Olivier Durbano has launched the third fragrance in his "Bijoux de Pierres Poèmes" (Stone Poem Jewels) series. Black Tourmaline is...
...a resinous and sweet smoky scent that Durbano has built around the legendary stone of protection. Burned wood, sweet smoke, rich oud and dried spice unfurl in a reverent ceremony, while earthy notes of patchouli, moss and leather provide a fragrant anchor to its otherworldly mystery.
Additional notes include cardamom, coriander, cumin, frankincense, pepper, precious woods, musk and amber.
Olivier Durbano Black Tourmaline is available at Luckyscent; $115 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Someone save me. Please.
And apparently there are at least 3 more in the works…OD seems to be fond of incense 🙂
Actually Robin, aren't there four more fragrances on the way? I remember reading an article that Durbano was interviewed saying the series was going to be seven fragrances based on gems..?
It's nice to see with this 3rd release, it's definitely a much more masculine/unisex scent than the last two (Amethyst and Rock…I think?)
You're absolutely correct — there are supposed to be 7 total. Can't add, myself 😉
Did you try the first 2? I didn't think either of them were feminine at all, although the Rock Crystal was perhaps more “obviously” unisex.
OMG, 7? I will be broke very soon. Just got the first two and the third one sounds fantastic.
I know the feeling, esp. since it looks like they might all end up being incense!
