Notes are all wrong up here.
From Bois 1920’s website:
Saffron, bergamot & orange, clove
Patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood, ylang ylang
Leather, amber & vanilla
This fragrance is beautiful. It is a rich, dry resinous with a strong bitter aromatic sensation. Sensation ’cause it is not really part of the notes description. After it all settled, I immediately had this impression of a compromise between Amouage’s Interlude Man & Memoir Man. It has a strong opoponax & dry saffron leathery quality. I must admit having a hard time relating to the scent pyramid (the right one) here to a point where I was wondering if my bottle had the right fragrance in it. The citruses here are extremely subdued and probably only responsable to recreate this distant brightness in opening. I cannot say I recognize anything like ylang ylang or even vanilla. The sweetness here, on me, is more gum-like, resinous and with that strong, smoky, bitter aromatic sensation that keeps bringing me back to Interlude or Memoir. You feel your in the presence of a very dense, dark and heavy syrup. If we push the metaphor to an extreme… petroleum… Black Gold – Oro Nero!
Unless the amber accord has been made with lots of resinous components, Bois 1920’s Enzo Gallardi has managed to create this balsamic impression solely relying on woods & spices. Impressive!
I agree with MegaMav on the simplicity. It looks pretty simple and linear, but on skin, this fragrance is a little work of art of resins, smoky woods & bitter aromatics. I love Bois 1920 for the great quality of their offerings.

The graphical notes are incorrect on here, read the description for accurate notes.
I blind bought this, the bottle is amazing. Matte black, fine, smooth finish with a rough gold flake coated cap.
This fragrance really has nothing to do with the original Oro 1920, im not sure why there is a shared name.
Oro is Suederal leather with character and refinement.
Oro Nero is a woody oriental with an eastern flare.
Starts out spicy, smoky and smelling of dried tobacco from a combination of the saffron, cloves and I can smell some opoponax in this one still with its sweet, powdery nuances.
If anything I would say this one borrows slightly from Galardi’s BOIS 1920 Dolce Di Giorno. A distant relationship with Amouage’s Jubilation XXV.
It is a sweet finish from smooth sandalwood with vanilla and a touch of ambery resins. Teasing whiffs of Guerlainade.
No leather though, interesting.
Simple but effective at the end. Im happy to own a heavily discounted bottle and imagine it would be stunning on either a man or woman with a foot of snow on the ground.
