I have it: 187 I had it: 55 I want it: 86 My signature: 3
A seductive man in a dark suit follows daringly after Blue Seduction, last year's seducer, while raising strength of the composition on a new level.
Oriental notes of amber are mixed with warm, woody accords in a very juicy and spicy way, along with fresh and sensual notes. Top notes include luminous sparkles of bergamot with tart zests of black currant. A heart of the masculine fragrance Seduction in Black is filled with fiery spicy notes: coriander, cardamom, and nutmeg, while a base hides woody notes of cedar, Tonka, amber and musk.
Its package is intriguing, designed of matt black and shiny black texture, with an elegant, silver logotype and name of the fragrance printed on its package. The fragrance has been available since 2009 in amounts of 50 and 100 ml EDT.

Good for the price. But don´t expect anything special.
Sinceramente es un perfume altamente recomendable por su olor y bajo precio. ES de esos perfumes que hacen la diferencia al resto, me paso que estaba oliendo algunos perfumes y todos me parecían igual hasta que Oli ese. Huele bien desde la primera fase del perfume hasta que deja de oler. Su duración es moderada tampoco esperen oler todo el día pero dura siempre.
smells really nice but poor longevity and sillage.
smells good , I love it.
Really nice! Like twlahue said some reviews before, Seduction in Black is a mix of Blue Seduction and Givenchy Play Intense. And I would say that this fragrance has a little ressemblance with La Nuit de L'Homme too.
It lasts, but it could be better in projection. For that reason, it's great for romantic occasions, and nice & innofensive for office.
Those who say this fragrance is a copypaste of Armani Code... Uhmm well... seriously, go to check your nose, please..
And it's more masculine than the most of black/sweet masculine fragrances.
in the never ending pursuit of the "latest and greatest" fragrances, it is easy to pass this one up. but there is more to this one then you might expect. it will never be a "classic" but don't underestimate its' simple, and tasteful character. everyone you meet will like this understated fragrance.
Something to wear before hitting the bed !!!
Quando pela primeira vez experimentei não me intusiasmou muito, mas...logo a seguir, como é que posso dizer? Meu Deus , que aroma sublime! Sexy, frutado mas não em demasia, envolvente... vale mesmo a pena , é fantastico!!
Well done Banderas!!
Seduction in Black really lives up to its name. The black currant and bergamot in the opening gives you a sweet, almost edible opening; the spices in the middle sets the romantic mood; the tonka bean, amber, musk, and cedar in the base will have everyone asking who is that smelling so good. This is a very balmy fragrance; so you can't overspray - it will cause a headache. This was done similarly to Armani Code, La Nuit De L'homme, Ferragamo Black, etc. Last about 6 - 8 hours with 4 sprays (2 front neck, 1 chest, 1 to back of neck). Makes the wife pretty wild.
I am personally a big fan of Antonio Banderas , to keep it short this is my second bottle,smells fantastic , its like guys ask me everyday to tell them which perfume im wearing and i tell them azzaro , i dont want any competiton . :P :D
Its my personal favorite that i apply and go everywhere.
I just adore it...my best friend has it :)
I just adore it...my best friend has it :)
just had it delivered before i was leaving for work. the scent is pretty decent and nice.. but not very long lasting, very poor projection...just expect a good fragrance and nothing else. but the price beats it all.
it is not bad .not luxury perfume but ok when you havent alot of mony to buy expensive perfume.
i used it before one year ago and i found it nice
and i used the blue seduction too
it is masculine and sexy scent for men. and turn me on all the time. I would love to buy it for my man
YSL la nuit's sexy brother. Definitely worth the price. Medium sillage, 5-7 hours longevity. Caution with over-application, can get cloying if using more than 3 sprays.
Antonio Black Seduction is sexy sweet fragrance for men. The smell is awesome and smooth. Need more sprays for good projection. The projection is good for 2 hours & Longevity is about 4 hours on my skin, then gets close to skin. But this is great for romance. U can wear for dating. For good projection u must spray some on ur cloths. This one suits only for young guys. Projection:5, Longevity:5, I give 6/10. I Love it.
totalmente recomendable, olor bueno para la noche y vestir bien de negro, atrae mucho a las chicas, laverdad causa tanta atracción como la q causa la nuit, usenlo se los recomiendo.
