Description
A seductive man in a dark suit follows daringly after Blue Seduction, last year’s seducer, while raising strength of the composition on a new level.
Oriental notes of amber are mixed with warm, woody accords in a very juicy and spicy way, along with fresh and sensual notes. Top notes include luminous sparkles of bergamot with tart zests of black currant. A heart of the masculine fragrance Seduction in Black is filled with fiery spicy notes: coriander, cardamom, and nutmeg, while a base hides woody notes of cedar, Tonka, amber and musk.
Its package is intriguing, designed of matt black and shiny black texture, with an elegant, silver logotype and name of the fragrance printed on its package. The fragrance has been available since 2009 in amounts of 50 and 100 ml EDT.

Fabulous cologne! Dark and spicy, a little sweet, a hint of citrus, and a lot of sexy. I am very curious now as to how Antonio’s other colognes smell.

**************************************************
3 WORDS: SWEET + JUICY + SEDUCTIVE
**************************************************
This is a well blend (natural smelling) beautiful fragrance without “synthetic” smelling notes common in celebrity scents. It open with a very “Juicy” Black Currant, instead of an artificial smelling synthetic fruits in cheap perfumes. Black current stay throughout the entire fragrance, it’s nicely done. However, projection is only mild, so you need extra spray to get noticed. I get 2hrs projections with 2 more hours of skin-scent for a total of 4 hours. Great for DATE (NetFlix & Chill), Great for Work, Great for Play.
**************************************************
don’t smell like 2018 Armani Code anymore
**************************************************
I spray SiB on left wrist, and 2018 Armani Code on my right. They don’t smell alike to my nose. I think people mis-group them together because they both share a “Mild-Sweetness” coming from using Tonka Beans. SiB is Juicer or Fruitier of the two. SiB also last 2x as long and project 2x further, and last about 3x longer. Newly reformulated Armani Code is sadly horrible. I can’t recommend anyone buy Armani Code anymore.
*****************************************************
most similar fragrance = LaCoste Pour Homme
*****************************************************
both share the same Purple Grey Juice
both share the same Fruity Juicy Opening
both share the same Sweet drydown
LCPH open with a JUICY PLUM, end with Vanilla
SiB open with a Juicy Black Current, end with Tonka Bean
I spray LCPH on my left wrist and SiB on my right, the main difference is that LCPH project way better and last 2x as long. SiB is like a lighter version of LCPH for less money. I pay under $22 for 200ml of SiB, where as LCPH will cost me $30 just for 100ml.
****************************************************
Not Sweet (Enough) by Modern 2018 Standard
****************************************************
Azzaro Wanted is 10x sweeter
Azzaro Wanted by Night is 8x sweeter
Armani Stronger with you is 10x sweeter
Armani Cod Profumo is 8x sweeter
JPG UltraMale is 12x sweeter
PB 1 Million is 4x sweeter
PB 1 Million LUCKY is 12x sweeter
PB Invictus (original) is about 6x sweeter
PB Invictus Aqua is at least 2x sweeter
Versace EROS is 6x sweeter
You have to distrust & ignore Old People whining about how overly sweet SiB is. By today’s 2018 standard, SiB would be classified as a Freshie with a touch of sweetness. I can do 20x spray of SiB and never get cloying, it is completely office safe. In fact, my main criticism is SiB is not sweet enough. A sweeter based would enable SiB to last longer.
SAgosha – :
Cologne today is not worth the money. All reformulated ,.All a bunch of junk and so expensive. Wake up people. The perfume companies are ripping us off. If it were up to me i would send a letter to all of these companies and tell them if they do not bring back good quality formulations no one will buy their colored piss. And also lower the price for lying to us all these years. If we stop buying this crap, they will wake up and stop making it. But if we keep on buying it they will continue to make this watery junk. Someone bring back the 80s and 90s
ALEX0 – :
No cologne lasts 20 hrs and projects 8. That is a bunch of boloney. These are the kind of reviews that have people buying all of this watery garbage.
Vlad00063 – :
Easy wear love it… Lmyan awet.
8/10
KvAnT – :
I must have a original version cuz i got 20 hrs of longevity of this, projected around 8-10
Doxemorne – :
You could only get away with wearing this in Summer… And then, you also have to be in the prime of your youth.
It’s by no means horrible. But I do feel it’s one dimensional. And you could only ever wear it casually.
I’m sure there are young men out there who slay in nightclubs while wearing this, but a more weary female would want some complexity of both the fragrance and the young man in question. And sadly, there’s none to be had.
You can probably chase Vodka with this stuff. That’s how fruity it is.
Maximka92 – :
This fragrance is definitely for older men. It’s not bad maybe I just can’t appreciate it.
Longevity is about 3 hours. Projects around 30 cm.
Scent: 6/10
Projection: 4/10

