Man Black Cologne

Bvlgari Man Black Cologne Men EDT opens with a moderate projection of sweet, citrus, green, boozy, and floral notes. The opening is delectable, fresh, inviting, and very pleasant. The citrus and green notes combine their notes into a fresh, sweet, delectable accord that blends well with the rum note. The rum isn’t excessively strong, but rather well balanced with the citrus and green notes. The tuberose is more noticeable than the orange blossom, the tuberose brings an intense white floral, dense, sweet with green touches note, but it seats behind the citruses, green and rum notes; the orange blossoms a soft white floral touch that blends under the citruses. The sandalwood, amber, and benzoin create a sweet balsamic accord, it makes the fragrance denser and projecting but not to the point that loses its initial freshness; the musk isn’t noticeable. As the fragrance dries down, the citruses lose some of their opening sharpness under the balsamic and smoothing effect of the sandalwood, amber, and benzoin, and that is the most noticeable but subtle opening to dry-down change. Once Bvlgari Man Black Cologne Men EDT has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a sweet, resinous (benzoin), citrus, green, boozy, and white floral (tuberose) fragrance. The fragrance feels slightly boozy, casual, delectable, elegant, floral, formal, fruity/citrusy, gentle, green, inviting, masculine, modern, natural, nicely-blended, playful, resinous, refreshing, relaxing, sweet, versatile, woody, and very pleasant.

I'm not sure how this is similar to Man in Black other than their name similarity - I suppose they share that nice, boozy note (though opening with a strong citrus in this case), but the other notes make this one much, much closer to original Bvlgari Man, their primary difference being that same boozy citrus accord. I'm also not sure why some are calling this sweet. I know sweet, I like sweet a lot of the time, and this would only seem sweet when compared to some of the drier stuff out there, like classic tart chypres, leather bombs, or dry summer aquatics. Among its contemporary men's releases this is actually on the dry side. A little floral help from the tuberose, but not what I'd call sweet - the drydown is slightly powdery but still primarily the woods and aromatics. For my money, this is still spectacular for the spring/summer - it's flexible enough for all-day use, formal or casual, but it could also serve very well as the evening, after-work pairing following a daytime application of original Bvlgari Man. It has a touch of Iso-e-super, or something close, that gives the woods that cool, airy lift throughout, most detectable after that nice rum note calms down. I definitely agree with those who find this similar to BDC, close the the EDT once they've both dried down.

Launched in 2016, Bvlgari Man Black Cologne is a fresher, brighter reinterpretation of the original Man in Black.

It can be safely used at: Late afternoon social events Romantic dinners Professional use (in moderation) Mild to warm climates (great for mid-season and summer nights) It is a niche fragrance within the mainstream – it is not for everyone, but those who identify with it will hardly abandon it. Final Score: 9.6/ 10 Bvlgari Man Black Cologne is a perfume for the modern man who is not afraid to stand out with class. It proposes a play between warm and cold, floral and woody, resulting in a unique, sophisticated and memorable fragrance. Ideal for those who want to escape the obvious, but still maintain an elegant and seductive touch.

I've owned this for about 6 months, and suddenly it hit me what this is. Take the original Man In Black dna, and throw Chanel Allure Home Sport Eau Extreme over the top. However, just don't expect it to be as long lasting. True to Bvlgari trends of late, they've taken something massively popular to stay modern, and put their own spin on it, adding some of their brand touches of elegance, masculinity, and subtlety. It may be easy to judge some of their newer releases, due to their lack of originality. But as a company, they have been around since 1884, catering to the world's richest with high luxury. So they must have some idea of what they are doing in the long-run. I think, when dealing with the world's richest for so long, they get a taste of what they really want and don't want, compared to a fragrance brand that makes most of it's money off of selling $80 teenager fragrances. to each, their own though, in the fragrance industry.

As said below, this is a fresher version of Man in Black. The leather was replaced with woody green notes, and there is a bit less spice, which is replaced by just a hint of citrus. Very, very small amount of powder in the dry-down. To me this is what Bvlgari Man Wood Essence should have smelled like. It is a spicy freshie, and a very pleasing masculine scent. I wear this to church and to the office weekly. It sits very close to the skin after about 30 minutes and lasts about 5 hours. It would probably be my signature fragrance if it lasted longer and projected just a bit better. Very safe and versatile year round fragrance for a 30+ man, and a safe gift for someone who can't have heavy projection at work, doesn't wear fragrances often, or who simply likes to smell nice without making a bold statement.
