About
Black by Bvlgari is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Black was launched in 1998. The nose behind this fragrance is Annick Menardo. Top notes are Green Tea, Bergamot and Rose; middle notes are Sandalwood, Cedar and Jasmine; base notes are Leather, Vanilla, Amber, Musk and Oakmoss. As its smokey, rubbery and woody notes implie, Black is created for a man living a metropolitan life. Black was composed without an olfactive pyramid. It starts with a smoky black tea, in this case lapsang souchong, urban and masculine, simulating rubber, car tires, cars, roads and motor noise while the notes of amber and woody notes remind that even the largest cities hide romantic moments at sunsets. It is created by Annick Menardo in 1998.
