The Fallen Black Knight
This is a fragrance that -in my opinion- improves everything good about Man in Black - the famous previous flanker - and solves all its weak points, taking the original olfactory idea to its maximum artistic expression - without leaving its series, of course -:

- Creamier, more mysterious, more refined… better blended, better performance, better sillage... If you like MiB, it's hard not to like this one; it also dispels that inconvenient “drunken scoundrel” reminiscence of the first:

Black Orient replaces MiB's tobacco with cardamom, orris with Taif rose and benzoin with oud, creating a fantastic olfactory composition albeit a little darker, more enigmatic and elegant.

Unfortunately it wasn’t cheered on YouTube as happened to its sister who became the bet of the brand, discarding the rest of similar iterations.

If you like MiB and you can get this, you shouldn't hesitate, although I don't advise paying collector's prices either.

So I see the shelf with the fragrance bottles and I reach out and pick up the black bottle crowned with gold, knowing that with each new breath, it draws closer to its dark destiny…

Recommended For the Cold Nights
I bought this one to test it because of good reviews, and I was happy with it the scent is good a bit harsh ( so not everyone will like it) it's not really spicy maybe more leathery.
The performance : to test it out I did one spray on my arm and continued with my buisness as usual
So for the first 02 hours I could smell it really good and it projects really well; after that it drawdown a bit.
For longevity : 08 hours on my skin, I could even smell some traces on my arm after more than 12 hours.

An overrated flanker...
Enriched by the rum note, although it is not sweet or cloying at all. The liquor point quickly fades, entering a very smoky, dry and linear phase that remains unchanged until the end. Leather and oud remain shy, close to the skin.

The sillage isn't amazing, and the longevity is downright short on my skin. It has a slight similarity in its middle phase with Midnight in Paris, by Van Cleef & Arpels, but I love that one and I don't find a point of originality or character in Bvlgari Man Black Orient that would invite me to buy it. It reminds me of the rest of the Bvlgari Man flankers, although it has the outstanding smoky character as a novelty. This could please those who enjoy this feature in a perfume.

I don't think it's a bad fragrance, although I'm not convinced because it lacks something to be round, and even more to be special, I don't know... It lacks body, projection and intensity.

Dark complex oriental
An exquisite composition including oud from natural origin this treasure is now doscontinued and very hard to find. It has something form the old Guerlains Les desert d Orient collection. Amazing quality, 12 hours longevity and good projection. Grab it if you find it at a resonable price, unfortunately the prices are insane nowadays.
Happy to have it in my collection, a true masterpiece given to us from Alberto Morillas.

Best Bvlgari
Sadly discontinued (what are you doing, guys) masterpiece by morillas.

Great rum, leather and cardamom combo, uber masculine and elegant, amazing presence and projection.

I don't understand how this got discontinued. Maybe some IFRA BS.

I hold my last 10ml as if it was liquid gold.

Legendary scent

Very dry, ashy and synthetic cardamom-woods that last forever. Bit one-dimensional after that sweet opening tho, so a decent layering piece.

Not for everyone. Unique 'cause not everybody uses this scent as a perfume. But not unique 'cause it smells like a candle or incense store.

The OG made unique. Dark woods added to the sweet resinous nature of man in black. A bit more mature and well balanced without sharp edges.
