Black Agent

Strong woody/peppery quality at first, then it recedes and it's more of a blend, but you get a sense of several of the notes individually and it doesn't smell synthetic. Unlike some other reviewers, I don't get Bvlgari Black (vanilla and rubber tire), nor Fan Di Fendi Assoluto, nor Gucci Pour Homme 1, nor a tea note. Even the rose is barely noticeable, but the tuberose does a good job of imparting a unique quality without going into that suntan lotion direction I dislike. I used two full sprays to the chest and kept my shirt open; the projection drops off a lot after a short while but the longevity seems at least good (I'll update if that changes). For about $15 for 100 ml NIB, I'd say it won't be easy to do better if this is the kind of composition you seek. Note that I haven't tried Bvlgari Man in Black, but I have tried the Oriental flanker, and that one is woodier/spicier and has considerably stronger projection (less floral too). UPDATE: The weakness of this scent is its weakness. After no more than perhaps two hours there is barely anything, though what remains does smell good. So, since I do like the scent, I think I can just go ahead and continue to spray every couple hours, but it is disappointing that they would make such a weak scent - why not just add a bit more tonka or some other cheap base note? I might also layer this with Bvlgari Man in Black Oriental Edition and see what that's like.

I love this scent!!!I got many compliments in the past,the only letdown that is not so strong,but who cares,it is for close encounters.........(ok i know that it is a really colse smell to Bvlgari Man in Black,but for 1/6 of the price,it is wonderful)Smoke,a very tamed rose,a touch of sweet and some earthiness=Heaven for my senses!!

Similar to Gucci Homme 1 2003 but a bit darker, Bentley Absolute with less Oud and Man in Black with a bit of Oud. Its not far from those three fragrances and to be in the middle of them, it surely is a a very nice place to be. It's way underrated and keeps a very low price. Today I bought my 3d bottle for €15.00. Hiper recommended!

Incredible nice perfume. Dark deep , warm, not too sweet , intense, but diffusses not too laud. Incenses, oud, amber, labdanum, vetiver create an elegant chord. Soft sweetness comes from cloves, rose and tonka beens and combines with a smoky bitter oud, cedar wood ...for me close to Ralph Laurent POLO SUPREME OUD🍁

On top of the tea notes, I also detect some rubber, which reminds me a little of Bvlgari Black. This latter note is most prominent in the first hour. A fine fragrance worth trying out in its own right.
