The best Frangrance One until now
The first feeling is quite good, it feels like you are smelling something of good niche quality.
The mandarin is delicious, oily, woody, with a touch of vetiver, all well sustained, more serious and more mature than Date without a doubt, it does not have the sweetness that I didn't like about it, it's something else, although I understand that it has some date dna in common. The wood is very noticeable, nothing artificial.

The aroma is not groundbreaking but it's really well done, a kind of what Parfums de Marly offers but richer.

It's long lasting, and with perfect sillage, it's not close to be soft but also not overwhelming (it is more content than Date) and you can smell bursts all the time.

Black Tie is elegant, classy, ​​masculine, except summer and the warmest part of the spring is totally versatile, it can be used in any situation, I have tried all three by Morillas from this house and I think this one is the best of them.

Although it isn't listed in the notes, it has to have leather, a leather with more quality than Guilty Absolute but more tamed, with that dark, masculine and lively wood and the orange that remains quite well, is the main accord.

Although I have found it to be an excellent perfume, the price is high compared to what can be found in that range, they are simply in different leagues, but it is not the only brand that does it, there are many niche houses that do the same and they don't have so much bad hype, the bottle is the most beautiful of the line, matte black, the cap and the box are a shame, there is nothing good to tell about it, there are Walmart cheap perfume packaging with better quality. But talking just about the juice, it's over a mid-range quality perfume, for comparison I think it could be in the cost range of half it official price.

Smell: 8/10
Longevity: 8.8 / 10
Sillage: 7.7 / 10
Price: € 329 / 100ml
Recommended: High (in sales, 50% off)

Date for Men Intense
Based on Jeremy's description and the notes this sounded too similar to Date for men, I mean, citrus fruity opening, cardamom, patchouli, "sexual" vetiver (as Jeremy calls it) and Guaiac Wood or Oud... No wonder he says it's easy to layer with Date and yes, I just tried it and they are very similar but there's actual Oud in this one (I never found any in Date) so it's darker and more intense but the rest feels like a Deja-Vu.
I really enjoy the mid and the base however, the sweet synthetic fruity opening is too distracting, you can't enjoy the woody, spicy scent. It feels like an opening for another fragrance (a cheaper one for that matter) mashed into a more expensive and mature one just to make it suitable for young and older people. It's still good, I think I'll enjoy wearing it but it's not nearly as good as it could've been.

Is it worth the price tag? Well, I was saving a 50% coupon I have for Fragrance.One for Black Tie's release but little did I know the price was going to be astronomical. Even with 50% off it's more expensive than some Niche and more established brands so no, no full bottle for me, not even at half off. I mean, I've seen Jeremy on videos explaining how low cost it is to produce a fragrance, stating the juice costs only a couple of bucks and considering he doesn't spend in packaging or bottle design it's beyond me how he can charge almost $400 for a bottle and why people pay for that (unless they are made of money). So no, it's NOT worth the asking price.

I don't dislike Jeremy, I don't approve of his buffoonery and some of his business decisions make no sense to me (when you charge that much but do a BOGO you're alienating a huge chunk of your audience) but I really like Office, Date is OK and I haven't tried Unisex yet. Day and Night were disappointing and Black Tie is good enough to get a 10ml.

Am I being punked right now?
Right up front: I'm disappointed...

Yesterday the bottles of "Black Tie" finally arrived. I have never been so excited about a fragrance. Why am I so excited? The brand and its owner (FRAGRANCE.ONE & Jeremy Fragrance) simply polarize. You post a message in the forum and not only do you get positive feedback because of Jeremy's odd appearance, "I would never buy a fragrance from such a one," has also been read
I figured, no matter what anybody says. You try it. And with the price of € 165 for the bottle, the risk seemed small. The actual price of €329 would have deterred me more. I'm honest about that
But what did I, and the participants of my sharing starting tomorrow, get? I am disappointed. Even the bottle. The lid looks cheap, the crown around the neck of the bottle has no cover. For the price I would have expected more I notice that the lid is scratched already when opening it. The metal is just much too soft. The sprayer is great. I can't complain about that. Also the cardboard looks cheap. Maybe I am spoiled by Liquides Imaginaires and Penhaligon's, but I expected this to be more valuable
Clearly the fragrance is in the foreground at the end. But for me, the flacon and the packaging are simply part of the overall impression. I love magnetic lids à la Amouage, for example, or heavy lids that make something special.

Now it is tested for the first time on the forearm. I close my eyes... a brutal opening that practically screams at you and says "here I am." It's smoky, it almost makes your throat itch. I open my eyes because I think I'm holding the wrong bottle. Isn't it? Hmm... yeah, for sure. You know the scent already That's "NO LIMIT$" by Philipp Plein... it can't be. It's at least three-quarters sure. And since both scents are from the same pen, it's not so strange. At "Date for Men" they copied from "Ultra Male"
There is still something fresh missing from "NO LIMIT$". I search in my collection and find it at "Office for Men" and "Bleu de Chanel EdP". Exactly this freshness comes through.

It changes colour after about 4 hours. Now the gujac wood and cardamom come through and he becomes an original. I have never noticed this scent before. When working on the laptop he makes it from the back of my hand and forearms to my nose for a very long time. The durability and silage are a 10/10, no shadow of a doubt.

But what disappointed me even more was his name. He does not remind me of a "black tie" - or the dress code that is actually meant by it - at all. But "
Le Vestiaire - Tuxedo" reminds me just as little of a tuxedo. I don't have a clear picture of how someone wearing this fragrance should look like when wearing "Black Tie for Men" either.