assassin1996 – :
I blind bought it and I was totally disappointed. I sold it!
The box and the bottle were nothing special. Just basic box and bottle.
The scent reminded me of Jagermeister. Even when I sprayed like five times after two hours the scent was long gone. Sillage was pretty poor even in the beginning.
I don’t like this or recommend at all.
Shokk – :
I remember really liking this stuff 6 or 7 years ago, until my roommate used it all… I finally got around to buying a new bottle, and I’m surprised! This is similar to Axe Dark Temptation. I didn’t remember it that way. Funny how much tastes can change in 6 or 7 years. Even still, if that’s your thing, this isn’t a bad scent at all.
It’s kind of an all occasions scent, sweet, spicy, kind of a romantic scent if you’re a younger guy. Seems to last about 6 hours which is decent, and the price is really good.
Worth trying! Especially if you want an EDT fragrance in the same vein as Axe Dark Temptation, or even Axe Gold Temptation. It’s really somewhere in between those two.
mihael0102 – :
Antonio Banderas Seduction in Black, what I have to say is this is a bit of a weird scent. It is to me a lighter and less 1 Milliony Antonio Banderas The Golden Secret meets a lighter Y’ves St. Laurent La Nuit de l’Homme and Pitbull Man. These three scents are spicy scents. This has the distinct cardamon note that La Nuit and Pitbull both have and the nutmeg that is highlighted in Golden Secret as well as the common generic cedar note shared between the three. The scent is nice but a little bit generic.
The performance of Seduction in Black is a little lacking and this is what really hurts it to me. It is a moderate sillage performer but it don’t last too long before going into the skin scent territory. It does that for about an hour and it lasts a total of about four hours on my skin. It is better for a date than a club. Makes me glad I got 3 1.0oz/30ml bottles rather cheap on eBay.
I rate Seduction in Black a 6.8 out of 10. OK projection and decent longevity but a nice smell for a sometime cheap price.
attisfasidilm – :
It’s a pleasant generic scent with moderate performance. Smooth and low projection and moderate longevity about 3 hours. You must overspray yourself to be noticed for some time before it becomes a skin scent.
gavski – :
I bought it for my husband as a blind buy. The smell is something between Golden secret (but not so sweet) and Spirit (but not so spicy). I love it on my mans’ skin. It gives creamy vibes of tobacco and pepper.
demok2 – :
i dont get the blackcurrent or citrus vibe. it’s a clean scent. smell like a new car. took me 5-6 sprays before somebody notices the smell.
Tehnos – :
Well for starters this perfume base note is very similar to hugo boss selection.
On the contrary the stay and sillage of the perfume is a sad story.
Shollaweelype – :
Well, nothing special from this fragrce, tonka bean, nutmeg n probably coffee in opening. Not so strong, smooth and have a bad longevity. Just 2 hours on my skin.
Night and (maybe) romantic fragrance.
7/10 for at all.
elaineelaine – :
a steady fragrant with a nice mix of sweet, sour and bitter scents.
Voveindinia – :
Biasa saja, wangi lumayan entah manis entah pahit. Daya tahan bagus, crut jam 6 malam, pagi masih kecium samar.
sanek37 – :
Something sweet something bitter something powdery. I am not sure that it will fantasize me or not but I will give it a try.
Still a bottle full of this seduction inside my drawer and wait to explore.

It’s dry down quite awsome on fabrics. It turns in to something fresh on my nose. Love it for daily use with a little touch of elegance.

