Extrait de Parfum · 30%. Size: 50ML
Super fast delivery and surprise gift in my order. Smells amazing and keeps for hours. Becoming addicted customer ❤️
Sweet, bold, and powerful. One spray is more than enough
That restraint is key. Black Market is built to hit hard without needing excess.
For something this powerful, the price makes it feel like a bargain. Just don’t overspray.
Value to strength ratio is a big part of the appeal. Appreciate the honest advice.
I’d heard this was intense and it is but in a good way. Sweet, rich, and lasts long. Feels like great value.
Intensity with control is the brief. Glad it lived up to expectations.
Every time I wear this, someone comments on it. Sweet and smoky in a very addictive way.
Those reactions are exactly what this scent is built for. Glad it’s turning heads.
Looking for a perfume like Montale Arabians Tonka? Black Market is our 30% extrait de parfum built on the same saffron, rose, oud and tonka character, for $50 instead of $159.
CONCENTRATION: 30%
GENDER: Unisex
"INSPIRED BY" RETAIL PRICE: $159.00
DESCRIPTION:
Inspired by Montale’s Arabian Tonka, Black Market is the pulse of forbidden trade. Spiced tonka bean meets oud, amber, and a streak of rose, sweet, dark, and dangerously smooth. It moves from heat to haze, wrapping skin in rich, resinous smoke. The sweetness feels earned, not innocent, luxury stripped of license and laced with intent. A scent for the bold and the knowing, built to outlast curfews and consequence alike.
The scent
Spiced. Smoky. Forbidden.
Not quite you? Take the 60-second scent quiz
Maceration is the quiet part of perfumery most brands skip. It is the period after blending, where fragrance oils and alcohol are left to rest, bond, and mature - allowing the scent to fully develop its depth, balance, and longevity.
At Larcin, every batch is macerated for 3-4 weeks before it is ever allowed to sell. No rushing. No shortcuts. This time is essential: harsh edges soften, notes settle into each other, and the fragrance becomes what it is meant to be on skin.
Note: Larcin is not associated with Arabians Tonka - Montale. Use of other brands' trademarks is solely to help customers identify the scent inspiration. We do not make counterfeit versions of Arabians Tonka - Montale. We make our own formulations inspired by well-known perfumes.

Verified buyerGorgeous white florals - its a classic for a reason! I actually have the original, but i have to be careful using it as it can give me a headache. Larcins version is practically identical and i don't get headachy from it so that is a total win :-)

Verified buyerHands down the best vanilla scent. It's sweet amd yummy, but not too sickly. The woods balance it beautifully and it lasts all day. Love this so much for winter!! It also layers beautifully with Embers
Larcin replied:
Thank you Ali! We love how you described Velin’s sweet vanilla balanced by smooth woods, and we’re thrilled it lasts all day for you. It really is a beautiful cosy winter fragrance, and layering it with Embers sounds incredible. Thank you for sharing the photo and supporting Larcin!

Verified buyerSuper spot on! This has to be one of the best dupes of a fragrance that I've tried in a long time!
This brand genuinely takes the maceration seriously, and it makes a palpable difference. The perfume notes are blended, not screechy and does not turn aggressive on certain notes when applied to the skin.
I bought this just to try it out, but it won't be my last purchase from this brand. I look forward to see what other fragrances they dupe.

Verified buyerThis perfume was completely mysterious. When I applied her, I loved the scent, my head was giddy and I felt so at ease with this fragrance. After a period, maybe an hour or so I thought she had left me. My family members kept asking me what I was wearing, they were drawn in. The perfume had escaped me but when I stopped and took in a moment with a relaxed breath, she was there - elegant, poised, an understated deportment.

Verified buyergenuinely the perfect gender neutral perfume! the milky and woody tones blend together so well to create a crispy and earthy feeling. my go-to when i'm going for a casual night out, super long-lasting, and very complementary layered with papel (also from larcin)!!! so impressed by this scent <3

Verified buyerfigment is incredibly creamy, soft, and leafy! it's just scrumptious and exactly as you would expect with the added bonus of lasting so so much longer than the diptyque scent! i also don't need to use a whole lot each day because the projection is awesome and it sticks around with ease. i catch myself sniffing me all the time 😭 can't recommend it enough !!!!

Verified buyeri love this perfume!! it's gentle, warm and cozy and smells exactly as you would expect it to! i wear a larcin scent daily, and i reach for papel whenever i'm having a more lowkey day. it's subtle yet noticeable up close, and extremely long lasting as i've come to expect from larcin! very very happy and couldn't recommend it enough!

Verified buyerAt first the fragrance didn’t present itself to me. After 30 minutes a different story emerged. The fig notes opened up into a creamy subtle scent. It remained close to my skin - this is my preference- and I had the pleasure for next 4 -5 hours of the scent visiting me, letting me know it’s magic is still working, a delightful encounter. I like this better than the original scent.

Larcin replied:
Thank you so much, Amanda! 'Masterpiece', we couldn't have said it better ourselves. So glad Aristocrat has found its way into your collection. We hope it continues to captivate!

Verified buyerVery very similar to the original - like 98%. Such a great fragrance for work. Inoffensive and sophisticated.

Inoffensive and sophisticated is exactly what we were going for. Thank you for the wonderful review!

It opens with bergamot and saffron, moves through bulgarian rose and oud, then settles into sugar cane, tonka bean, amber, white musk and oakmoss.
Black Market is Larcin’s interpretation of Arabians Tonka from Montale, built around the same scent character. It is an inspired-by fragrance, not the original. In our own surveys and testing, most people couldn’t tell the two apart, so it’s very close.
No. Black Market is Larcin’s own fragrance, inspired by the scent profile of Arabians Tonka. It is compounded in France and bottled in Melbourne. It is not made by Montale, it is not a refill or a copy of their formula, and Larcin is not affiliated with Montale.
Extrait de parfum. Black Market is made at 30% fragrance oil, the extrait strength, which is higher than a typical eau de parfum. That is why it lasts around 10–15 hours on skin in our testing.
Black Market is made at 30% fragrance concentration. Performance varies with skin, climate and application, so wear time will differ from person to person. In our testing, wear is around 10–15 hours on skin, depending on conditions and other factors, and longer on clothes. That holds for nearly every fragrance in our catalogue.
