Black O Man

I really like this . Very fresh with good longevity. Maybe a little old school for some. Very masculine . Perfect gym scent.

I recently purchased Black O Man in al-rashad website, excellent price for this nice perfume. It smells very fresh, clean and soapy, like a classical italian cologne. It reminds me some of the Acqua di Parma line and Ferragamo's Acqua Essenziale Colonia. The oil roll-on version and the spray both are excellent, long lasting with moderate sillage. Very good choice for spring and summer although I think it's very versatile and maybe works in other seasons. I recommend it for sure.

This review is based on a 6ml oil roll-on and not the spray depicted here. I am usually into woody orientals; lots of oud and incense, but I bought this fragrance by accident and actually quite like it. It's not going to rock anybody's world, but it is really fresh, smart and clean and the woody musky base gives it a sophistication and seriousness that belie its oh-so-cheap price tag. This fragrance wouldn't offend anyone, could be used day or night.

Lavender and soapy aldehydes should appear in the notes- not sure how these could be missed. Anyway, aromatic fougere. Very '70s-'80s style, along the same lines as Polo Green/original ,Aramis, Halston 1-12, as well as Jannat al Firdaus. Green, very green, on a leathery-musky, oakmoss-laden base. Quite masculine and enchanting.

I'll add a brief review since there are only two so far. This is fairly different than what I was expecting. It's full of nutmeg and mint. I do get some hints of patchouli, which sort of reminds me Ungaro III. There are some floral undertones, but they're hard to discern. There's a lot of citrus, with the sourness of the lemon becoming more apparent after wearing it for a couple of hours (which is odd considering citrus notes don't usually last long),which nicely complements the nutmeg. I do get some cedar, but it's surprisingly not the pencil shaving sort. The musk adds some texture,but it isn't particularly dominant. Despite starting off smelling like shower gel, it's actually a pretty mature take on a citrus-spicy-woody scent. It's casual, but can easily fit well in dressed up settings. Longevity is splendid. 10+ hours Projects strongly at first, but sits closer to the skin after 2 or 3 hours.

I just got the perfume oil... And.. Nah i didn't like it.. Less than $6 on eBay so whatever.. Too old school.. I prefer freshy/citrus other oils like blac al rehab, silver al rehab.. Reminds me of a fresher Halston 1-12.. (with was one of my first cheapy) Very old school cologne citrus/musky/cedar nothing crazy.. I will give this one away to a friend/family *************6 hrs update *************** Me complaining that's too school? Well the bottle has a tuxedo on it of course is going to be classical Very linear.... And didn't last as long as other Arab perfume oils its now a skin scent but if i put my nose to it, it's still there. I guess I'll keep it as an evening work scent definitely for 30+ yrs old guy @jeremyn87 review is on point as far as the note break down but i don't get nutmeg

Very well made, this smells just like Pasha de Cartier but without the sweet tobacco note. Very 80's. The impression is spicy oakmoss and lavender, with a bright minty citrus top that makes the woodsy base smell like cedar, all supported by a very fresh musk that in this combination takes on a soapy vibe. Excellent value, I have worn Pasha for years as my standby fougere, and this may be replacing it, although I have to put it through the paces more on performance.

Both who bought oils didn't like it. We who bought sprays do.