Conclusion: My high expectations were disappointed, all along the line. Packaging, bottle, cap, opening and heart note disappoint me "Black Tie for Men" and I won't be friends.

That's too bad.

Stay away from cheese!!!!!
(At the very end of my commentary you will find a short summary)

Guided tour:

This is one of Jeremy Fragrance's more recent YouTube video titles that is as confusing as the similarity of the name and the fragrance character of "black tie". The title of the video should rather read: "stay away from black tie events when you wear black tie".

How dear "Jeremy", or rather Daniel Stütz, as his real name is called on my fragrance journey, shaped me, I have written down in detail in a longer commentary at Office for man. (Gladly read in) Wink Smiley

With ever new provocative and confusing videos the self-proclaimed scent guru keeps making Youtube insecure. In the beginning I thought that this was surely just to generate more attention, but in the meantime I'm not so sure if this is really what it's all about or if he's really going through a "difficult time" and discrediting himself publicly. He would like to have authentic reviews of unique delicacies and not just some unfounded nutritional tips, where every halfway educated person is clasping their hands over their head. But the times in which one has received this content are long gone
Description of "Black tie":

Now to the fragrance I would have preferred to stay away from at my first impression. (allusion to the cheese video)
The fragrance was strongly promoted by Jeremy as his fragrances before. Still, I hoped for no greater disappointment this time. After the catastrophic release of "Date for man", which was an absolute sweet synthetic bomb and therefore disappointed me, he didn't do much better with "unisex for everyone".

But the topic "black tie" seemed to be quite interesting to me and so I wanted to at least give the sample a fairer chance.

I would have loved to burst into tears at the first spraying, because at the beginning at least on my skin the scent absolutely smelled like Date for man. What a disappointment. So I sprayed the scent on my arm several times and let it work.
The opening is a strong synthetic fruit mix, which I didn't even like on "Date for man" or with fragrances like "Kirke" or "Erba Pura".

Fortunately, the fruit components were soon pushed into the background. Apparently the Paraguayan guaiac wood is responsible for this, which is now increasingly becoming a skin tax. I myself rather wear less woody scents, so this scent was at least something special for me or at least something new in its form. In combination with the sweetness the scent definitely has something unique and creates something to provide a scent experience at least in small parts.

If I were to describe it as simply as possible, I would say you've brewed 1/4 "unisex for everyone" 1/4 "date for man" and 2/4 wooden components into a relatively coherent mix. I could well imagine that lovers of "Creeds Royal Oud" who also like "Date for man" could definitely like the fragrance.

Jeremy's Youtube colleague, Tuyau, has described it quite fittingly in his review of the fragrance. (Feel free to check Youtube, the video is a very successful recession of the fragrance)
What he meant here was that the fragrance is not bad, but for the synthetic and also for the uninspired beginning it can't compete with absolute top niche fragrances. I can definitely agree with this opinion.
Summary:

So what is the end result? The fragrance leaves me a little bit perplexed, because it's not bad but never gives the "vibe" of a 330 Euro perfume, neither of the presentation nor of the fragrance itself. I would recommend everyone to test the fragrance extensively before buying and then to think three times whether this investment is in proportion to the performance. Besides, the name of the fragrance is absolutely inappropriate, as I would prefer dozens of fragrances for a noble "black tie event". (But maybe this point is also a bit subjective)
Nevertheless, I would like to make a few positive points. All fragrances from fragrance one have an above-average durability and silage, including the "black tie", which can be perceived on the skin for a good 5-7 hours in my environment and lasts even longer on clothes. Another point would be the beautiful wood accord in heart and base note, which I have never smelled before and which I find very pleasant. The scent also gets better and better little by little, as the unpleasant synthetic almost completely dissipates and a pleasant masculine, sweet-woody note remains. As far as I have researched, the fragrance is "made in Germany", which is perhaps uninteresting for many, but which I would like to emphasize positively.

Men in their early twenties who like to go out and polarize with their fragrance will certainly enjoy the scent. Basically, the fragrance is well received by men and women, which I would not have necessarily thought. In conclusion, I think the fragrance is the most solid release, besides "office for man", that Jeremy has brought to the market so far, but I'll leave the price out of it.
Thanks for your attention and remember:
"stay away from cheese or people who wear black tie at black tie events. ;-)"
Short summary:

"Black tie is" a sweet (synthetic) woody scent for a younger audience. The fragrance is well suited for going out or for a date. (Not necessarily for a black tie event)

Positive:

-Shelf life/silage
-made in germany
-partly very unique fragrance character

Negative:

-Top note very synthetic
-Peis is an insolence
-EXTREME misleading name

I will (have to) give him time
Date for men is now after 12 months really good and much better than to release. You can see how he has changed
It won't be any different with black tie.
He's pretty thin to begin with. But it radiates for a long time.

Scent goes in right the Phillip Plein fragrances. Both also from Morillas
I like it. And it gets better. I look forward to it :)

Price for a bottle too expensive. At 200ml the ml price is at 1,70.
A good designer may cost 1 Euro. Nothing more
And yes, I'm just judging the scent. I don't care who does it and I don't care.

Could've been launched as 'Date for Men Intense'. It actually is an intense version of Date, the top notes clash with the mid and base

My first thought is this is John Varvatos Dark Rebel with a ton of citrus. A very wearable smokey woods and leather fragrance.
