One of our most popular fragrances, Black Sea has been carefully revised as part of our CandleScience CleanScents®. Salty oceanic accords combine with dark musk and sandalwood to fill your space with this balanced, airy scent. Geographically bridging modern-day Europe and Asia, the Black Sea was the end of the known world to ancient civilizations. Today, its shadowy waters are even rumored to hide the lost city of Atlantis. Hints of its mystery and intrigue combine to inspire this scent’s seductive aroma. Black Sea is an ideal year round scent that makes an excellent addition to your high-end candle line, as well as luxury soaps, sugar scrubs, and lotions.

This fragrance is infused with essential oils, including sweet orange, mandarin, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus, clove leaf, clove bud, pine, grapefruit, mentha leaf, cumin, and wheatgerm.

Blends well with: Lavender Driftwood, Orange Pomander, Pistachio Meringue, Velvet Vanilla, Bohemian Rose, Lychee Blush

Alternative branding ideas: Atlantis, Mystical Waters

Suggested colors: Black, Blue

The Best
Chelsea Hall 2025-05-17

I had to come on here and talk about the Black Sea. I’ve had quite a few scents from here, but this one….. Let me tell you is the greatest smell my nose has EVER smelled. I made soap out of it (HP) with 2 sample bottles that I had- I came back for a 16oz. I can smell the bottle lingering still, and I can smell it coming from my soaps on the shelf for weeks now- My 16oz will be here soon and I’ll be making everything with it. Like I said, literally my most favorite scent that I’ve ever smelled in my life. If this one ever gets discontinued I will probably never order from here again in an outrage haha.

Beautiful scent and so calming. I'm curious why this can not be used in a reed diffuser but can be used in a room spray?

Hey Kady! Thanks for your review. The maximum usage level for Category 10A - Reed Diffusers on the IFRA Certificate is 3.75% which is less than our recommended usage rate of 15% for Reed Diffusers. You can absolutely test using 3.75% or less and your diffusers still be IFRA Compliant, but it may be too faint of a fragrance. Our Customer Support Team is also reaching out via email to help!

Love this fragrance. I have used it in wax melts and most recently I blended it with sea salt & orchid in a 3-wick tumbler. Absolutely amazing….my new favorite scent.
