Indore, India | 4 August 26 – Mysore Deep Perfumery House (MDPH), one of India’s top three agarbatti manufacturers and the company behind the iconic Zed Black brand, today announced the launch of Blunt Black, a premium Eau de Parfum (EDP) range, marking its strategic entry into the personal fragrance category. The launch reflects the company’s continued portfolio diversification as it expands beyond its strong legacy in agarbattis and pooja products into the fast-growing premium fragrance segment.
Drawing on over three decades of fragrance expertise, Blunt Black has been created for today’s confident, expressive and style-conscious consumers. The inaugural collection comprises four distinctive variants Dark Elixir, Neo Aura, Velvet Night and French Aqua crafted to suit diverse personalities, lifestyles and occasions, with Neo Aura specially designed to appeal to Gen Z consumers.

Blunt Black reflects our passion for perfumery, combining thoughtfully crafted Eau de Parfum formulations with contemporary fragrance profiles to deliver a premium experience that is both aspirational and accessible.”
The Blunt Black portfolio features four signature fragrances. Dark Elixir is a bold woody-spicy blend with notes of Pink Pepper, Citrus, Rose, Clove, Cinnamon, Cedarwood and Patchouli. Neo Aura combines Italian Mandarin, Pear Blossom and Red Berries with floral and warm woody accords to create a vibrant fragrance for Gen Z consumers. Velvet Night brings together Orange Blossom, Coffee, Vanilla and Cashmere Wood for an elegant gourmand profile, while French Aqua offers a refreshing aquatic fragrance with Citrus, Marine Notes, White Musk, Cedarwood and Oakmoss.
Available in sleek 30 ml Eau de Parfum bottles, the collection is priced at an MRP of ₹599 and will be introduced at a special introductory online price of ₹279 across leading e-commerce platforms, followed by a phased retail rollout across India.
