Bvlgari Man In Black Parfum

Bvlgari Man in Black Parfum is a spicy, woody and amber fragrance. It has a very spicy opening, the DNA of the original Man in Black is present, but this version is more intense in spices, it could be some pepper and cardamom, as well as some amber note, which gives it a dark sensation, like dark chocolate . A little later, floral notes appear that provide a little balance to the spices, slightly decreasing their intensity, until leaving a very pleasant and sensual wood base. In the same way as the original version of Man in Black, this is a fragrance aimed at cool or cold seasons, such as autumn and winter, for daytime use on cold days, but mainly for night use in formal, informal situations, evening parties. , weddings, graduations, or outings to concerts, as a couple, etc. The sillage promises good sensations during the first hour, but then drops abruptly to the skin level, although its longevity is not bad, it lasted on me for 9 to 10 hours. Of course, its retail price here in Mexico is expensive for a 100 ml bottle costs more than 200 dollars in a department store. For its aroma, it is worth it, it is one of the best of 2024 for me, especially for those of us who already know the original Man in Black, but for the price, not so much.

It opens with a rich, sweet, and spicy character, accompanied by a very subtle leather-like accord with a slightly animalic edge. Combined with the spices, it creates the impression of brown sugar slowly burning over hot embers on top of a piece of dark leather. In the background, there is a dry and woody quality, along with a texture that feels almost like sweetened sand. I would describe it as a very interesting and captivating powdery effect. The dark woods feel slightly bitter and dry, creating an excellent contrast that keeps the sweetness balanced and prevents the fragrance from becoming overwhelming. This fragrance feels especially suited for dates, important occasions, and even formal events where a suit is required. It is masculine, seductive, confident, and imposing. Although it is noticeably sweet, the bitter, woody, and spicy elements give it a strong sense of authority. Even then, it never becomes truly intimidating. Instead, it retains a warm, comforting, and inviting quality that makes it feel powerful without being aggressive.

What really makes this scent shine for me is the smoky, resinous vibe from the guaiac wood and benzoin or may be some notes of RUM. It’s got this lingering, almost addictive trail that feels classy and comforting but still has that mysterious edge. Honestly, it’s a nighttime gem—perfect for cooler weather or when you want to make a statement at a formal event. The projection is just right—not too loud, but definitely noticeable. Longevity is a win too; I get a solid 8 to 10 hours out of it, which makes it perfect for long nights. Some folks might say it’s similar to the original Man In Black, but I feel like it’s totally its own thing. This Parfum version is smoother and sweeter, with a refined touch that dials back the tobacco heaviness from the original. If you’re on the hunt for a signature scent that’s bold and sophisticated, I’d say give this one a shot. It’s honestly a masterpiece.

MIB Parfum does not project as well and has less silage than the Edp definitely. It's slightly less sweet than the Edp without the tonka, not so strong spices and I definitely didn't get the stronger tobacco and rum from the Edp, there's Abit of it together with the spices, toned down alot. It's pretty subdued but would still suit night and evening wear where you prefer it to have more intimacy. This adds the iris together with tuberose floras in and gives the Parfum it's edge for those who wants a less loud and easier to wear MIB with this parfum flanker. It's longetivity isn't as weak as some reviews says but it's pretty much a strong skin scent for some wearers who are used to loud heavy scents. You'll also get some vanilla in here due to the benzoin. I'll say it's a safer scent that's catered more to the masses who didn't quite like the Edp.

I actually think Man in Black Parfum is amazing. It smells like a mature version of Spicebomb with the sweetness dialed down and the woodiness cranked up. It is spicy and ambery, yet somewhat powdery and clean, instantly boosting its versatility for any occasion except summertime. I appreciate the Parfum’s relative simplicity and depth compared to the much vaunted EDP, which left me underwhelmed as I struggled to distinguish its multitude of facets. It is spicier, more powdery and longer-lasting than the EDP. Longevity for me was around 8 hours. As much as I like it, it is overpriced and I wouldn’t pay full retail.

Beautiful, a tiny bit lighter without the very prevalent booze notes from the original. Sweet and oriental, well blended. Really present Iris, it’s kind of like if Dior Homme Intense had a sweeter and more youthful cousin. Those complaining about the performance hasn’t let it sit for long enough. My couple day old bottle is a bit on the weaker side but the tester bottle at the department store was quite strong, which has been presumably sitting for a couple weeks to a month now. BTW this lasts forever on clothes and fabric, I sprayed some on a shirt last evening and can still smell it 24 hours later.

