Scent profiles of the picks
For Bvlgari Man In Black (Eau de Parfum, 2014), expect dark rum, smoky tobacco and leather-leaning sweetness: rum and tobacco up top, gaiac wood, tonka bean and benzoin underneath. Bvlgari Black (Eau de Parfum, 1998) comes across as smoky leather jacket, green tea and cedar warmth, with green tea and bergamot at the start and leather, vanilla and amber at the base. Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc (2003) reads as fresh white tea, peppery florals and bergamot breeze, opening on tea and artemisia and drying down to musk, jasmine and amber.
