A Woody Smoked fragrance. The bottle is rounded and designed to fit the hand. A combination of metal, glass and rubber. Like most of the Bulgari fragrances, it contains a tea note.

   |  Because of the review in "The Guide", I avoided this one until curiosity got the better of me. This is a very soft oriental in spite of the rubber (tea?) notes that remain throughout the progression. After the initial rubber smell (this is NOT unpleasant), the fragrance turns to a light, sweet, slightly cinnamon jasmine which quickly morphs into a musky vanilla. I need to try this in summer, because I find the notes are almost too soft, and the sillage & longevity are minimal. This is seductive in a very nice, pretty way. I can see this as unisex fragrance in spite of that pretty softness. However, I don't see this as one of the "greats".17 October 2009 |
   | 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 (from the vanilla), with the smokiness and woodsiness lingering mildly. A strong scent that I find is more masculine than other-wise. 26 August 2009 |
  | Smells incensey in the top notes, then turns into tar and tires, then turns into a vanillic musk. Bulgari Black suceeds in what CdG Tar was attempting: turning roadwork into a wearable fragrance. Surprisingly delightful, and I love that bottle! 04 August 2009 |
  | Pretty much just as what others have described. A hint of rubber, tea, vanilla and musk. No more, no less, not bad. 02 July 2009 |
  | The first 20 min. I get jasmine, and mudcakes, shoved into black rubber balloon. Very unique. I couldn't keep my wrist from my nose. Once it settles i get a more 'smokin' wood and vanilla' but i can still smell that black balloon lingering... Highly enjoyable and 'fun' but not an everyday scent. 01 July 2009 |
  |  A fleeting (and synthetic) rubber and vanilla scent, which is something I certainly do not care for.Great bottle concept, though... [Original submission date: 29 December 2007] 27 June 2009 |
