Man In Black
Bvlgari Man In Black opens on rum, which is a startling way to begin a fragrance and sets the tone for everything after it. Tobacco sits beside it, dry and leafy, and between them the first minutes are boozy and dark rather than fresh.
Leather follows, and with it something unexpected: iris and tuberose. Putting a powdery flower and a white floral into a leather accord is not an obvious decision, and it is what keeps this from being another heavy masculine. The tuberose adds a creaminess that softens the leather's edge.
Tonka bean, benzoin and guaiac wood finish it, sweet and resinous and slightly smoky, carrying the rum idea all the way to the end.
How Man In Black wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately, which is the right balance for something this rich. Cold weather and evenings suit it best, and it is a deliberate fragrance rather than a background one.
Bvlgari Man In Black Eau de Parfum, 100ml, created by Alberto Morillas in 2014 for Bvlgari, the Roman jeweller founded in 1884.
