Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man In Black
A bold, fiery statement scent blending spicy warmth and smoky woods with a seductive floral heart. If you crave undeniable presence and sophistication, Man In Black delivers with hypnotic allure.
Statement
Our Verdict - Noir Italia
Perfume Parlour's Noir Italia chases Bvlgari Man In Black - the boozy-spicy opening into a smooth leather with creamy florals and a warm tonka-guaiac base is recognisable, but this dupe flattens the rugged-yet-refined elegance that made the original a designer staple.

Season and Occasion Fit

Man In Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The heavy, spicy, resinous and ambery character makes this ideal for cold weather, where its richness and warmth shine. It can work in spring and cool nights but feels overwhelming in heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, seductive and opulent projection suits formal events and nights out, but may be too assertive for the office or sporty settings. Works well for romantic evenings.

Noir Italia

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm leather, spices and resinous tonka-guaiac base are made for cold autumn and winter wear and feel heavy in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Refined, warm and masculine - tailored to evenings, dates and formal occasions, and clean enough for the office in cooler months; too rich for sport.
