Franck Olivier In Black for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011. In Black for Men opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Sage, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Franck Olivier's In Black for Men carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This budget-friendly scent delivers a bright, fresh, and surprisingly masculine modern take on familiar 'blue' fragrances. It's a fantastic everyday grab for those who like to smell clean and put-together without breaking the bank, though some find it a bit too synthetic.

About

Opens with a vibrant burst of zesty bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, underscored by fresh sage. The heart introduces a crisp pineapple note, adding a touch of playful sweetness, alongside a delicate jasmine. The base settles into a robust woody accord of cedar and sandalwood, softened by warm amber, creating a masculine and well-rounded dry down that's both fresh and grounded.