Stafeneorne – :
Seduction in Black is a wonderful fragrance that immaculately mixes gourmand and aquatic accords.
SiB opens with sweet ‘n creamy, juicy dark berry notes before quickly being accompanied by the gentle spices in the heart. It stays very linear until a sultry, almost soapy clean “wet” musk sweetened with amber and peppered with woodsy notes bring the journey to a soft, skin scent end.
There’s a nuance that gives SiB an aquatic feel. The tonka bean/vanilla vibe coupled with the nutmeg really play well together and create a gourmand aspect.
The first night I wore this fragrance, I got two compliments. Both caught me by surprise and truly solidified Seduction in Black’s desire to be taken seriously.
It’s easy to wear so it makes an excellent blind buy/gift for someone. As long as they are okay with sweeter smelling fragrances.
hoanuncnupe – :
Not too shabby..!! Smells great and I believe, very underrated. Seduction Black is a nicely done blend of amber, cardamom, musk, nutmeg, and tonka bean notes in which the combination is very easy on the nose. I was pleasantly surprised this morning. While the projection/sillage is within arm’s length distance, the longevity performance lasted most of the day and still solid on clothing. As noted in some previous reviews, I am not a fan of celebrity fragrances, but this one I might hang on to.. Probably geared more toward night time wear in fall or winter, Black is sufficiently “soft” to allow wear to most events and during most times of the year. The “price is right” for the novice collector to add to their collection. For the more experienced “frag head”, take a pass on Black unless you are “stuck” and need a fragrance – in that case, I can recommend adding to your collection. Final tally for Black is 3.9 stars out of 5 stars. Black is a solid “like”, but fails to carry the “umph” to achieve “love” status. Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting…
lacrimosa – :
Sorry I feel I have to say that I was disappointed to read above that certain people seem to think that men should smell like men and women like women which I find completely laughable,those days have been and gone thank goodness if these particular people can look in their perfume collection’s and say with a straight face they own nothing that contradicts their gender then I am the world’s first genuine gay man with fully functional fairy wings lol the days where scents had a gender are gone and IIMHO should never have existed but that’s the world we lived and live in. So to them I say if you like the smell wear it and to hell with you times have changed and so should you some of the sexiest scents I have come across have been colognes on women and visa versa,so come join us in the 21st century where scent has no gender.
yarenat – :
Just got one today, smells nice..
the only complaint is bad projection..
pachita – :
Just bought this fragrance as a surprise for my fiance. I was looking for something that would not give him or me a headache upon first spray, have modest sillage, and dry down to an attractive and uniquely masculine base.
The first note to my nose was the black currant, tonka, and bergamot. This was a lovely surprise because I was not expecting a mild berry smell. The dry down on a card was more cedary and also with the clothes. I would imagine on the skin, it will dry down better with some warmth helping out the various base notes. Can’t wait to give my fiance his first fragrance for men.
Also of interest was how it would mesh with my own new favorite perfume, Britney Spears Fantasy. Pleased to report that it made a very intriguing combination. As guest_ stated, I believe men should smell like men and women like women, but we can complement each other even in choice of fragrances. Great choice for younger men up to age 35, I would say. And kind on the wallet, too : ) So hurray for that!
iek901speagoessenda – :
I love the juicy opening of the blackcurrent.
It is reasonably priced and if it came with a more expensive name would probably get higher ratings.
The drydown is ok but just so.
A similar musk that can be found in others of this type.
It lasts
It projects
It appeals
And most important it leaves $ in my wallet to spend on the date.
I like most of Banderas offerings.
Always a good price to smile ratio.
Excellent stocking stuffer for xmas
Lina_emizebraabito – :
the bottles here are under the made in Spain label…
дучф3110 – :
In my past review of this fragrance, I said I didn’t think I would buy a bottle of it, since I didn’t know if I liked it that well or not. Well, I did buy a bottle of this recently. This truly is that good. I’m sort of disappointed that I can’t smell much of it on my skin after lets say, in 2-3 hrs and I put plenty of sprays on my neck.
I was surprised to see on the bottle that it says, “Made in Mexico”. That is such a different local of where it’s made at than most colognes or perfumes which are made here in the U.S. or in Europe. The bottle is nice but sorry to say the labeling has ink which is starting to wear down on the sides, but that doesn’t deter me from wearing and enjoying this fragrance. 🙂
sticker09 – :
When my man is wearing this, I literally cannot take my hands off of him. It is my Kryptonite and renders me defenseless.
segabotty – :
Great aroma; great longevity; great projection. Finally, great price. Really like the famous ‘Armani Code’ (‘Giorgio Armani’), this is more seductive & less stocky. Very good for the night.
Update.
No, it’s *not* like ‘Armani Code’. But yet, a great work.
hahol1990 – :
A budget fragrance that frequents the bottom shelf of most chain drugstores, Seduction In Black is a very good choice for men looking for something affordable, attractive, versatile and reliable for fall-spring. Given the price point, you can’t buy this expecting organic sophistication and reviewing it with the same standards as you would a fragrance with a budget five times as generous. After a few seconds of black currant bliss, Seduction in Black quickly restrains its moody, dark power towards a rather synthetic mix of background spices, bergamot and musky amber with the black currant and tonka bean taking center stage. This won’t appeal to the collector on the endless search for an organic masterpiece, but it’s absolutely perfect for beginners and people content with a handful of fragrances for casual use. It’s very attractive and sensual for a budget fragrance and the cold weather seems to bring out the spices and create a darker layer of mystery with the black currant. 3-5 hours longevity is the standard with moderate projection. The fragrance stays rather linear after the first few minutes until the end. One of the best budget options on the market for those looking for a winter oriental that can easily be worn in fall and spring as well. Overall: 7.25
stm7867737 – :
fresh, red sweet and dark.
When I first tried it I find it really awesome and well made. But when I tried other fragances, I feel it too synthetic and childish. Not a serious fragance.
vanodem – :
I tried it in a sample form recently. It’s not too bad. I’m not convinced enough to buy a whole bottle though. The weird thing about it, is it plays tricks on my nose,in that I think I smell pepermint & Chocalate,but after the drydown that scent is gone,and all I smell is the combo of other notes,I guess the amber and other spices. There’s no peppermint or chocalate notes in this fragrance.
Sprite – :
i’ve just picked up a bottle, the drydown smells alot like axe dark temptation, but it is a gorgeus smell, it has a medium projection for me and lasts about 4 – 5 hrs in hot weather, havent received any compliments yet but expecting one or more soon i hope 😀
the funny thing is if u smell the sprayer it smells like PR 1 million but its a whole different beast once sprayed, recommend it, its good for the price
_ALEJaNDRO_ – :
This smells similar to PACO RABANNE BLACK XS, but not as complex.
Anyway, given it’s cheaper price tag, this is a must-get if you like that sweet apple/berry hit.

