What does Bvlgari Black smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though leisure and daily wear get a fair share too. Most voters read it as masculine, but a good number call it feminine.
It opens with bergamot and green tea for a light freshness. In the heart, sandalwood, cedar and jasmine build a woody ground. Amber, musk, vanilla and leather dominate the base, and the scent turns sweeter, settling into a powdery, resinous warmth. QueenB Gray Oud and Azya Jalua have a close profile.
