Silver Black / Onyx (2005)
by Azzaro

This is great. It is sharp a bit, a bit soapy, yes. Very evening scent. Should be worn with darker attire, good for a suit as well. Masculine, no room for women to wear it. New age old school I'd say about this scent. One spritz on a warmer weather, 2-3 in colder weather. Doesn't strike me as winter, goes perfect in autumn.

I have both the original Azzaro and Silver Black. Both fragrances are outstanding, to me the apple gives Silver Black an added richness and combined with the wood and musk make it a really nicely balanced fragrance. Once it dries there's nothing that really jumps out and attacks you, but it's far from bland. For the moment at least, I prefer it to the original.

Potent, husky, cheap-smelling. This staunch stench sticks in your throat and may induce sneezing. It smells of committed bachelors, of tipsy flirting in a hotel bar, of torrid one-night stands with hot, vain women.

im sorry but it is so close to the smell of toothpaste or something .....the smell itself is not bad but i wont think of wearing it .....

It's a really nice smell but it needs time to develope it's best. Starting with fruity notes that reminds me polo black and mango and then after 2 hours, it settles down to a very distinctive masculine note that lasts for hours. As time goes by, the better it gets. I put it on my skin yesterday at 18:30 and now is 09:50 in the morning and it still smells in a way that no other perfume lasts so long giving you a fantastic scent that you can't stop smelling.
A very good job by Francoise Caron privided that you will give to the perfume the time it needs to get out it's best.
Yogether with Egoiste Platinum and Rive guache pour homme, it will be my classic although I was relactant to by it right away from the begining as it gave me a note from Polo black which I bored it very quicly.
Recommended for ages of 30-45.

What I get is a sour apple type pleasant aroma in the beginning as it blends with other top notes of lime, bergamot and cool sweetness of anise. Heart is just a glimpse of aromatic spiciness that touches the notes of cardamom & coriander. Base is quite woody & musky but there remains a dried affect of sour apple even when the fragrance goes down. Fresh and cool fragrance for summer wear, lasting & silage are quite appreciable with my body chemistry. Good for romantic / casual wear.
