This perfume (EDP concentration) opens soberly but not gently, and even a bit forceful, being easily identifiable the strong citrusy notes (aromatic bergamot and tangy bittersweet bloody grapefruit) and the desert cactus juice scent that is the signature of this fragrance. This initial roughness calms down in half an hour if you apply it on your skin for open air usage, or later, if you apply it for indoor use and on your clothes… or sometime in between.
The cactus note is quite persistent and shows its real character – green and herbaceous – in the heart where it remains dominant but smoother, and blended with cardamom, freesia, amber and leather.
The cactus becomes softer as time goes by, but endures until the appearance of the bottom notes, blending with a vanillic benzoin, a refreshing Haitian vetiver and indistinct woody notes.
The cactus dominant note and the blending that results from the different accords, makes this fragrance unique, fresh and soothing.
The longevity, the silage and the projection are average as expected with the notes used, but I hoped for a better performance of this Eau de Parfum concentration and being a noble special series flanker.
Due to the recent competitive prices, this perfume is a safe blind purchase if you want a fresh, but also a woody and spicy different aroma, as well receiving some compliments. I think that Bvlgari Man Extrême has been underrated and neglected by the many convicted Bvlgarians out there, and all the fresh fragrances lovers in general. It is great for use in the office and any kind of indoor activity. For outdoor events, be sure to carry an atomizer.
Although I would like this perfume to have a better performance, it is among the fresh fragrances I greatly appreciate. The All Blacks Limited Edition bottle is gorgeous and fits nicely in any shelf.
Let’s check the math for Bvlgari Man Extrême All Blacks Limited Edition:
– Scent opening: 9.0
– Scent drydown: 9.0
– Longevity: 7.0 (5~6 hours with 3 sprays)
– Sillage: 6.0 (up to an arm lenght with 2.0 hours of projection with 3 sprays)
– Uniqueness: 9.5 (unique, very well blended, and just similar to the original Bvlgari Man Extrême)
– Versatility: 8.5 (almost everywhere, but with a lot better choices for clubbing and formal events. Perfect for leisure at home, gym and ope air spring and summer activities)
– Wearability: 7.5 (high during Spring and adequate for Summer and Fall as well, but avoid extreme heat or cold days; It’s not a night fragrance except during the summer).
– Compliments: 8.0 (It’s a fresh fragrance pleaser but a moderate compliment magnet)
– Quality: 9.0 (my judgement – does not suggest even a small vibe of being cheap or synthetic. It does smell expensive; with a better performance it would deserve a 10.0)
– Presentation: 10.0 (perfect as most Bvlgaris)
– Price: 9.0 (100 ml non tester for 27 Euros)
Average: 8.41 / 10.00
– between 7 and 8 = above average;
– between 8 and 9 = recomended;
– bigger than 9 = don’t miss it;
Advice: Quite pleasant and modern. It does attract a positive attention but just a few compliments.
Due to its current very atractive pricing you may just blind buy it.

Now this is way better than the highly praise Man In Black. Its more wearable in many situations. Its very masculine and crispy fresh. A sophisticated or rugged man can pull this off easy.

A sober but crisp citrus opening with enough zest, calming down in half an hour to one hour, depending if you applied it on skin or on your clothes also whether you are outdoors, direct under sun or remain in the room. Cactus though present in the top, but shows up its real character in the middle remains thoroughly till the end.
Well IMO this is the Cactus which makes this scent so unique and soothingly cool. Amber and Benzoin do show up in the dry down, but my nose is still searching for Cardamom.
Longevity silage and projection are just above average, though I expected a little more. A great blind buy, very safe scent, gets compliments but criminally under estimated and neglected. Great wear for office, indoor work, for outdoors and high humidity situations keep your decant with you.
Would’ve been among my top five summer scents if showed bit more performance. Cheers.
An interesting idea floated by great Jeremy for Versace Man Eau Fraiche, to put that in refrigerator for greater cooling. I think same goes true for Bvlgari Man Extreme All Black rather I think it’s more suitable for BME All Black. I am gona try, if some one else does, kindly let me know about your experience.