Tonka, sweet Vanilla, smooth Powdery. Matures to a Vanilla/Berry.... Previous reviewer says it's like Axe Dark Temptation... and this is true! wow. But this is far more tolerable...
That Vanilla-like sweetness that seems to stay the whole time after it matures? vaguely of Cinnamon? That's Tonka Bean. Which is one of the main notes of Armani Code. But I like this better. The Black currant is a richer sweetness than the citrus of Armani. Tonka is an attention getter, and people seem to love this on me. Tonka Bean all the way to the end. The spices and berries are there, but stays very close to the skin.
... BETTER than Armani Code!
huele muy parecido al axe dark temptatión, huele a chocolate y mas chocolate, recomendados por su buen olor y bajo costo.
for me, defiantly headache inducer.
a lot of vanilla and cardamom in there.
as most of the reviews says , it's really cheaper version of armani code.
longevity : 7/10 (3 to 4 hours)
sillage : 4/10 (poor - so close to the skin)
scent : 5/10 (cheaper version of armani code)
I have recently bought this perfume, which at the start reminded me of a deo- i kinda hate.. which it is not.. However, this is a perfume which is "sweet"... And its logentivity is good. I did check with the girls in the office... and i did get a thumbs up... Nice price too...
this is my 2nd bottle of AB seduction in black.lovely juice for men, stay on my skin 10+ hours, great projection,great sillage, very masculine scent.And the best part is great value :)
Copy Paste Armani Code Man
My fiance normally wears Drakkar Noir, but decided to branch out one day and purchase this at CVS for a really good price. I was stunned at how good this smelled-it has a little bit of an aquatic vibe actually even though it's categorized as a spicy oriental. We happened to be at a wedding that night and he was getting compliments galore. I love this scent on him, and it lasts forever. We could still smell this the next morning. Very nice quality for a celeb fragrance and excellent sillage and longevity.
If you like blackcurrants you should try this.Good scent,good longevity,good price,great product.If this juice came in a bottle with a designer label it would be much more popular.
Very nice fragrance, no doubt the best celebrity fragrance available in the market. Very stylish. :)
i like the smell.... =)
the best celebrity fragrance i might say.
smells so delicate, and has a creamy tonka and vanilla dry down. reminds me of armani black code, but way more cheaper.
i don't have longevity issues with this frag. 6-8 hours on my skin.
the opening is kinda similar with antonio banderas blue seduction, but a bit more creamier, if you know what i mean. less citrusy, a bit more sweetier.
very underrated for celeb fragrance. i think it's worth to try.
recommended for evening wear, and very versatile, not just for fall and winter, it's all season frag.
longevity : 8/10
projection : 7/10
overall smell : 7.5/10
great replacement for armani code, and YSL la nuit de l'homme.
This cologne smells like Blue Seduction mixed with just a bit of Givenchy Play Intense. I love both colognes very much, however I still have some reservation about this one. At this point I like it, but don't love it. I love Play Intense, it is one of my favorites, but I am not sure I like the drydown of Play Intense all that much. After about 6 hours Play Intense, kind of goes in a direction, I am not as fond of. Seduction in Black starts where Play Intense ends. It smells like Blue Seduction, mixed with Play Intense's drydown. Very good, but I am going to have to spend some more time with it to see if it goes up or down on my list.
Nice clean fresh scent but nothing special.
Blackcurrant does provide a pleasant feel but cardamom gives extra sweetness. Do I love it? no, Do I like it? well,,,yah.
Poor sillage and longevity.
Scent score= 7/10.
THIS IS AWESOME.. Outstanding Fragrance.. The blackcurrant is fantastic.. One of the few unique fragrances.. A very good buy.
This smells fabulous. It is intense and sexy. Somehow I can't see my skinny white husband wearing it though.
I have it and it smells great, its not the best in the market but i personally love how i smell with it, have gotten good compliments. You can't go wrong for the price just buy it.
