Black
Bvlgari Black has been doing this since 1998, and nobody has done rubber better since.
How it moves
Rubber, bergamot and lapsang souchong tea hit first, the way an opening line should. By the half hour it has become rose, jasmine and cedar. The base is vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
Who made it
Annick Menardo composed it in 1998, for Bvlgari in Italy. Annick Menardo's Black is a rubber, lapsang tea and vanilla composition housed in a tyre-shaped bottle, a genuine cult object and one of the most original mainstream releases of the 90s.
