By the editors · 2 min readThe 2015 Intense pushes Bvlgari Man In Black further into oriental territory without losing the leather signature. The opening is rum and a darker spice accord — boozy, almost sticky for the first ten minutes — before iris and tuberose come up underneath, the iris carrying a powdered, slightly cosmetic edge that softens what would otherwise read as straight liquor and skin.
The heart is where the leather lives: not the brand-new car upholstery kind, but smoke-tanned, rounded out by the tuberose's creamy bulk. Guaiac wood and benzoin in the base give it a balsamic, faintly sooty drydown that hangs on for hours, with tonka bean keeping the whole thing legible as a sweet oriental rather than a smoke monster. An evening, cold-weather projector — closer to formal than casual.
