Black Panther
by Alexandria Fragrances
Black Panther by Alexandria Fragrances is a bold, fresh, and highly performant masculine fragrance that closely mimics Bvlgari Tygar, differing mainly in the opening. It opens with a vibrant, slightly synthetic grapefruit that delivers a sharp, citrusy burst — more like a cleaner than a fruit, with some sweetness from the ambroxan base. The scent remains linear and intense throughout, transitioning smoothly into a woody, musky, and ambroxan-heavy drydown that feels modern and clean. Most users find it exceptionally well-executed, with excellent longevity and moderate-to-strong sillage, making it ideal for warm weather and day-to-night wear. Though some note that the grapefruit fades quickly, the lasting ambroxan presence maintains a clean, sensual character. Many users report improved performance after maceration, with deeper depth and smoother blending, even though it's not always necessary. The fragrance is praised as a premium dupe for Tygar, offering striking similarity with superior performance and unmatched value.