I’ve worn this a couple times now and I really feel like I hyped it up in my head the first time I wore it. The first time I wore it I noticed citrus, dry wood, spice, and it reminded me of Chanel Antaeus without the castoreum note. This second time I got citrus, green notes, airy, aquatic or marine notes found in “bleu” perfumes, and also a desert note. It borders on other designer fragrances I’ve smelled so it doesn’t really stand out to me as anything special. That being said I do like it but it has soft to medium sillage for me and I like stuff that’s a little stronger so I probably wouldn’t purchase a full bottle.

My first review here, so take it for what it is. 🙂
I won’t comment on the scent itself, many others have already done that for the regular Man Extreme. I just want to share my thoughts comparing these two. I have a 2013 batch of the Man Extreme and recently purchased this All Blacks edition. I did a comparison on paper and to my nose they are exactly the same fragrance. They smell the same all the way through, they last just as long (48h+ on paper, but on my skin just a few hours) and they project the same (moderate). The All Blacks bottle is nicer, though! Other than that there is no reason for grabbing this instead of the regular, IMHO. I found a 50% off deal so I couldn’t resist…

Another one for the first time, I haven’t compared it with the other MAN versions I have.
But this one got noticed right away when I got to work and complemented, so good start. Now after 8 hrs. is very close to the skin, no very long sillage or longevity for an EDP. Well prob. will update.

This one has great longevity and the silage is amazing. This is very sharp and green with some great plum and grassy notes. You will only need 2 sprays. This is a good fragrance.It is excellent

The presentation of this bottle caught my eye while browsing in the perfume section of the local chemist. Being a limited edition (& a cheap chemist), there wasn’t a tester made available so I made my buy decision based on reviews here. Thank you Fragrantica!
The smell is quite nice but I would not say it is the best of the Bvlgari men’s line. It opens with citrus notes which IMHO overwhelms the other notes I was expecting such as cardamom. There is the presence of a woody base and if you’ve smelt the rest of the Bvlgari line before, a hint of what appears to be black tea. In summary, a nice scent but not one which is complicated or mind-blowing. I give it a rating of 6.5 out of 10.
It is however a suitable citrus-heavy perfume for daytime use, whether in the office or in other casual settings. Its projection is moderate but the biggest weakness is its longevity. On me, it won’t last beyond 4 hours so by around noon, I can barely smell it.
Not a bad scent if you’re after one for daytime use but best to smell and test before committing along with others in the Bvlgari line as you may likely find something better.

Bad experience.. bought few days back… I smelled Man Extreme in the shop n love it..but bought this ALL BLACK EDITION as it was packed piece …. thinking that this would be much more intense and long lasting..
BAD experience. Will never buy this one again.
Bvlgari MAN EXTREME is much more better..

BVLGARI MAN EXTREME INTENSE is an uber modern cologne that’s spicier than the original. Bergamot, blended with prominent note of iris (making it ideal for ladies) together with amber, vetiver and benzoin makes it ideal for office, weekends, midday launch, shopping, polos, etc. Impressive longevity of 8hrs+! My gal is ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with this! She keeps spritzing for work! Through her, I’ve been able to appreciate this cologne more!

I tried this today at Myer and found it quite light with average longevity. The overall smell is generic. Sorry but the name is misleading.

Lets start with the presentation, AMAZING! btw im from NZ 🙂
Now to the scent.
Very very strong citrus top, the bergamot is authentic and some kind of citrus floral joins it, I thought it was neroli.
The top is the best bit of the scent. stays for 2-3 hours.
then it becomes very soapy, clean floral musky scent.
I wished i detected a bit more cardamom but no luck. Also negligible vetiver in my opinion.
Performance and longevity certainly better then the non intense version. around 7 hours and projects well too.
It is very fresh professional smell and definitely an intense version of the extreme version. 😉
I don’t think it mentions here but it is an (EDP Intense) concentration.
