Encre Noir by Lalique (women version) - it's dark...Poe's raven dark...
Since I am interested in perfumery I am on the search for the darkest, most evil and coldest perfume! I tried a lot of stuff that is considered dark like Encre Noire, Black Tourmaline, Norne, Fumidus, Messe de Minuit etc. etc., but all the perfumes were not even close to what I am looking for! Maybe such perfume doesn't even exist? The basenotes of real Oud come close to what I am looking for. Maybe some of you guys know a super-unknown insiders' tip that smells like a bone-filled dungeon in a medieval castle in the darkest night in the coldest winter!
Encre Noir by Lalique (women version) - it's dark...Poe's raven dark...
Perhaps Predator by Melfleurs
If i have understood the word dark correctly, then i'll throw in : Nasomatto Black Afgano (Parfum Extrait)
"Le parfum est la musique du corps" (Marcel Rochas)
The perfume should not have even the tiniest hint of sweetness, it should be extremely dry and maybe smoky.
Jacomo de Jacomo
Salvatore Dali PH
Encre Noire IMO. Probably the darkest I have.
probable Encre Noir or Halston Man Amber
Maybe Le Labo Patchouli 24
Narciso Rodriguez For Him Eau De Parfum Intense.
Seconding Salvador Dali
Also, G Man by Gainsboro- one of the darkest, almost choking, tarry-leathery scents I was ever given the opportunity to try.
Vero Profumo - Onda
The extrait version.
Boadicia Complex
Another vote for Salvatore Dali PH.
"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical...It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson
One that immediately springs to mind is Villoresi Patchouli, It has been described by a previous reviewer as 'cave' and I think that is appropriate. Another which I have in my collection and fully endorse is Or Black by Pascal Morabito.
Dark aoud by Montale
Want some really dark and black? Try "Dirty English" by Juicy Couture.
Jacomo de Jacomo or Versace Man.
Your description is rather Gothic, and for me one company springs to mind - Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.
Omen and Nyarlahotep spring to mind, but the site is stuffed full of scents that would be right up your street.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...

Rose de Nuit or Serge Noire by Serge Lutens

Tom Ford Black Orchid. Rich and without light florals or citrus.

Most things from Slumberhouse, surprised you were not impressed by Norne. Never smelled anything as dark.
In the eerie/sinister department, you might want to check out
Byredo M/Mink
CB Black March
L'Artisan Méchant Loup
You might also be looking for something very heavy and uncompromising like
Villoresi Vetiver
Santa Maria Novella Peau d'Espagne
