Benetton Colors Man Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Colors Man Black opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Nutmeg, and settles into a heart of Suede, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Lavender. Benetton's Colors Man Black carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This cheapie is a genuine head-scratcher. Most reckon it's a fantastic, warm, spicy scent that absolutely punches above its weight, but the performance is a full-on lottery, ranging from abysmal skin-scent to surprisingly beastly. A true 'your mileage may vary' kind of fragrance.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, fresh burst of pepper and nutmeg before settling into a creamy, almost chocolatey heart of lavender and suede. As it dries, it softens into a warm embrace of vanilla, amber and a polite, designer-friendly oud, creating a cozy and sensual aura. It's a sweet, woody, and darkly spicy blend that feels rich despite its price tag.
