The review
On paper, 385 is a reasonable bet if you want Black for less.
Blossom Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $34 per 100ml it costs 47% less than Black — the cheapest of 1 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 Blossom Perfumery 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
The original opens on rubber, bergamot and lapsang souchong tea, turns to rose, jasmine and cedar, and settles into vanilla, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief 385 is working from.

Base

- musk
Burnt rubber and smoky tea melting into vanilla; a 1998 oddity that still sounds like nothing else.
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 2 twins of Bvlgari Black we can price, 385 is the cheapest per 100ml.
