King in its class
Well, I’m probably not the less prejudicated person if Mexx Black is the center of the conversion, because the Mexx brand started my love to fragrances when i was a teenager (with “Black” and “Ice touch”).

After more than 10 years and tons of anorher fragrances later Mexx Black is something special for me. I think its not only because our common past, but because the vibe of its smell.
If my opinion is based only on the overall quality, its a cheap, spicy-sweet scent with a bit smokiness and moderate projection. Not unique, not high quality, not special, and nothing mindblowing here.

But on the other hand: what is the situation if someone want only one masculine (not fresh) type budget priced fragrance with the ability to use it everywhere&everytime?
yeah, its not easy even if you are not in the budget territory. Well, than you can pick only one fragrance, and this is the Mexx Black.

And what is the situation if someone want only one masculine (not fresh) type fragrance in any price range with the ability to use it everywhere and everytime? I dont know, because the most of the masculine fragrances are overpowering in summertime (like Zadig -This is him (fantastic one btw)), or not fitting for someone’s personality (like Tom Ford - Noir (too mature)), too “gentlemanish” (YSL - La Nuit/Y/Bleu de Chanel) or just too much projection for some occasiation (The One EDP).
I can only mention Armani Code with the same vibe/versatility, but in my opinion its not worth the extra price after its reformulation, because the Code’s longetivity is close to zero hours.

Reise in die Vergangenheit
So viele Erinnerungen verbinde ich mit diesem Duft. Früher habe ich ihn immer in der Schule getragen und jeden Morgen meine Mum gefragt, ob ich gut rieche. Sie hat dann immer so getan, als wäre das das beste Parfüm überhaupt. Ich habe ihn mir letztens nachgekauft, einfach um ihn immer wieder riechen zu können. Er hat so gut wie keine Haltbarkeit oder Sillage, aber für mich ist er dennoch ein toller Duft.

Depressing
Smelling this freshly sprayed I had the UGH reaction, not a good sign. A bland and bleak scent dominated by pepper and patchouli. The word "generic" comes to mind. Little citrus. The name fits the smell, as does the bottle, although it should be brownish instead of bluish. A dark, heavy and rather depressing scent with very weak performance.

My Youth in a Perfume
With Mexx Black, my father gave me a perfume for Christmas that my 14-year-old self thought was absolutely brilliant.
The scent earned me compliments, my dear man. The woody, slightly spicy fragrance of Mexx Black was my trademark. My Swiss Army knife. It’s no wonder I had countless bottles of this scent.
The longevity is terrible. For 12-15€, however, it's quite OK. Unfortunately/fortunately, there are now even fragrances that cost the same but have double the longevity. The sillage is only decent in the first hour. Well, for school, you don’t need an absolute projection monster that annoys all your classmates.
If you want a fragrance that doesn’t cost much and you’re just starting to get interested in this direction, then you should get Mexx Black. Highly recommended for students aged 13-18. Once more money comes in, then invest more (even if this isn’t always necessary).

Push it to the Mexx!
"Mexx Black for Men" reminds me of a mix between "Boss Bottled" and "Ultraviolet Men". A drugstore scent that doesn’t need to be torn apart or should be. It is certainly not a revelation, and as an advanced perfumista, you wouldn’t bat an eye at it, but to dislike or even hate it is quite impossible, as it is far too... neat, pleasant, and attractive.

I could have used exactly such a fragrance for school grades 5 to 10. So if there’s still a mother or aunt looking for a nice scent for their "little one" that smells good and never stands out negatively, then this all-rounder is not a bad choice at all. Not at all. Of course, if you compare it to a Frederic Malle, it comes off as a characterless piece of junk. However, keeping in mind the price and areas of use, and perhaps the other offerings from the brand, "Mexx Black" is more than okay. And for a start, that’s enough. Sporty, youthful, office-appropriate. A peppery-creamy mandarin-amber head nodder. The intern scent. But it doesn’t block any chances for advancement. And the (younger) girls usually like it too. Practical package. With low expectations and realistic assessments.

Bottle: not super high quality, but valuable and stylish enough for the price range and brand and its areas of use. Just like the scent itself. Unremarkable but acceptable.
Sillage & Longevity: mediocre to poor (3-4 hours) - but reapplying costs (almost) nothing!

Conclusion: you probably won’t find a better Mexx (for men) - absolutely usable, often wearable, and as a gateway drug into the world of fragrances, a solid choice. Especially for students and young adults who don’t need anything particularly fancy or expensive. Good!

The best budget scent ever made. I’m really into scents, but cannot find a 100% “step up” from this, bcoz its day/night/All season/occasion.

I bet the same scent from a quirky, semi-niche brand like CdG would score about 20% better here on average.

Fresh, boring, youthful. Good for starting out and scenting lavishly. A youth fragrance.

Initially a beautiful dark, rich freshness with spice, but unfortunately it transitions into a very unpleasant, grainy, musty-synthetic base.

For a drugstore scent, not bad.
Fruity and woody. If you don't want to spend much on fragrances,
this is the right choice.

Before I got into fragrances, I wore this one as an everyday scent for a while. Smells pretty good, doesn't annoy anyone, easy to wear.

Black? No.
It smells quite floral due to the prominent water lily.
I see it more on a woman.
It resembles Sculpture a bit.

Smells really good... but so weak... but beautifully cheap... unfortunately just so weak... what's the point of being cheap if you can't smell anything... nothing.......
