ABOUT THE BRAND

Blackcliff

BLACKCLIFF began at dusk with a roar of the ocean, launching sea spray over the cliff that creator Tomilson Bynoe calls home. Inspired by the natural soundscape: animalic, flora and fauna, and surf gently thrusting against rock and soil -  the orchestra of Caribbean life. He sought to tell the story of earth’s natural architecture through sensual and provocative notes. For him, fragrance elevates perception and has the power to transform the ordinary.

BLACKCLIFF Parfums harmonise the elements of fruits, spices, herbs and woody undertones into versatile, voluptuous elixirs. Each scent represents a defining moment and exudes bold design inspired by Barbados’ abundant raw natural beauty. 

Native Barbadian Tomilson Bynoe has been passionate about perfume since adolescence, when the profound impact which fragrance exercises upon one's personal perception became fully apparent.

Tomilson's background in retail spans eighteen years and serves him well as Creative Director and Founder of Blackcliff. He is fueled by his zeal in the pursuit of beauty and excellence.

Welcome to Blackcliff Parfums, Tomilson's unique inspired fragrant vision.

Gourmand

Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
