    a mate of mine went on about this for a while so i got a bottle of friday ive just sprayed it for the 1st time and its stunning it reminds me of for me the nicest smelling mens scent of all time D&G the one edp it has that distinctive warmth. Instantly one of my fave scents in my collection.

    Finally after wearing this for a while it hit me what this reminds me of. When I smell it off my skin on the dry down it smells very similar to black orchid. Sometimes it takes months of wearing to finally realize what something smells like to me. And it just hit me out of nowhere. I sprayed black orchid just to see cause I haven't worn that in years and yes the dry down of mib is very similar to black orchid way more wearable and masculine and Woody Ofcourse off of my skin imo. Incredible stuff from bvlgari!!!

    It is a beautiful fragrance just as spice bomb is. It's like if you want to wear spice bomb on a date or in a job interview you would wear mib instead cause slice bomb is just so aggressive. My issue unfortunately is that the performance is so bad. I'm sure when it came out all those years ago it probably performed really well but now even though I would wear it to be a calmer spice bomb it way to calm basically a skin scent immediately.

    I have this one it's a good scent I'd say its a sweet tobacco scent with dark qualities it is a good fragrance i don't get as good a performance as you do but it still is average performance on my skin and its average projection but the scent itself is high quality smell i like it and i love darker fragrances in general I'm drawn to them even though the average person around me usually isn't lol

  • @fallguy6196

    Luckily bvlgari displays the batch code right on the bottom of the box. So I went into Macy's today and made the lady show me all 10 of Thier packages (she honestly thought I was crazy but eventually understood ) and I found one that was 3 years old the other 9 where all 2021. . I have no idea if it's better or worse then the 2021 batches but all I can say is it is very strong and last allday projection isn't crazy but idc about projection. I've sampled this and had decants in the past and always loved it but never bought a full bottle because I was always afraid of performance and I'm glad I finally got a full bottle. Even if they didn't have an old one I still would have got it it's just so unbelievably good.

  • @Teamshmo
    @Teamshmo 3 роки тому

    I love this fragrance, but the performance was not good for me. It starts really strong and after about 3hrs was gone. However, I let it sit for about a year and the performance got better to about 5hrs. Also, if you put lotion on first it will last even longer. I have heard that trick for a while, but it never made much of a difference with other scents. This one it really does.

    I love this but I feel it’s a skin scent will definitely be giving it a go and see how it works. Some things are just made to be skin scents. Bois Dargant , Ideo prison blues , Jubilation xxv peas amber intense. All skin scents that are wonderful in my opinion but I only pull for them if I know I will be sitting at a table with people and don’t want to ruin the persons dinner with something like let’s say hacivat or red tobacco which smell great but is nuclear and in my opinion does not work in close situations

  • @justaddlight
    @justaddlight 3 роки тому +2

    Despite having, wearing and slightly preferring Black Orient myself, the original MiB still feels like the more complete fragrance to me. But since I already had 1899 at the time, it only seemed logical to opt for the extra performance and woody punch of BO. Black...Orient. Not the greatest abbreviation. But layer the two with a dash of Eau des Missions et voila, the best of every world. Easily still one of the best looking and smelling designers currently available.

    Wanted to like MIB, tried it three times, but it smells relentlessly synthetic. It’s light, transparent, watery-clean chemicals to my nose. “Man in Black” is a misnomer; it’s fairly gentle stuff.

  • @chi-towncalifornia5916
    @chi-towncalifornia5916 3 роки тому +1

    I personally never tried MIB; I went straight to Black Orient. Black Orient is still my signature scent, but the problem is backup bottles have become EXTREMELY expensive, so when I run out, I’ll need to search for something else to fill that void. I did purchase MIB Essence (the one with the cool Laolú graphic art design on the bottle), but it’s more of the cinnamon and chocolate gourmand flanker of the line, so it’s not a replacement for Black Orient.
    Does anyone know what fragrance is most similar to Black Orient (that Spice Bomb/Oud and leather combination), or would MIB fill that niche best?

      @@thetechlibrarian This is why you can basically bank on fragrances the way I can bet on stocks, in point of fact just buying a good grand worth of cologne is easily a better use of your money than paying a thousand in crypto (but mostly crypto be bullshit anyway). Like I could've easily doubled my money on Armani Code Profumo and Absolu last year, sadly. Man in Black Intense is now literally impossible to find, and Essence and Black Orient are now extremely rare and very expensive on ebay.

    Delighted to hear you give this fragrance its solo after hearing you mention with such fondness throughout your reviews of the recent months; it's one of those fragrances where my mouth starts to water just hearing someone read the notes. I appreciate the rum accord they incorporate in their range; did you ever get your nose on the recently discontinued Man Black Cologne? (Personally, I think the Bvlgari bottles are gorgeous, but that's down to taste.)
    Do you believe green/vegetal notes in fragrance can be carried off in fall or winter?

    Dear George, how would you compare this one to Givenchy Gentleman Only Absolute EDP ( I know, it's a long name). I personnaly find the Givenchy to be the better, more interesting, more original out of the two. If you have the chance, I could sincerely recommend you to try and compare the Bvlgari to the GIvenchy and find out which one you like more. Of course, it all depends on which one you smelled and felt in love with first..

    Am I smelling the same MiB as you?? Just blind bought it and opened it as a bday gift for myself yesterday. I feel it smells quite basic. Smells sort of similar to Nivea silver protect if I remember the smell correctly, I mean it's the first thing that came to my head when I first smelled MiB. Performance is weak. After 3 hours with about 5-6 sprays around my neck I asked my sister if she could smell it but she couldn't. Also it was close to non-existent on my wrist with about 2-3 sprays. But she does really likes the smell to be fair. I wanna give this a chance though. I've heard if you let a fragrance sit for a few months it can become slightly stronger. This works well as an intimate skin scent. it's not a particularly noticeable or loud one

    • @savedandsealed826
      @savedandsealed826 2 роки тому

      Not gonna lie though, I stand by what I say on performance. This doesn't last particularly long and it is an Incredible skin scent. If you're someone who sees scent alone as a redeeming factor for a fragrance defo try this one out. You wear this one for yourself I feel

I ended up going back to the same chemist shop few weeks later and it was selling for more than double the price $120 AUD. i am guessing someone made a massive mistake and put it on the discount rack because it has never gone back down to that price ever since .

    Okay George, I own and love this frangrance, too. But, if you are going to be doing new videos every few days, you are going to have to cover some unique topics or take a different angle on what the other fragrance personalities are saying. So, I have a good one for you, and this is quite serious. It would hypothetical for you, but a reality for me. So imagine you are traveling abroad for leisure, several months in different countries and you will be in weather zones that range hot to warm to chilly (but not seriously cold). You can't lug even a small fraction of your fragrance collection with you. So, what TWO fragrances would you consider taking with you? A hard one, huh? I thought so. Not so hard for me, but I DARE YOU to think this through and come up with your best, most versatile warm weather or cool weather fragrances. Because I will be doing just this in six months. Again, your challenge would be my reality.
