Rum-soaked leather and tuberose in a benzoin embrace — a Roman noir protagonist, impeccably dressed and carrying secrets in every pocket.
Era & Context
Modern
Man in Black marked Bulgari's reinvention of its masculine line, trading the clean tea-based aesthetic of earlier offerings for a dark, leathery orientalism. Alberto Morillas created a rum-leather-tuberose triad that elevated the house's masculine portfolio to serious contender status.
