A fleeting (and synthetic) rubber and vanilla scent, which is something I certainly do not care for.

Great bottle concept, though...

I can picture Darth Vader wearing this one! Unisex? This may be Bvlgari's most masculine cologne. It's certainly its best. Though I can also picture Mrs. Emma Peel wearing it, as she counsels Steed to always keep his bowler on in times of stress and watch out for diabolical masterminds. . .

The opening blast can be a little over-powering to some, but given time to settle, I get past the rubbery feel there is to it. It settles nicely into something less bitter and much sweeter, with the smokiness and woodsiness lingering. A strong scent that I find is more masculine than other-wise. Has a bit of an "aoud" feel to it.

A new love! That quick slap of burning rubber rocks us back. Smoky black tea promises to keep us up and in tune all night. Yes, the acrid rubber and the black tea drift off soon enough, leaving behind a generic vanilla coziness. So what - isn't love just like that? We're hooked by the torching tires, even if we're dead certain it'll simmer down to virtuous vanilla all too soon. But we plunge right in, don't we? Bring on the flames, again and again and again.

Two words that Turin/Sanchez should have used: VANILLA DOMINATRIX.

Rubber, vanilla, leather, gasoline. This. Is. Bulgari. Black!

I didn't find this edgy at all. Rather, an average musky, leathery vanilla that has good sillage and good lasting power. A friend of mine wears this and it is very distinctive on him, though until I tried it, I didn't know what he wore. Good on him, not for me though.
