Bavaria Man Intense

Blend: 5/5 Uniqueness: 5/5 (Beautiful complexity, though it sits close to the skin) Perceived Quality: 4/5 I have known Man in Black for decades, but it always stayed on the blotter or my wishlist—it never went further than that. Today, Bavaria Man Intense feels much spicier than I remember Man in Black being back then. It is darker and drier, which I actually prefer. The notes of earthy orchid, black tea, white florals, warm balsam, powder, and faint leather stay close to the skin and do not project much. Sadly, what lingers in the air is only a common "classic spice" scent, alongside earthy patchouli and vetiver. If only I had realized sooner how dark this fragrance is. Today, I proudly introduce you to my new signature scent: Bavaria Man Intense.

I have both this fragrance and the BVLGARI MIB and this one is slightly sweeter. In my opinion it is 90% close/similar to MIB. It is very well done, the quality is good and for the price point I really under estimated it. Performance is also quiet good. This is one of those fragrance that go unnoticed yet they are very good.

A very acute clone of the Bvlgari Man in Black. The fragrance is very straightforward in its expression of tonka, pink pepper, tobacco, and amber. An elegent choice, but it will have more spice smell compared to the original Man in Black.

First whiff. Dark, warm, spicy leather. The time passes, the commanding presence turns into sensual, flowery sweetness. Perfume mastery, like the original, it tells a story, like all good perfumes do.

Nose Note #911 I don't know Man in Black, but it shares many many common traits with Spicebomb Extreme. Similarly sweet, the spicy accord is very similar, the subtle cherry vibe is also there, the tobacco note. Basically like a Spicebomb Extreme alternative, but not the simple Spicebomb. I don't like Spicebomb Extreme very much, it annoys me. The simple Spicebomb is great. Longevity is kind of average, but sillage is great at the start. Spicebomb is much stronger. For men only. 7/10, decent quality, it rivals the OGs

Just got it, smells pretty decent, but it feels very watered down and weak in depth and intensity and most importantly, it barely hasany longevity and no performance at all, extremely weak, i hope it will become stronger because right now, its not really usable. ill delay my rating and will update in a month or two if something changes, really hope so because as of right now, its one of the very very few perfumes i actually consider to be scented water. Update : it improved a bit after some time, still pretty weak, but scent wise, recently i got to smell the og, this is no less than 90% close. maybe just a touch bit spicier ? after like 5 minutes its 1 to 1
