Wyld NotesBlack Book
Black Book is the darkest entry in the Wyld Notes line: nutmeg and ginger up top, osmanthus and juniper in the heart, olibanum and tonka underneath. Like every fragrance in the range, the maker describes it as 100% natural and built from essential oils. It arrives in Europe on 19 September 2026 — the waitlist will keep you informed.
The opening is pure spice cupboard: nutmeg and ginger, warm and dry rather than sweet. The heart is more unusual — osmanthus, a flower with a soft, apricot-like character, set against the crisp, gin-like snap of juniper berry.
Underneath sit olibanum — better known as frankincense — and tonka bean. The resin brings a smoky, faintly balsamic depth; tonka answers with a sweetness reminiscent of almond and hay. On paper it reads masculine, and many of the manufacturer's reviewers wear it that way — though some women write that they wear it themselves.
Wyld Notes states the blend also contains juniper, lavender and clary sage from its own farms. On the manufacturer's site, Black Book averages 4.94 out of 5 stars across 109 published reviews.

My husband picked this one for himself and I like it also. It's the first time in many years that he can actually wear a cologne that is safe for me to be around. The scent is very pleasant and makes him feel good to wear it. We've even let our grandsons sample it! They like it as well. I'm hoping they will make the switch to the purity of WYLD soon!
This is a gorgeous fragrance - it is warm and sensual . I get so many compliments on it! I love how natural it is and the scent is so rich and delicious.
I like it and wear it everyday. It lasts all day and smells manly plus I don’t have to worry about toxic ingredients.
I love this fragrance! It's kinda sweet and has a hint of leather and very manly. I just finished a bottle of Smoky Ember which I love too! I highly recommend them both.
I love this scent. I love how it smells on me but I think I would go crazy if I smelled this on a handsome man!
The scent is amazing and non toxic is a bonus.
