The review
Empower scores 4.8 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Bvlgari Man in Black.
AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bvlgari Man in Black's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $69 per 100ml it costs 34% less than Bvlgari Man in Black — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Bvlgari Man in Black is rum and spices at first, leather, tuberose and iris at its heart and Tonka Bean, benzoin and guaiac wood at the end. AromaPassions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

- tuberose
- iris
Base
- Tonka Bean
- benzoin
- guaiac wood
Spiced rum poured over leather and tuberose; the loud, magnetic centrepiece of the Bvlgari men's line.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Bvlgari Man in Black we can price, Empower is the cheapest per 100ml.
