≈ $130 · 100ml · approx. retail
Originally released as Sehr Al Kalemat ('Wizard of Words'), Kalemat Black is a darker, smokier reworking of the Kalemat line, pairing frankincense and basil against a base of oud and amber. It leans more resinous and smoky than the original Kalemat, appealing to oud purists who want less sweetness and more depth.
