About This Perfume
Think dark rum, smoky tobacco, leather-leaning sweetness: that is Bvlgari Man In Black. It opens with rum and tobacco, moves into leather, orris absolute and tuberose and settles on gaiac wood, tonka bean and benzoin. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days. Released in 2014.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $64.