martal – :
received plenty of compliments with this, mostly used for night but once in a while i will get em out for a bit of day use. Definitely a staple frag to have for me.
Reminds me of Black XS but less heavy and more fresh. Great in cold weather must try
217roz – :
I am one of those people who think that Armani Code is overpriced. This is almost armani Code, with the only difference being that this is slightly more fruity. To the untrained nose, however, it is Armani Code. The Sillage is quite weak but enough, the longevity is decent and the price fits the scent a lot better. For this type of fragrance, I prefer la nuit de l’homme and black diamond. Has stayed with me for seven hours so far and I still smell it around sometimes, especially when I move around, which makes me feel like this is worth a purchase again.
Meqxa416bedyWelty – :
Upon first spray and the first stage (about 20 minutes) this fragrance is the run-of-the-mill “black” eau de toilette. Think Armani Code, Polo Black, etc. However, being a flanker of Blue Seduction, it slowly turns back into Blue Seduction with aquatics coming more strong and the cappuccino note flirting with the apple. After a few hours, it’s about the same fragrance as Blue Seduction but a little sweeter and darker. I think this is a very fitting and appropriate flanker.
Жу4ара – :
Closest Flanker to Armani Code I know of. Little sweeter and notable Blackberry. The Tonka Bean has that sweet Almond like sweetness in the end. Rich, chemically enticing.
leshyi2011 – :
The way the blak currant is used gives the opening a basil like freshness. It does smell juicy throughout. The main notes seem to be tonka bean and the spices, mostly nutmeg. It is very similar to other oriental male scents, seeming to be a mixture of different ones. Anyway, these sweet and spicy male orientals seem to be very trendy these days, all smelling very much alike, copycats of one another. So, it is not only Antonio Banderas who suffers from that trendy lack of originality, even though one would expect it more from scents less expensive as his are. To me this scent comes across, nevetherless, as specially characterless, and the drydown, even after only two hours, is very very dull. I do not intend to wear it again.
sergiy6119 – :
huele como un fresco play intense, menos chocolatoso y menos intenso, la verdad prefiero el de givenchy ya q me encantan los olores a chocolate, pero este es una buena opcion si no tienes como pagar un play intense y quieres oler similar.
4273504 – :
Good for the price. But don´t expect anything special.
Nifer – :
Sinceramente es un perfume altamente recomendable por su olor y bajo precio. ES de esos perfumes que hacen la diferencia al resto, me paso que estaba oliendo algunos perfumes y todos me parecían igual hasta que Oli ese. Huele bien desde la primera fase del perfume hasta que deja de oler. Su duración es moderada tampoco esperen oler todo el día pero dura siempre.
Moncler Down Jackets – :
smells really nice but poor longevity and sillage.
YAN131313 – :
smells good , I love it.
dm_annenkoviv – :
Really nice! Like twlahue said some reviews before, Seduction in Black is a mix of Blue Seduction and Givenchy Play Intense. And I would say that this fragrance has a little ressemblance with La Nuit de L’Homme too.
It lasts, but it could be better in projection. For that reason, it’s great for romantic occasions, and nice & innofensive for office.
Those who say this fragrance is a copypaste of Armani Code… Uhmm well… seriously, go to check your nose, please..
And it’s more masculine than the most of black/sweet masculine fragrances.
andriy025 – :
in the never ending pursuit of the “latest and greatest” fragrances, it is easy to pass this one up. but there is more to this one then you might expect. it will never be a “classic” but don’t underestimate its’ simple, and tasteful character. everyone you meet will like this understated fragrance.

