The r/fragrance community holds Bvlgari Black in high regard as a cult classic, particularly the original 1990s formulation with its distinctive dark vanilla and burnt rubber character. While discontinued and difficult to replace, fans remain passionate about the scent and actively seek alternatives or hoard remaining bottles, though most suggested dupes disappoint compared to the original.
