About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Man in Black (2014) is an oriental floral for men that opens with an unexpected trio: spices, rum, and tobacco. The boozy warmth is immediate but not sweet, with the spices adding a dry tickle. As it settles, the heart reveals a leather-iris-tuberose accord—a bold, almost baroque combination. The iris lends a powdery coolness, while tuberose brings a fleshy floral richness that might surprise those expecting a straightforward masculine. The base of tonka bean, guaiac wood, and benzoin wraps everything in a resinous, ambered embrace. The drydown is smooth, woody, and slightly smoky, with the tonka's almond-like sweetness lingering. This is a scent for collectors who appreciate the interplay of leather and florals in a modern context. It suits evening wear, cooler months, and someone who wants a fragrance that feels both classic and slightly off-kilter. Not a powerhouse, but a confident, nuanced composition that rewards attention.
