Black Tourmaline was sent to me as a freebie with a fragrance purchase when I mentioned to the seller that I like perfumes with a pepper note. Well, I don't get a pepper note in this. What I do get is a tidal wave of patchouli and musk that is frankly aggressive and overpowering. The more I smell Black Tourmaline, the more I am reminded of the sillage of Polo and it actually kind of smells like an older brother of Polo. Let's just say that I would not be pleased if my boyfriend started sporting Black Tourmaline.

Per The Perfumed Posse, here are the notes: cardamom, coriander, cumin, frankincense, pepper, smoked wood, oud, leather, precious woods, musk, amber, moss, patchouli.
