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.
