A word from the expert
With Jusbox, the traditional craftsmanship of the greatest master perfumers is combined with a modern concept: creating fragrances inspired by music, two arts that both have the ability to bring back memories and emotions. Made in Italy with care and always with an eco-responsible approach, the olfactory melodies created by Jusbox are contained in a refined bottle with a disc-shaped cap. Evoking the freedom and rebellion of Kurt Cobain, Black Powder eau de parfum was created by Julien Rasquinet. Powerful, unexpected and contrasting, this scent with deep leather tones is balanced with bold notes of blackcurrant and chilli. Like Cobain's guitar, it is explosive, bohemian and mysterious at the same time.

From music notes to olfactive notes
The jarring chords of Kurt Cobain's guitar are the top notes: the sweetish blackcurrant together with the bitter pimento represent the melodic and poignant riff of Seattle sound. Gentle hints of Tonka Bean, sweet as childhood memories, interplay with the intensity of patchouli, whilst the persistent Sandalwood note expresses the obsessive rhythm of instruments. Frankincense celebrates both the revolutionary atmosphere and the rebellious and romantic spirit of Nirvana's lyrics.
Unforgettable memories
Seattle, hub of a cultural melting pot, gave birth to one of the most extraordinary music phenomenons in rock history. It is the evolution of Seattle's music traditions: in the garages, from the hardest rock, Grunge is born. Rough melodies created in underground areas express this generation's uneasiness. Nirvana's lyrics exude the existential angst that Kurt Cobain used to express by turning folk melodies into visionary and toxic musical idioms, a constant rhythm where sweet memories alternate with regrets through acoustic laments.
Tone
The chosen color recalls the imaginative atmospheres of the hidden places where Seattle sound fully expressed itself.
