Black, a Warm Aromatic Fougere

Black for Men was Roberto Cavalli’s take on a classic aromatic fougere with a modern, wearable finish. Our version keeps that smooth character, opening with coriander and tarragon before easing into lavender, pepper, and a warm base of tonka, musk, and cedar.

The Story Behind the Scent

Roberto Cavalli built Black for Men as an approachable, everyday fougere, the kind of scent a man reaches for without much thought. It nods to the classic barbershop style while keeping things soft and contemporary.

Its strength is in the balance. The herbal, spicy opening gives it energy, the lavender heart keeps it clean, and the tonka and musk base makes it warm and comfortable. Since it was discontinued, it has become harder to track down. Our interpretation keeps that easy, confident character available.
