Indie natural line Providence Perfume Co has launched Heart of Darkness, a new fragrance for men.
A fearsome fougère for men with oak moss, cedar moss, lavender, vetiver, espresso, nutmeg, tonka, cedar wood, and rockrose. Complex and deep, with woody mossy notes, hints of coffee, and incense. Travel deep into the heart of the black forest.
"All that mysterious life of the wilderness that stirs in the forest, in the jungles, in the hearts of wild men." -Joseph Conrad
Providence Perfume Co Heart of Darkness is $45 for a 5 ml rollerball or $175 for 50 ml.

Sounds good for women, too. I’m surprised there’s no travel spray like usual…maybe men don’t want to look sissified using a travel spray? I don’t see men using rollerballs either…
Not sure she is doing travel sprays now — looked around on her site, most fragrances are just in those 2 formats.
No samples for it that I can find on her site, sadly. I’m curious…SO would like it just based on the name alone…but I’m not buying anything unsniffed.
Guessing she’ll add them…
Sounds very interesting to me. Maybe the 5 ml roller is supposed to be the sample? The pic of the bottle makes it look fantastic. I wonder if it looks as striking IRL.
Well she usually does sample sprays too. I’m thinking she just doesn’t have them yet.
If i were not on a no buy I would buy this for the name alone…Heart of Darkness was one of the most influential reads for me in my youth….Joseph Conrad was a brilliant writer….
and the notes sound amazing! agreeing with hajusuuri that I think a woman could pull this one off too!
I like the sound of this one, it would go perfectly in my mostly brooding collection.
I went to Providence Perfume Company yesterday. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a sniff of this because it wasn’t ready. However, I did purchase Love In A Mist which will be a fantastic spring perfume. Peppery, earthy floral with a hay/lilac dry down. Really nice. Charna is a talented perfumer and her boutique is charming.
