Description
“Its smoky heart of mysterious spices is shot through with shards of fresh eucalyptus and citrus to create an impolite mix of opposites. Its smoky wood accord underlines the contrast of dark and light with Australian sandalwood bringing a rich and deep signature. For the bold and brave. Inspired by the beauty and terror of Australian bush fires that are both destructive and regenerative.” a note from the brand.

I have dry skin and I can only smell woodsy notes, dark wood with some insence and a good punch of pepper. Unisex towards manly. No sweet notes at all. A perfect scent to layering with some flowery/musky- scents, I think. I like it – don’t love it. Absolute worth trying!
Jag har torr hud och jag kan enbart känna tränoter. Mörka tränoter med lite rökelse och faktiskt en rejäl dos peppar. Unisex som lutar åt manligt. Inga söta noter alls, en perfekt lager på lager doft med blommiga eller muskiga dofter, tror jag. Jag gillar den – kommer inte att falla för den men absolut värd att testa!

The best among the others of the group. Alfarom nailed it.

Black Heart V 2 è tra i quattro profumi di Map of the Heart, quello che sulla carta almeno, ha sentori più originali. Effettivamente è un profumo per palati forti. E stando alle intenzioni degli autori, vorrebbe somigliare ad una foresta che brucia. Che prende fuoco.
Ha una struttura molto corposa. Sulla quale predominano incenso, legni ma soprattutto eucalipto.
Il profumo ha qualcosa di ripugnante. Fastidioso allo stomaco. Come un pugno. Un incendio visto da lontano. Un albero in fiamme. Il mondo all’imminente passo dell’Apocalisse.

Imagine the same birch-tar driven smoky accord of Santa Maria Novella’s Nostalgia paired to a warm, kind of spicy woody bone structure and you get close to what Black Heart V.2 smells like. It’s less *industrial* than the Santa Maria Novella and it avoids the clean musky base that let several Nostalgia’s potential lovers down but after the promising opening it quickly turns into a nondescript and pretty uninspired woody-balmy thing with barely perceptible smoky undertones. It smells nice overall but it falls apart really too soon to my tastes.
Smoky fragrances have offered way better takes on the main theme (Bois D’Ascese and Comme Des Garcons Tar are still unbeatable) and I guess a bit more courage would have played in the fragrance favor. Nice and kind of forgettable at the same time.
