  1. The first thing you smell in Black Evening is that touch of sweet osmanthus, a controlled and elegant sweetness that envelops without overwhelming. A few minutes later, the saffron begins to shine with a spiced warmth that blends with the leather, creating a refined accord. The result is a fine and discreet fragrance with character. The longevity is excellent, perfectly perceptible for over eight hours, and evolves into something more intimate and warm, like a luxury garment in winter. Ideal for cold days or elegant evenings when you want to smell of class and serenity. A sober and modern fragrance that proves elegance doesn’t need to shout.

    The best quality-to-price leather perfume on the market. An absolute beast with an addictive scent. Any collector must own it. It’s a pleasure to wear in any season, even in summer at night.

    The best value-for-money leather scent on the market. A beast, an addictive aroma. Any collector must have it. A pleasure in any season, even in summer at night.

    Good heavens, what a wonderful perfume! A powerful leather and saffron opening that quickly balances with floral notes that gain strength as it dries down. Absolutely addictive. It seems the longevity is very good and projects strongly for the first three hours. It reminded me a lot of Ombre Leather Parfum for those more marked floral notes. As for quality, it leaves many more expensive perfumes in the dust. I completely agree with the previous review. Marvelous.

  5. I’ve been wearing this perfume for almost a year and it’s time to update my opinion. This is an ABSOLUTE MARVEL, with performance that makes most designer perfumes look pale. If you like leather, Black Evening for €30 is a gift. I’ve just bought a second bottle.

    Very similar to Tom Ford Ombre Leather. Projection and longevity are brutal and nothing short of perfect. Perfect for a leather jacket and a winter outfit.

  7. Honestly, I didn’t expect much. It doesn’t resemble the Tom Ford ones. It reminded me of a mechanic’s workshop with red berries and floral undertones. The saffron and olive are very noticeable, along with the leather as it dries. Perhaps it takes a bit at first, but then you fall in love with it. I don’t see it for dates, more for going out with friends or private enjoyment.

  8. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. It doesn’t resemble anything from Tom Ford. The scent reminded me of a mechanic’s garage mixed with red fruits and some background florals. The saffron and olive are very noticeable, along with the leather as it dries. It’s a fragrance that perhaps takes a while to grow on you, but then you fall in love with those scents. I’m not sure if I’d wear it for dates or meetings. I see it as more informal (going out with friends) and for private enjoyment.

  9. The Tom Ford leather DNA with, this time yes, a perceptible undeclared note of red fruits. It lasts well although it doesn’t seem to be a projection bomb. For the price it has, it deserves a good rating!

  10. The opening is spectacular with the osmanthus and a very sharp saffron giving way to soft leather with a slightly more floral touch than red fruits; the dry down is very elegant. A fragrance that although it reminds me of others, I find quite original, stay away if you are a fan of conventional fragrances and remember, don’t over-spray, it lasts and projects as many would wish.

  12. At first I thought it smelled too much, typical, and I told myself I wasn’t up for this today. But after 30 minutes, that leather had me absolutely blown away. Today is 14 February and I tested it three days ago… and my jumper still smells of it.

    The best of all in terms of value for money. Enigmatic impact, like burnt clutch or plastic, but addictive and then it turns floral. Exquisite and long-lasting.

    I own it and love it. Smells of realistic leather, like opening the box of new shoes, with a strong note of red berries.