Quando pela primeira vez experimentei não me intusiasmou muito, mas…logo a seguir, como é que posso dizer? Meu Deus , que aroma sublime! Sexy, frutado mas não em demasia, envolvente… vale mesmo a pena , é fantastico!!
Well done Banderas!!
dikiy55555 – :
Seduction in Black really lives up to its name. The black currant and bergamot in the opening gives you a sweet, almost edible opening; the spices in the middle sets the romantic mood; the tonka bean, amber, musk, and cedar in the base will have everyone asking who is that smelling so good. This is a very balmy fragrance; so you can’t overspray – it will cause a headache. This was done similarly to Armani Code, La Nuit De L’homme, Ferragamo Black, etc. Last about 6 – 8 hours with 4 sprays (2 front neck, 1 chest, 1 to back of neck). Makes the wife pretty wild.

I am personally a big fan of Antonio Banderas , to keep it short this is my second bottle,smells fantastic , its like guys ask me everyday to tell them which perfume im wearing and i tell them azzaro , i dont want any competiton . 😛 😀

it is masculine and sexy scent for men. and turn me on all the time. I would love to buy it for my man
Viktorak45 – :
Antonio Black Seduction is sexy sweet fragrance for men. The smell is awesome and smooth. Need more sprays for good projection. The projection is good for 2 hours & Longevity is about 4 hours on my skin, then gets close to skin. But this is great for romance. U can wear for dating. For good projection u must spray some on ur cloths. This one suits only for young guys. Projection:5, Longevity:5, I give 6/10. I Love it.

scent : 5/10 (cheaper version of armani code)

I have recently bought this perfume, which at the start reminded me of a deo- i kinda hate.. which it is not.. However, this is a perfume which is “sweet”… And its logentivity is good. I did check with the girls in the office… and i did get a thumbs up… Nice price too…

