Oath For Him vs Black

Shared character

The two scents overlap on several citrus‑fresh, aromatic and woody ingredients (lemon, bergamot, cedarwood, geranium, musk, amber, lavender, blackcurrant bud) and are both classified within the woody family of accords.

How they differ

Both fragrances share the notes lemon, bergamot, cedarwood, geranium, musk, amber, lavender and blackcurrant bud, and they both sit in the woody accord. Oath For Him adds a broad range of additional ingredients – jasmine, rose, iris/orrris, vetiver, patchouli, plum, apple, melon, orange and moss – and is the only one to list a citrus accord. Black’s only unique note is sandalwood; it does not list any additional accords beyond the shared woody base.

Who each suits

Oath For Him, with its mix of citrus, floral, fruity and green notes, may appeal to wearers who enjoy a multi‑layered, fresh‑yet‑soft profile suitable for daytime or transitional seasons. Black, defined mainly by sandalwood within the same woody framework, may suit those who prefer a more streamlined, warm‑woody character, often favored for evening or cooler‑weather wear.
