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. Created by renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas, this fragrance manages to balance boldness and sophistication, combining warm and cool elements in an unexpectedly captivating composition. Performance Long-lasting: 6 to 8 hours on the skin Projection: Moderate in the first two hours Sillage (trail): Medium, elegant and non-invasive Use Occasions This fragrance is quite versatile, transitioning well between casual chic and evening encounters. 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.

I received this as a gift last Christmas. Since then I've been wearing this on and off - especially when I don't know what perfume to wear I reach out for this. It has been a like since the first time I smelled it, growing into a big love, I think. I'm not sure if I'd call it citrus or fresh, maybe a winter freshie. I'm quite impressed with the longevity on my skin, I still get whiffs after a full day at work and I can smell it on my clothes the next day. I've received a few compliments within the first hour of wearing this, so I'm not sure about how long and how far it projects, but it's such a nice fragrance that lasts for a long time (great for an edt) that I wouldn't mind moderate projection and sillage. So yes, it's definitely an unexpected growing love.

My favorite scent ever. Sad that it was discontinued and the other Man in Blacks are totally different (worse in my opinion). Every time I find a bottle I still buy, but now rare to find and only some people selling open flasks for 3x the price. I think there's a big component of how the perfume reacts to your skin and blends with your natural pheromones. Unfortunately, ot doesn't stay for too long, maybe 3 hours from close by. First ones I bought in 2016 seemed to last longer. I think this was discontinued in 2018. I have just found a similar frangrance (in my opinion), just some different notes. It's Yves Rocher Voile D'Ocre.

for the fans of man in black, this is wonderful addition in summer.i love the extreme, and this now.it takes out the pepper and leather which were dark, and one can rock this in summer days when its breezy,the rum note mixes wonderfully with citruses and florals like tuebrose and orange blossom, and it performs well on me.will work all year round.reviewed it just a while ago. id recommend this for college and up.can be your signature scent and formal scent. also can be used in spring and autumn, but if you have man in black it may seem familiar on the drydown, great frag none the less. 8/10

I truly feel bad for those who can’t smell this properly on their skin as this juice is godly. It is unequivocally one of the best, smoothest and most wonderful smelling fragrances I’ve yet to have the chance to smell. To me this is ideally for spring and summer and even fall. I could see it in winter but would rather it’s bigger stronger older brother MIB edp do his thing then. But if you wanna use it year round for whatever reason it can do it. This is absolutely blind but worthy if you like Mr. Morillas creations and know the notes. Just get some, you’ll love it!

This isn't a 'lighter' man in black. Not at all. It's a citrus floral with a light spice. Like the original man, the opening is a noisy bouquet of notes that settles very quickly into something just above a skin scent. A little disappointing in that respect; however, it's a tester strip sample, so longevity and projection may vary a little based on skin type. To my mind, it's slightly brighter YSL L'homme. The orange blossom is the dominant note in this frag, and it's projecting through well after a few hours.

Another awesome Bvlgari and Alberto Morillas masterpiece! Boozy, floral, amber, dark, spicy with a citrus hint. Cologne is a light version of Man in Black. It has the same lovely and dark vibe of the original but much more daytime and summer night. Cologne is perfect for spring and fall. It is difficult to choose which is better: cologne or original? Both are amazing! Good longevity 6-8 hrs Sillage is good, not strong but around 3 hours before become close to skin. It is easily one of my top 5 !

if you already have more than 10-12 fragrance in your collection ( the usual top hitters) then you need to look into this one! this is good. really good! actually can be used day or night, very versatile, hot or cooler weather, office or date. this works. and it last 8hrs easy. and definitely, you will not smell like the next person! give this a try if you see it! sample it. i love it, been wearing it since 2016! and I love it more today then i did in 2016! :D

This one is super underrated. It smells different depending on the season. In winter it smells similar to Chanel Allure Homme Sport EE + Man in Black. However, my preferred wearing is on summer nights. The rum accord lends to a night out and it manages to be sweet and seductive while being fresh at the same time and never gets cloying even on the muggiest of evenings. Glad I picked this up at chemist warehouse for $40 AUD when I did

High marks due to the uniqueness. Does anything else really smell like this? I mean, besides Bvlgari Man in Black. This one is arguably more versatile than Man in Black.. meaning I think it can be worn in warmer weather as well, not just cooler/colder weather like MiB. The tuberose with leathery freshness make this unique. I’m glad I added this to my collection and will include it in my office rotation. Recommended.

Bought this from Ross thinking it was Man in Black, but may be happier with what I got. This opens up with a sweet, flirty, metrosexual vibe with enough sillage to be noticeable but not intrusive. Where it shines, however, is the drydown. A couple hours in it fades to an irresistibly dark, masculine skin scent which will then last another 7 or so hours. For me, it's pretty much the perfect late night date fragrance.

Very heavy on the citrus on opening with not a lot of that rum, but very crisp and fresh. Floral notes start to sneak in and sit well and balanced. Dry down features one of my favorite woody/musky mixtures I've experienced. Very masculine, so that's something to keep in mind depending on outfits and environments. Overall an incredible fragrance that lasts a decently long time and turns heads.

I was skeptical about this "intense freshness and oriental sensuality" concept. However, it's actually there. Bulgari Man Black Cologne has a unique boozy-citrusy blend that works just finely. The result is a classy scent, creamy and fresh at the same time. It's quite versatile and a compliment magnet. Highly recommended, specially for office use. 9/10

This is a chic dark cologne. Underrated for sure. Very Elegant for nights out and fits so good if you are dressed up. It is unusual with the Citrus/rum/ floral combination. Another Original creation from the legendary Alberto Morillas. Average longevity and projection. Dont put high expectations and enjoy it given its cheap online price.

this and 'a fantastic scent very masculine .. not' a cologne for me .Dont expect a typical fresh citrus cologne .. It is fresh but less fresh of extreme version . I like it very much but the name is wrong for me iIs not a cologne!!!! it is a ligther version of the original men in black with same changes.... Very good... 9/10

On me this is a very different scent on clothes than skin. The citruses, green notes and the flowers is much more prominent on clothes, not much of amber and no rum what so ever. Maybe I can use this in the spring/summer if only spray on clothes and fall/winter time when sprayed on skin 🤔 A great scent, love it!
