Black Soul

This is so great. BLACK SOUL (TL) definitely deserves the 'black' in it's name. It's a dark & smooth sweet/liquore/mint styled scent. This one and BLACK EXTREME POUR HOMME (TL) feel like cousins... Not the same smell, but are playing in the same scent area. Definitely check one out if you like the other. The opening has a very subtle liquorice opening (not as prominent as BLUE SUGAR, thank god!), with a nice resin/mint added. Dries to more of the same. It comes in a beautiful black & silver metal cannister, which reveals a high-quality and expensive flask. One of the most classy packages I've come across. Both BLACK SOUL (TL) and BLACK EXTREME POUR HOMME (TL) are two of my absolute favorite dark evening scents. --------------------------------------------- SILLAGE: perfect LONGEVITY: very good SCENT: excellent BOTTLE: excellent! (High class) VALUE FOR MONEY: good OVERALL: 9/10 --------------------------------------------- NOTE: This smells nothing like BLACK SOUL EMPERIAL (TL), which I can't bear... so don't be scared off if that one made you gag. This one is mint/liquore-cool.

This is a gorgeous deep, dark and refined fragrance. Great for the night/cold weather. It's an "Encre Noir type of perfume - " to love or hate, nothing in between". I love it, my wife hates it. For me it's an absolute masterpiece. Upon initial spray, it comes on quite strong. It's a sharp scent of smoky wood, resins, cinnamon and a hint of mint. After the opening the manly "atitude" remains but it becomes a more civilized frag, just a bit sweeter and letting you detect a very nice musk and a hint of exotic flowers. By now you may detect a vibe of 1 Million Intense - as some other reviewers stated - but more complex and agreeable. In terms of longevity it's not a beast but it is quite above average. This Cologne smells expensive and charismatic. It is indeed a very nice juice and one of a kind. It does not pretend to clone anything and I like it that way with its proper individuality. My rates Scent:9.0 Longevity:7 Sillage:6.5 Unique:8.5 Quality:8.5 Overall rating: 8.0 I love this frag. I like it a lot more than the "imperial" version.

this is a phenomenal scent with a nice rich masculine feel and really does a GREAT job with good sillage and a really nice aroma the drydown is less sweet than one million and instead it becomes richer and has drier woods and more masculine ingredients than one million (one million smells nice in top and middle notes and then just gets sweet and unisex) this one adds medjul dates and raisins in the middle notes and the camphorwood and drier spices give it a rich aromatic feel and make it MUCH better and it lasts a good 8 hours and projects nicely so the power of the scent is just right this is something you WILL like if u buy blind it will make u want to throw away everything else u own

This is so unique! This is weird but in a good way! To me this smells like how a black jellybean would taste or maybe black licorice with like a creamy edge to it. I was looking for something different and I found it! I like this one much better than the Imperial version. The unique factor for me is a 10/10 easily. This smells how the color Black would smell if you think about it. It smells like a dark room or a dark shadow. This smells gothic, or like a stormy night. I've smelled hundreds of fragrances and this is way different from many others I've tried. This is really good! I give this a 95/100.

I love this juice. Smell is deep, somewhat dark and so refined. Just a great winter, spring, fall scent or nighttime scent. The mix of Cinnamon, cedar, resin and musk is so deep and layered, absolute masterpiece. I like Black Soul a little more than Black Soul Imperial, although they smell very similar, Imperial is a slightly lighter version. Upon initial spray, it comes on quite strong. If you like only light citrus scents, this one is probably not for you. One thing this Cologne doesn't smell is cheap. Very nice juice here......... Scent:8.5 Longevity:6 Sillage:6 Unique:8 Quality:8

I can certainly see how Black soul may polarize opinions. If however you are one of those lucky enough to love this fragrance , then you will enjoy this scent for ages. Mugler Pure Havane was the reference point for gourmand winter scents by me in the past. Now, after wearing Black Soul for a few days, its safe to say there is a new king on the throne. What gives Black Soul the edge is a hard to define element in the drydown that makes for a uniquely pleasing and unusual effect. Well rounded, dynamic, always interesting and a bargain at todays prices. Good stuff ! 8.75/10

Es una locura de lo rico que es este perfume. Yo le compre a mi esposo por nuestro aniversario, y yo sabia que le gustaban los perfumes amaderados, ese era su estilo, y la perfumista me recomendó por la fijacion que tiene. La verdad es muy elegante y dura muchisimo en la persona y en la ropa. No es muy conocido, entonces no es muy comun que los hombres huelan a Ted Lapidus, y se puede destacar dentro del monton.- Ya van 2 frascos que le compré, y solo lo utiliza en ocasiones especiales. Yo como mujer estoy enamorada de este perfume.

