Black Agent presents a dark, warm, and softly seductive profile that draws heavily from the signature elements of Bvlgari Man in Black but with a more restrained and intimate character. It opens with a bright, citrus-tinged vetiver and a peppery bergamot, followed by a subtle but distinct woody and smoky base that evolves into a rich interplay of incense, clove, tonka, and musk, creating a deeply cozy and masculine scent. While some note a faint rubbery or rubber-like aroma in the first hour, this typically fades into a more refined and pleasant drydown. Its defining trait is its softness—both in projection and longevity—which makes it ideal for close encounters, evening wear, and colder seasons. It’s especially praised for its affordability and its ability to serve as a versatile base layer to complement other fragrances.
