by Bvlgari
Bvlgari Black is a bold, unisex fragrance defined by its distinctive rubbery leather opening, which evokes fresh tires and industrial spaces. This initial accord, layered with green tea and citrus notes, quickly softens into a warm, powdery vanilla base with subtle amber and musk, producing a sensual, almost smoky effect. The aroma shifts from a sharp, urban-inspired start to a lush, creamy dry-down that feels both intimate and quietly confident. Its performance is moderate—longevity is ample, but projection is close to the skin, lending it a personal, discreet character suited for evening wear or colder seasons. The scent balances sharpness with softness, making it accessible yet provocative. While some find the rubber note overwhelming or off-putting, many describe it as remarkably unique, refined, and true to modern scent aesthetics. Again, it’s best experienced on the skin to fully appreciate the evolution of its notes. Its iconic, tire-shaped bottle and evocative profile make it a cult classic, though not universally appealing.
