Perfume Review: Bvlgari Black
The first fragrance I wore in 2007 was Bvlgari Black. The choice was somewhat random and somewhat in line with my new year’s resolution to wear and appreciate what I have, hereby minimizing perfume purchases. I sort of instantly failed in that department - a sample of Black just didn’t seem like enough, so off to eBay I went. Nevertheless, that is still my commitment. Bvlgari Black is one of those scents that will play tricks on you, whether you like it or not. For me, it’s been a love and hate relationship. Love at first sniff, instant hate when worn on the wrong day (let’s just say, do not attempt to wear it on hormonally-charged days). After almost 2 years, I love it again.
Bvlgari Black is an urban scent. Perhaps that’s the reason I love it so - it seems so fitting with my now urban lifestyle. When we first moved to Chicago, I immediately found myself lacking in two things: to be truly urban, you have to eat sushi and wear an iPod. The sushi part has been taken care of, the iPod is next, and now there’s an additional item - Bvlgari Black. In simple terms, it’s a refined rendition of exhaust fumes, car tires, pavement, and an occasional leather jacket. Composition-wise, it’s a blend of bergamot, rosewood, black tea, jasmine, cedarwood, vanilla, amber, sandalwood, musk. Minimalist and complex simultaneously, it’s a scent that makes a statement in a trendy, metropolitan kind of way.
