Statik Olfactive Cherry Noire

Statik Olfactive recently released their ninth perfume, Cherry Noire, the third composed by Hez Binkowitz, who does gourmand fragrances with a style all his own, (which I love, by the way).

I would like to start with a few things about the brand. Founder and Creative Director Chris Martin didn’t stumble into fragrance long before creating Statik Olfactive; already known in the fragrance world as the guy who didn’t just collect scents, he studied them, allowing them to shape the way he experienced the world. Statik Olfactive is a brand built on respect for the artist behind the bottle. A home for indie and artisanal perfumers who treat scent like a canvas. They are given freedom, time, and trust to create something that feels personal. Chris believes the world should know who crafted the scent that moved them. I honor Chris’s vision and direction in creating Statik Olfactive, as well as the perfumers behind each fragrance.

“I wanted this to be a statement piece that’s truly unisex for a night out, and one that commands attention. Something that lets people know you are here, but is also deeply sensual and seductive, drawing people in and keeping them there. Something that you can own the night with. Few fruits truly conjure up images of passion, eroticism, and seduction like Cherry. The inspiration for this scent is rather quite simple and brief. We wanted something that spoke to a sexy night out. Something to turn heads. Something that draws you closer. Something enticing, far as it is close. It had to be narcotic, intoxicating, AND sultry. And I think no one could have done it better than Hez Binkowitz.” Chris Martin, Owner and founder

Certain scents don’t just sit on the skin; wearing them can alter the evening. Statik Olfactive Cherry Noire is one of those, a decision made deliberately, with mystery and sensuality. Nothing about it is polite. Nothing about it is safe. It’s a black cherry perfume with depth, metaphorically the kind that stains lips and fingers and makes someone stare a little too long. A hint of neroli threads through, honing the edges, subtle and deliberate.

Cherry Noire shifts with intention; a slow swirl of what must be a Hors d`age Cognac adds warmth and sophistication without being aloof. The notes of cherry and cognac mesh together two distinct personalities negotiating the evening: one dark, one composed, both aware of their effect. As I wear it, I find it creates a space where I want to be deliberate. It’s rare for a scent to influence behavior rather than mood, but Cherry Noire has that kind of impressive authority.

Statik Olfactive Cherry Noire deepens into something textured and evocative. The specific Thai oud used is highly prized, not overly smoky or aggressive, but with an esoteric sultriness. A steady resonant hum that feels like nothing I have experienced before, but something I have yearned for. By the time it fully develops, Cherry Noire is not just something on my skin, clinging like a secret I would ruin my reputation to keep. It lingers in the air and in the memory of the evening. It’s not innocent. It’s a unisex extrait and in a world full of fragrances trying to shout their way into relevance, it feels like the truest form of luxury, and once you inhabit it, the night behaves differently.

Notes: black cherry, Persian saffron, neroli, jasmine, spun sugar, cognac, cedarwood, Thai oud, oakmoss, vanilla.
