Bvlgari Man in Black Essence

Bvlgari · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2017

≈ $85 · 100ml · approx. retail

A 2017 flanker to Man in Black, this Essence keeps the spirituous rum-and-spice signature while leaning warmer and more balsamic. Alberto Morillas anchors a floral-musk heart over guaiac wood and resin for a darker, resinous drydown.
