Black (2007)
by Pierre Cardin

In fashion everything is metaphorically referred to as "the new black"... in fragrance anything "black" is just a moniker for "safe citrus standby"... when you don't really want to be noticed, but you don't want to offend either... After numerous wearings at home I decided to overindulge in P.C. Black one day for work to see what kind of comments I received... Let's just say that I got a couple of questions but most were in the line of "hey are you wearing this? or hey are you wearing that?"... Compared to most of the other generic "pseudo-aquatics" I would rate this as being decent, but if I really wanted obscure generalities from untrained noses I would spend my money on Axe body spray and be done with it... This might be the most warranted "neutral" rating I've ever given

a very nice scent in the realm of the other black named fragrances out there. if you like polo double black, or armani code, i suggest this for you.

Great EdC strength semi-sweet and woody. Cheap! A good gift for someone that doesn't wear fragrances.

I picked this for dirt cheap at a drug store in lovely Chicago Illinois while stuck there during a blizzard :-(. Anyway, I put it on, didn't think much of it, it was an impulse buy only (6 US Dollars for 1.5 oz), and low and behold . . . something lovely happened a little later.

While the scent stayed very close to the skin, it did carry when I least expected it . . . A couple hours later I was asking myself what it was I smelled that was so heavenly, and it was this!! Thing is, it had all but vanished from my skin; it was on my messenger bag that caught the access spray!

So, my verdict, its new lot in my life is . . . a fabric refresher.

Pretty darn good. Very very similar to Black Jeans by Versace. Lasting power is excellent for an edc. It is somewhat hard to find, I found mine in Guadalajara, Mexico for cheap. Not the best black out there - for that see Cavalli - but this stuff is much better than some of the more expensive overused garbage - for that see Polo. Overall, a solid thumbs up for this sexy juice, a cross between Black Jeans and Sean John, which are both awesome.

I tested this and it immediately reminded me of Sean John Unforgivable, which itself reminds me of Creed Silver Mountain Water. I prefer this scent over Unforgivable though because it is not as loud. It has nice sillage and excellent longevity. An impressive offering from Pierre Cardin, especially if you're a fan of SJ or CSMW.
