I was always interested in trying this fragrance because I love vanilla but hate overly sweet, gourmand fragrances. I give props to Bulgari for creating something this interesting, but...

A delightful masterpiece with such an unexpected scent. Bvlgari calls it a “supreme exponent of the metropolitan concept". It smells earthy and natural, but urban. The scent is soft, yet bold....

All the reviews I had read about this before trying it made me believe it would knock me off my feet - and not in a good way. I was expecting a whole heap of burning rubber tyres, but I was...

It smells like burning Barbies and vanilla on me. LOL No really - it does. Like burning rubber Barbie dolls laced with Aqualina Pink Sugar. But that's not a bad thing, unexpected, but not a bad...

Amazing. I used to read the reviews for Black, and think, "Rubber and vanilla, and you think that smells good??" I figured you had to be a jaded perfumista to appreciate it. Well, I guess I've...

Hot pavement and burning rubber are two of my favorite smells, so when I heard that the top note in Black was the latter, I had to have it. It's as good as I'd hoped. From hot rubber to dry...

Love this fragrance but can only wear it in small doses. The rubber note in this,the first couple hours, reminds me of something I smell every time I'm in the dentist's office. Not sure about the...

I am a big fan of weird, unusual fragrances. I thought I would love this after hearing of it's cult following. While I love the puck packaging, the rubber note is so strong on me, it's unwearable....

Smells like a gingerbread man in S&M gear. I don't get the tire scent at all, except for when I smell it directly in the bottle. On my skin I smell a lot of deep vanilla and leather. Definitely...

Once you get past the weird top notes, the drydown is overall not unpleasant...but Black lacks feminity, warmth, and sensuality...good for the adventurous woman who wants to smell a bit masculine!!...

After tirelessly looking for a modern, woody oriental that would celebrate fall, I took a chance and ordered Black based off of its exciting reviews. I'm not disappointed--but this is no woody...

My new love! This is a great contradiction to all the super sweet perfumes. Bvlgari Black is all that is dark, mysterious, sexy and dangerous. Top notes are a powdery rubber [this is a good...

I'm sooo disappointed in Bulgari Black. I'd read all these great reviews for it and they all mention tea, tar/rubber and vanilla. Mostly black tea. So I was hoping for a good smoky black tea...

Rubber! The wet rubber note comes out very strongly on me, and smells like wet tires on a city street. The rubber faded a bit over a few hours, leaving a fresh, slightly sweet, almost anise...

To me this is a feel-good fragrance in a strange way. I like it with a big black jumper, a nice beret, a long scarf and a good film in the cinema on a winter day. Perhaps some mulled wine or a good...

Black was launched by Bvlgari, the Italian jewelry line, in 1998. It was created by perfumer Annick Menardo, and the fragrance notes are black tea, rosewood, bergamot, cedar, oakmoss, vanilla,...

I am sad: I bought a mini as that's all I can find in South Africa. And it's lovely, very very nice, but where is the weird?! Is it missing because I can't spray and must dab on tiny bits?! I want...
