Bvlgari Man In Black dates back to 2014, from Bulgari. Spices, rum and tobacco open the composition; leather, iris and tuberose share the heart; tonka bean, guaiac wood and benzoin form the base.
Warm, opulent spices open the top alongside rum, cinnamon-tinged and gingery, and tobacco, honeyed and almond-like: the warmth of the spices meets the honeyed sweetness of the tobacco.
Leather, smoky and tarry, sits alongside iris, powdery and buttery, and tuberose, waxy and creamy, in the heart. The smokiness of the leather contrasts with the buttery texture of the iris.
Tonka bean, toasted and caramelized, joins guaiac wood, balsamic and leathery, in the base. Benzoin, vanilla-like and toasted-almond, accompanies them: the toasted facet runs through all three materials.
