoky heart of the deep black scent. If your wardrobe features any black, you need Lampblack in your life. And if it doesn’t, you will still enjoy it and revel in the beautiful hand crafted frangrance.
