Bvlgari Man Black Cologne Bvlgari 2016

... reminds me of the Andrew Sisters when tasting Black Cologne.

The opening really reminds me of a rum and cola with a slice of lemon floating in it.
Sweet, fizzy - slightly alcoholic.

Then a diligent tuberose steps in, cooled by clear neroli.
So far - so good.
But now a medically sharp note flashes up that I can't quite place.
It has something clean - but also sterile.
Fortunately, the sandalwood soon dampens this "clinical" impression.

The cover states: A fragrance like a burning hot water.
I cannot confirm this, as the scent feels rather cool and distant to me.

Moreover, it is quite substantial for a cologne. I expected more transparency.
Nevertheless, it is more clear than "black".

The longevity is good - but the sillage is too strong for the office.
More of an evening scent - for large spaces with room to breathe.

For me, definitely an individual men's fragrance.
