WoodyWhat does Bvlgari Man Black Cologne smell like?
Citrus notes and rum come first, then tuberose and neroli add a soft floral touch. Sandalwood and benzoin sweeten the base and leave a woody backdrop. The overall impression is fresh, citrusy and mildly spicy.
Both longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend spring, fall and summer, while winter picks are few. It suits daily wear, leisure and the office about equally, and evening or night out less so. More than half of voters call it masculine, and some find it modern. Zara Metallic Spirit and Rituals L'Éclat have a close profile.
