Bvlgari Man In Black

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on spices, rum and tobacco, moves through leather, iris and tuberose, and settles on tonka bean, guaiac wood and benzoin.

• spices: a general spiciness rather than any one spice
• rum: boozy and sweet, with caramel warmth

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
