The review
Worth a try. That is where Black lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black.
Palermo Perfumes 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.
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 Palermo Perfumes 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
What it is chasing: rubber, bergamot and lapsang souchong tea up top, rose, jasmine and cedar in the middle, vanilla, sandalwood and musk underneath — the shape of Bvlgari Black.
Top
- rubber
- bergamot
- lapsang souchong tea
Heart
- rose
- jasmine
- cedar
Base
- vanilla
- sandalwood
- 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.
