Black Tea Water EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This is a leather scent that truly lives up to its name: Cuir Intense. It's bold, unapologetic, and divisive. If you're a leather lover, you'll adore its potent realism and incredible staying power. If not, prepare for an overwhelming experience.
Black Tea Water is Perfume Parlour's run at Bvlgari's Eau Parfumee au The Noir, that gauzy smoky tea-rose. The dupe lands the black-tea-and-rose core but plays it heavier and a little flatter than the airy original, pushing the leather up while losing some of the gossamer transparency.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its beastly projection and longevity, Cuir Intense is far too assertive for the office. It truly shines at formal events and makes a memorable statement on a date. Its intensity makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear or anything active.
Seasons
The smoky tea, leather and rose lean cool-weather, peaking in autumn and winter while feeling heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Its refined, understated character suits evening and the office equally, transitioning easily into smart formal wear.
