Faithful to Formula Cologne
Citrus at the beginning with touch of rum. This lasts 1 hour. In the heart there ara a blended of amber floral that it is the principal charactheristics of the scents. Ideal to forma event with moderate hot, It is not a summer scent. Better autumn. The performance it's better than original 5 or six hors with sillage medium. it is not amazing, if you don't want draw attention an be elegant and male home it is a nice election.

The EdT what would rather be a cologne
That's how you could interpret this fragrance, because despite the name Bvlgari Man Black Cologne, it's officially an eau de toilette. Why is that done? Possibly to suggest more freshness or effervescence.

In the Endergbnis one receives a Bvulgari, which initially somewhat kuddelmuddelig but powerfully with citrus and spicy nuances bumped, but in the later course more orderly and far more well-groomed, but for some levels quieter shines. What one rausschnuppert would be halt unobtrusive lemons and a mixture of slightly rumgetränkt woods and some tuberose.

Fresh? Yes, but with a slight inclination to warmer climes and thus quite ideal for autumn than for summer or spring. Only who halt on more intense sillage and durability, will probably be surprised. Would also be no surprise in an actual cologne. At least you have to lead credit that you do not get something stronger vorgegaukelt.

However, I find that Bvlgari Man Black Cologne wants too much at once (fresh, exotic, spicy, warm), but nothing really convincing gets there.

Great refreshment of a beautiful fragrance
Even if Bvlgari gets away here rather moderately: One of my favourite brands. So far I have never tested one of this house that I did not like. My favourite is of course the Aqva series, but the Bvlgari-Man series is also a great series. I got the original Man first and then the father of the sub-series Man in Black. Due to the great success there are several flankers of this sub-series. So far I have only tested this cologne, which I really liked and I finally bought it a few days ago. In the Internet not so easy to find, because it is often out of print or maybe even discontinued. Fortunately I found a copy for 50 Euro/100ml.
Before it goes to this Flanker a few words about the Man in Black: It is a fragrance that is an enrichment for the collection. Similar to this Flanker a fragrance with strong boozy rum note and very masculine yet sensual with gentle nuances. For the evening on colder days a super fragrance.

Now to the Black Cologne: This is clearly a refreshment without too much change as with many other well-known Summer/Sport/Cologne/Fresh/Aqua flankers. The DNA of the original is always present and the fragrance is very much based on it. I like such refreshments of heavier scents, because you get a unique scent for warmer days. Here Alberto Morillas has thrown a great lighter variant on the market. Predestined for mild and warm days, but also for people who like to wear fresher fragrances. When you think of Cologne, you usually think of totally light fresh citric fragrances. That's not the case here. Nevertheless this is to be carried well with temperatures up to approx. 25 degrees. Thanks to the boozy note also very good for summer evenings or nights.
As a brief description of the fragrance, one can say here that one gets boozy rum here, refreshed with citric and slightly floral notes. As I said: Very close to the original, here more gentle. This freshness chosen here fits perfectly to the Man-In-Black-DNA. Where the original is very masculine, the creation is much softer and less conspicuous. Nevertheless he convinces with a lot of uniqueness. Also the Dry-Down is very good with lots of sandalwood. Also a pleasant not too sticky sweetness is active. All in all a very round and pleasant composition for me.
Performance is similar to the original: No Champions League but convincing, especially for a Cologne concept. He definitely lasts a few hours and that with good Sillage.

For me the best in the Man series so far. Especially since it can be used in many ways thanks to its freshness. Also in everyday life despite the rum note. If you like the original, you should test it as well. A great choice especially for summer evenings.

Very good balanced everyday fragrance!

I have to take up another lance for this scent,
which I have worn for the last 1 1/2 years at least during the day
(even if maybe rum makes you think of evening?).

Mr. Morillas has done everything right for my taste ( almost ).
Beautiful variable fresh citric entry underlaid with the rum note
and still enough warmth through sandalwood and other notes.
Not too intrusive and suitable for all seasons,
no "Aqua..." and no candy water, but also no statement scent.

Only the limited silage and durability set him limits,
so it can be for big going out or very long working days then also times
be something else...

it is no a fresh scent per se. Begin fresh and floral and it turned resinous and caramel, without losing a fresh touch. Good for autumn.

Its actually what it says. A fresher version of the OG. Its still not "fresh" and still sweet - more like a lemon twist in your rum
