Mark Buxton was reportedly told to create a scent recalling 'black ink,' and the result plays light against shadow: bright aldehydic citrus and magnolia set against a seared, calligraphic accord of ink, incense, and Chinese cedarwood inspired by Japanese sumi art. It remains one of the most abstract, art-concept-driven releases in the CDG catalogue.
