Bvlgari Man in Black Eau de Parfum

Man in Black Eau de Parfum is the 2014 Eau de Parfum for men by Bvlgari, credited by Parfumo to Alberto Morillas. It is a warm, spicy-woody oriental built on boozy rum and tobacco, a leathery heart lifted by orris and tuberose, and a resinous base of gaiac wood, tonka bean and benzoin.

What does Man in Black Eau de Parfum smell like?

It opens with rich rum and tobacco, boozy and slightly sweet, setting a warm and confident tone.

The heart is leathery, softened by powdery orris and a creamy touch of tuberose, which make it smoother than its name suggests.

The base combines smoky gaiac wood with tonka bean and benzoin: resinous, sweet and long-lasting.
