Man in Black
Man in Black by Bvlgari is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2014 in the designer price tier. It opens with rum and cinnamon, moves into leather, tuberose and iris and dries down to tonka bean, benzoin and guaiac wood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