Sweet. Dark. Spicy Cinnamon. Like PR - $1m?.....err no. This is however more similar to Police Wings for men (not the earlier flanker - Silver Wings) another nice sweet, dark, Cinnamon scent. I prefer Black Soul though as it is darker, a little more complex and lasts a little longer than Wings. In it's own right I don't find myself reaching for Black Soul over my other daytime Autumn/Winter scents but my wife always compliments me when I wear Black Soul as do female colleagues at work (varying ages 25-35'ish).

I've got both versions of Black Soul (BS and BS Imperial)and love them both. This one is little bit lighter, than Imperial, and seems to me, better. Similiar to 1 Million, but more herbal and spicy. Longevity is rather shorter than 1Million, but still very good (about 8 hours on my skin). My rate - 4/5... Overall - very good stuff.

کار بسیار شیک و مردانه ای میباشد دوام و پخش مناسبی هم دارد شیک جذاب مردانه گرم و شیرین با مقداری تلخی کلاسک خیلی ها حتما آنرا خواهند پسندید از رایحه اش خیلی لذت بردم و خانمها نیز معمولا رایحه اش را پسندیده و آنرا خیلی خوشبو توصیف میکنند very good

if u like dirty english and the drier types of smell this is a good buy too. this starts out sweet and similar to dirty english but they both have a very smoky rich type of smell in the drydown

One of the real deals. Very multi-faceted. Be careful when wearing it in hot climate, though. The tea note can get overpowering in a stale way.

Love this perfume. one of my favourites. 9.5/10

**blind buy.. and its awfull right off the bottle , there's just something that makes you me think " who would wear this ??" so I wouldnt recommend you smell the nozzle as an indication to what this fragrance is all about. When you spray it , there is no sign of that horid lurking outter bottle smell. Instead theres a powerfull and un-usual scent. Very minty, Not entirely a bad scent which gets better "easier" to capture each element as time goes on and you find yourself trying to smell deeper and longer to discover all the hidden scents oozing off your skin. I think its the hebal effect of the Tolu :D After 30 mins youre left with a very woodsie, Minty ( not fresh mint, but rather a dirty,heavy mint), very rich spicy, warm, definatley masculine aroma. I think the cinnamon plays a big role in carrying the mint into the more woody musky scents & masks them well. After a good hour if you smell your skin , that-there is the Masterpiece of this fragrance !!! The saffron, teroli and lemon blossom pick this deep and heavy scent up a notch to a very pleasing day dreamy almost fresher level, if only for a moment and then its gone !! overpowered by the musk & wood. This is a great & complex frangrance with many elements that weirdly work together.Well done to the nose of Alexandra Carlin I can picture this frangrance on other people, but not on me . Its just too murky and dark , maybe thats why its called BLACK SOUL !!! will keep a bottle in the colection just because its so interesting at a low price

It took me 8 months to start appreciating this perfume. I bought it during summer, and back then, all I could smell was something that reminds me of urine. The full bottle went to the declutter box. Only now it opened - or my mind expanded, lol - to perceive the beauty of this fragrance: a brief 1 million vibe with the first spray, the cinnamon/cardamom duo, the cedar with the resins that give this lasting amber feel with the musk. 8 months. Hang in there, it can still surprise you.

Obviously a 1 Million clone. The most striking differences are Black Soul's chewing gum top note and a minty-spicy, less sweet undercurrent. If you like 1 Million, but don't want to smell exactly like all the other 999.999 guys who wears it, Black Soul is a great and inexpensive alternative. It is more fun and I like it better than the "original". Perfect for a night out among the younger crowd.

The original BlackSoul is a nice fragrance,very oriental,with an huge opening that last a little bit(is a sweet combo of cinnamon,mint,saffron,cardamom),to settle in this resinous state that lasts a bit(6-7 hours)and give a sexy smell around you,i don't find it so dark,the flanker is much better.

It's fine so it does smell good but not anything crazy though, I'll put it like this I have it but I don't usually use it in fact I received it as a gift a while back and before I was into fragrances so I used it from time to time seeing as it was there so to speak.

Ten hours in ashram - that would be a proper name for this scent :-) To me it seems that the regular Lapidus pour homme is a better choice than this, although - Black Soul smells to me like Nag Champa incense sticks, which I love!

I like this juice. A pleasant woody, slightly minty and spicy fragrance. Longevity is good. The dry-down reminds me of Altamir (which is the nicer fragrance) This is nothing really outstanding. It's OK.
