From your scent profile
Bvlgari Man In Black is a masculine scent that opens on rum and tobacco, then sets leather and wood against a smoky sweetness, best suited to fall and winter evenings.
Skunky's take: Something sweet in here, my nose went straight to the bakery.

What does Bvlgari Man In Black smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings or nights out; summer and the office are chosen far less. It mostly reads as masculine and classic.
Rum and tobacco lead, and the heart deepens with tuberose, leather and orris absolute. The base of benzoin, gaiac wood and tonka bean leaves a sweet, gourmand, smoky warmth, with spicy, woody and oriental accords carrying the weight.
