This review is from: Bvlgari Black By Bvlgari For Men and Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5 Ounces (Health and Beauty)
Kudos to Bvlgari for rejecting the focus group/box set approach dominating current perfumery. Black tells a story; a coherent one in fact. Oil slicks and tires, delivered into a palatial vanilla sweetness, with a parting that leaves neither unscathed. The romance of this relates, impressively, to this world, as opposed to fashion-mag tableaus. Still, be advised: this fragrance has an acrid beginning which, even as it sweetens, never relinquishes its origin: consumption by fire.
P.S. The indomitable Luca Turin blogs on Black:
"Black may have started out as a naughty joke in the [Bvlgari] marketing department. It could have stayed that way had it not fallen upon the ears of one of the greatest perfumers at work today, Annick Ménardo of Firmenich. She took the rubbery idea, added a cloud of talcum powder and blended the two with a luscious fur-coat structure from the fifties, something like the original Je Reviens. The result is more akin to the black mink mitt James Bond uses to induce beautiful spies to talk in From Russia With Love: a torture instrument, only nobody gets hurt."
