Cool Happiness
Shame on me - I have generally always overlooked the Bvlgari Mans (except for the Black Cologne). Stylish bottles, yes, but the content didn't seem to make much of an impression, at least here on Parfumo. Poor performance, boring office scents, no pizzazz.
This image changed abruptly for me a few weeks ago. A friend walked ahead of me, and I was hit by a fruity-woody, subtly creamy and clean scent. Breathlessly, I asked him what he was wearing. "Man Extreme" was the answer. So I had met another Bvlgari Man, which of course had to be acquired immediately (!). By chance, I stumbled upon the All Blacks Limited Edition - I honestly can't explain why 'All Blacks' - which is said to smell exactly like the original according to Fragrantica. And it does. The scent starts citrusy and zesty, vetiver and bergamot slicing through the air like a katana. A cooling finish with pepper and cardamom begins, leaving a silky feeling. There is also an underlying sweetness that makes the scent suitable for year-round wear. Very noble, calming, relaxed. I can also imagine the scent on a confident, dominant lady, although it is fundamentally quite masculine - a delicate powder note adds a feminine touch.
The longevity and sillage are quite decent, better than the original for sure. I estimate about 6 hours of longevity in winter. Unfortunately, this version is now very hard to find; if you're lucky enough to come across it: go for it! Blind buy-worthy for all vetiver, powder, and spicy scent lovers.
I am glad that this scent has now received its first comment here on Parfumo and has recently been added to my collection!
