Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas contrasted amber and leather with addictive, honeyed spices to compose this sensuous, supremely masculine fragrance. A neo-Oriental eau de parfum with a sophisticated, totally unexpected signature, BVLGARI Man in Black expresses virile strength and irresistible seduction in equal measure.
The signature bottle in black with pink-gold accents is an elegant allusion to the most exclusive BVLGARI watches for men, which balance the cool intensity of black with the warmth of rose-gold.
