Black No. 1 (Fka Blackbird)
masculine
Created by Christi Meshell
Black No. 1 (Fka Blackbird) by House of Matriarch is a Leather fragrance for men. Black No. 1 (Fka Blackbird) was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Christi Meshell. A living work of liquid art, our first cult classic was launched as BLACKBIRD in 2012. Named “SEXIEST SCENT” at the International Artisan Fragrance Awards, TOP MEN’S FRAGRANCE by Men’s Journal Magazine and BEST OF THE WEST by Sunset Magazine, this worldly and penetrating perfume contains hundreds of exotic natural essences and a living spirit of it's own. Black No. 1 has evolved in it's identity while retaining all of her original magnificence; only the name of this perfume has evolved; the formulation is exactly the same. Renaming a top selling fragrance is an unprecedented act in the fragrance "business", however Black No. 1 captivates the wearer to a deep and enchanting mystique as it whispers "anything is possible".