this is my 2nd bottle of AB seduction in black.lovely juice for men, stay on my skin 10+ hours, great projection,great sillage, very masculine scent.And the best part is great value 🙂
garik6661313 – :
My fiance normally wears Drakkar Noir, but decided to branch out one day and purchase this at CVS for a really good price. I was stunned at how good this smelled-it has a little bit of an aquatic vibe actually even though it’s categorized as a spicy oriental. We happened to be at a wedding that night and he was getting compliments galore. I love this scent on him, and it lasts forever. We could still smell this the next morning. Very nice quality for a celeb fragrance and excellent sillage and longevity.
Kusok73 – :
Very nice fragrance, no doubt the best celebrity fragrance available in the market. Very stylish. 🙂
alexita88 – :
i like the smell…. =)
scrsnseabrookwvh67 – :
the best celebrity fragrance i might say.
smells so delicate, and has a creamy tonka and vanilla dry down. reminds me of armani black code, but way more cheaper.
i don’t have longevity issues with this frag. 6-8 hours on my skin.
the opening is kinda similar with antonio banderas blue seduction, but a bit more creamier, if you know what i mean. less citrusy, a bit more sweetier.
very underrated for celeb fragrance. i think it’s worth to try.
recommended for evening wear, and very versatile, not just for fall and winter, it’s all season frag.
longevity : 8/10
projection : 7/10
overall smell : 7.5/10
great replacement for armani code, and YSL la nuit de l’homme.
igaryok62 – :
This cologne smells like Blue Seduction mixed with just a bit of Givenchy Play Intense. I love both colognes very much, however I still have some reservation about this one. At this point I like it, but don’t love it. I love Play Intense, it is one of my favorites, but I am not sure I like the drydown of Play Intense all that much. After about 6 hours Play Intense, kind of goes in a direction, I am not as fond of. Seduction in Black starts where Play Intense ends. It smells like Blue Seduction, mixed with Play Intense’s drydown. Very good, but I am going to have to spend some more time with it to see if it goes up or down on my list.
Deroxzjtjk – :
Nice clean fresh scent but nothing special.
Blackcurrant does provide a pleasant feel but cardamom gives extra sweetness. Do I love it? no, Do I like it? well,,,yah.
Poor sillage and longevity.
Scent score= 7/10.

THIS IS AWESOME.. Outstanding Fragrance.. The blackcurrant is fantastic.. One of the few unique fragrances.. A very good buy.

This smells fabulous. It is intense and sexy. Somehow I can’t see my skinny white husband wearing it though.
ВАР – :
This is good product, especially carrying the house of antonio puig, back in 90’s I wore aqua cuorum, same maker of antonio banderas fragrances. I think spanish brand (loewe,mango,zara,springfield) blooms in asia and develops itself, competing with other prestigious brands from france,german,UK. For the two with perfume product, I adore loewe and antonio banderas.
cvu154intitytek – :
sweet and sexy!not a wow,it’s mild and soft,but it smells good.
to my nose it starts with fresh mint note mixed with something sweet and instantly gets sweeter.
I see why some people has claimed to can be unisex;because it’s sweet.but I disagree.who says every single perfume with some sweet notes should be considered unisex?!I like men to smell a bit sweet,not too spicy,nor too woody.so it’s ok.
I like this pleasant seductive cologne.it’s got higher quality than a celebrity perfume.but I should remark that it’s very mild and I doubt if the long lasting power would be good.
sKotik – :
my friend have it n armani code,he’s say that both have similiar smell,make me curious!so i must prove itself..
at first test,i went to perfume shop,n comparing direct both of them on same time,YES both of them have similiar smell,especially on the base note.
still dont believe with my olfactory,i make 2nd test using my friend cologne,of course at the same time,code on my right wrist,the others on left,,i have no doubt anymore,both of them are similiar!
what can make different on my nose,code is more “sparkling” (maybe from lemon/olive blossom/tobacco??) than seduction black is more “sweet” (maybe from black currant/cardamom/tonka bean??),especially on top-heart note,,the base not really different.
my opinion,this is cheap version from armani code but have same quality..
so dont think twice,grab it soon!!
definitely girl magnet,MUST HAVE!!
=)
kiabcag3 – :
Tried it today. An oriental in the same way, maybe, of Zegna Intenso, but with a bit of the sweetness of Blue Seduction. Less sweet though. Nice and pleasant, easy to wear. I need to take a second look but, for now, better than Blue.
seeglisee – :
Blue Seduction was pleasant, but this truly is seduction caped in sheer black. It’s similar to Yves Saint Laurent’s La Nuit de l’Homme. You can almost detect leather accords within Mr. Antonio’s dark sequel. I thought maybe I’d get my hopes up and the alcohol might dominate this fragrance, but it leveled very smoothly. This is a romantic, warm-spicy oriental you can appreciate on the right occasion. Antonio is underrated due to poor marketing strategies. If Paris Hilton and Britney Spears Fragrances can have the luxury of sitting on a Macy’s counter top, the Seduction duo could very well receive the same respect.
