The Story
So Black was Gap's bold entry into the fragrance world, a dark and spicy scent that stood out from the crowd. It opens with a burst of black pepper and bergamot, then settles into a warm, leathery heart with hints of violet. The base is a smoky blend of vetiver, musk, and incense. It's a confident, edgy fragrance that still feels modern today.
