No, just no. This is a woman's perfume. It's so super sweet and effeminate smelling that I can't help but wonder if what I have is actually cologne
Leather? There's no leather notes in this. Rum? There's no rum It's powdery Iris and nothing but powdery Iris. This is a great scent for a grandmother in her 60's.
Well I find the original Bvlgari Man pretty average, in fact I'd go as far to say I don't like it so I was hoping this would be a total departure...and thankfully it is. I won't get too carried away though because Bvlgari Man in Black is not the dark, brooding juice the flacon would suggest...a notion I posited with the Sales assistant. "Not very dark or Black is it? slightly misleading wouldn't you say?" She just kinda looked at me blankly. Okay...moving on. Man in Black is just on the right side of interesting but quite feminine in that it has a soft, exotic opening which is slightly boozy, soft powdery suede and benzoin. It's a pleasant oriental fragrance, warm and well balanced with a tonka bean dry down. I've been critical of that in recent designer perfume releases but in the correct context it's good. A bit more spice wouldn't go a miss and make it a bit bolder and more masculine but I can't knock it, at least Man in Black doesn't smell cheap. Silage and longevity are low...not bad, but not something I'm crying out to wear.