Disappointing release. This should not even be called Parfum. Spicy Skin Scent, that’s all. UPDATE: Upon revisiting this perfume after a few months, I find that my original opinion no longer holds as strongly as I initially believed. The fragrance seems to have macerated, and it now performs noticeably better than when I first tried it. It is undeniably beautiful, with a subtle yet unmistakable presence, and it has earned me numerous compliments. I suspect the maceration has positively enhanced its character.

It's quite close in composition to the EDP, but it's a bit spicier/richer and does have a touch of iris to differentiate it. I'm not sure why it's getting such a lot of reviews stating bad performance! I put this on at 6:30am this morning and it's now 12:47pm and it's still going strongly 💪🙂. If you already have the EDP, I'd strongly suggest testing this before buying as they are quite close. It's definitely a pleasant experience to wear it 🤗

First impression: LOVE LOVE LOVE it, love at the first sniff. I'm a girl and I WILL wear it 100%. Same with Bleu de Chanel. They are so sexy and masculine but my skin is what makes them work for me for some reason. I have blind bought all my Bvlgari bottles because they are nowhere to be found where I live and I have been impressed with all of them (this, red tea cologne and green tea cologne).

Smells beautiful but weak as f#¢k, reaplying it every 30 minutes. After period of maceration this still doesn't project, like at all, it's straight up skin scent from the moment you spray it. But worst of all is I tried to layer it with spicebomb and it made spicebomb stop projecting. This is perfect if you wanna hide from everyone including yourself you are wearing perfume

Such an underrated flanker. OG is quite dark, manly and bold. This is more balanced and nuanced. The floral notes, elemi and benzoin reduce the darkness and enrich the scent into more harmonious elegance.

The sexiest among other MIBs due to its floral twist. Lasting 8 hours straight with half-end skin scent in cold temp which is not bad at all. Probably the most underrated and overlooked release of 2024.

I like it better than edp. Smoother scent which makes it a bit more versatile. Although projection is softer in Parfum, sillage is better and longevity substantial better. 8 hours of longevity the least

Take original EDP and add a dark body to it. It still is good old MiB, don't know what others expected. I consider this to be a great improvement over the original since it seriously lacked body.

Definitely sweeter, not as strong, but a smoother version of OG.. it kind of reminds me of Azzaro The Most Wanted.. a bit amberwood drydown.. it ́s good. 8,5/10..

soooo good lovely gourmand aspect to it the notes come together perfectly to create such a nice scent 11/10

This is designer take on Herod. They smell really close.

Manly Earl Grey tea. 1 spoon of sugar. Class.

This is a darker cousin of Eau De Parfum. This has many similarities with the EDP but keeps the vibe to the skin. I would use this in a more sensual situation where intimacy is more important. EDP is still superior but this is a very versatile scent all together. It has a very prominent iris note. It is in fact the better version for me than Dior Homme Parfum which is vastly different than Intense because of that iris. This one is very hard to describe because it's direction is pointed at many but it is not bad. It's just darker, woody and smells generic (not in a bad way because it feels that the ingredients are very natural, doesn't cause headaches). The thing I miss here which I love in EDP is that watery feeling (aquatic vibe) that accompanies the strong overall sweet scent and makes it fresh as well as sweet. I have many fragnances, don't usually look at the ingredients, just vibes. So for me - generic and not worth it but if you really love EDP (as me), you might reach for this one to have it in the collection. Scent - 6/10 Price - 5/10 Versatility - 7/10 Intimate situations - 8/10 Longevity - 5/10 Sillage - 5/10 Skin scent, sweet, boozy, night out, night in ;), more boring than EDP but more mature and sensual. Overpriced but not that much compared to many others. Probably not a big compliment getter BUT if you are with the right person, they will compliment it. If you are choosing between EDP and P, go for EDP first.

I bought this because I heard it would make me look good at work, I won't lie this is such a professional scent lol it definitely fits meetings well, as a work scent maybe not all the time, definitely surprised me though! I had Bvlgari Wood essence and it was so bad... SO I decided to give this one a chance to reclaim the line for me, I think I am definitely satisfied! It is spicy, kinda tobacco-y and clean. which to me are major for work, meetings, or a cafe late at night. I think I would rate this high maybe an 8.9/10 really nice must scent imo... EXTREMeLY professional scent. Also I blind bought this; I do not regret it.
