La comunità di r/fragrance considera Bvlgari Black un classico di culto molto apprezzato, in particolare la formulazione originale degli anni '90 con il suo caratteristico profumo di vaniglia scura e gomma bruciata. Sebbene sia stato discontinuato e difficile da reperire, i fan rimangono appassionati del profumo e cercano attivamente alternative o accumulano le bottiglie rimaste, anche se la maggior parte dei dupe suggeriti delude rispetto all'originale.