PS: I also have armani code and they do not smell similar.
This is good product, especially carrying the house of antonio puig, back in 90's I wore aqua cuorum, same maker of antonio banderas fragrances. I think spanish brand (loewe,mango,zara,springfield) blooms in asia and develops itself, competing with other prestigious brands from france,german,UK. For the two with perfume product, I adore loewe and antonio banderas.
sweet and sexy!not a wow,it's mild and soft,but it smells good.
to my nose it starts with fresh mint note mixed with something sweet and instantly gets sweeter.
I see why some people has claimed to can be unisex;because it's sweet.but I disagree.who says every single perfume with some sweet notes should be considered unisex?!I like men to smell a bit sweet,not too spicy,nor too woody.so it's ok.
I like this pleasant seductive cologne.it's got higher quality than a celebrity perfume.but I should remark that it's very mild and I doubt if the long lasting power would be good.
seduction in black is awesome... if u wear it,u smell edible. its as simple as that. its a great scent
my friend have it n armani code,he's say that both have similiar smell,make me curious!so i must prove itself..
at first test,i went to perfume shop,n comparing direct both of them on same time,YES both of them have similiar smell,especially on the base note.
still dont believe with my olfactory,i make 2nd test using my friend cologne,of course at the same time,code on my right wrist,the others on left,,i have no doubt anymore,both of them are similiar!
what can make different on my nose,code is more "sparkling" (maybe from lemon/olive blossom/tobacco??) than seduction black is more "sweet" (maybe from black currant/cardamom/tonka bean??),especially on top-heart note,,the base not really different.
my opinion,this is cheap version from armani code but have same quality..
so dont think twice,grab it soon!!
definitely girl magnet,MUST HAVE!!
=)
I bought it yesterday. I liked it a lot.
ESTE PERFUME DE ANTONIO BANDERAS ME SORPRENDIO GRATAMENTE Y LA VERDAD ME GUSTARIA COMPRARLO. LO SENTI BASTANTE SIMILAR AL BLUE SEDUCTION PERO EL BLACK ES MAS CALIDO, IGUALMENTE MANTIENE CIERTAS NOTAS FRESCAS APORTADAS POR LA BERGAMOTA Y EL CARDAMOMO. EL CAPUCCINO ES UN POCO MAS NOTORIO, TAMBIEN SENTI LA GROSELLA (NO MUCHO) Y UN TOQUE DULCE TIPO VAINILLA (QUIZAS SEA EL CEDRO O LA TONKA). LO RECOMIENDO PARA SALIDAS NOCTURNAS PERO TAMBIEN EN EL DIA, PREFERENTEMENTE EN OTOÑO O INVIERNO.ME GUSTA MUCHO Y NO ESTOY DE ACUERDO CON QUIENES LO DESCALIFICAN. LO RECOMIENDO ABSOLUTAMENTE.
Tried it today. An oriental in the same way, maybe, of Zegna Intenso, but with a bit of the sweetness of Blue Seduction. Less sweet though. Nice and pleasant, easy to wear. I need to take a second look but, for now, better than Blue.
Blue Seduction was pleasant, but this truly is seduction caped in sheer black. It's similar to Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de l'Homme. You can almost detect leather accords within Mr. Antonio's dark sequel. I thought maybe I'd get my hopes up and the alcohol might dominate this fragrance, but it leveled very smoothly. This is a romantic, warm-spicy oriental you can appreciate on the right occasion. Antonio is underrated due to poor marketing strategies. If Paris Hilton and Britney Spears Fragrances can have the luxury of sitting on a Macy's counter top, the Seduction duo could very well receive the same respect.
I was searching through the colognes today looking for a nice, simple fragrence for a friend of mine. He doesn't wear cologne so i thought maybe he should? And then i came across this. once i got a wiff of it i couldn't resist. It drew me in so deeply i couldn't let go, this cologne is the best i've ever smelt and i will never go for any other one than Seduction in black.
I can't understand the previous review. Maybe I am un unsophisticated, trailer trash woman or something, but I like it alot. Two reasons, I am opposed to any scent that is unisex... I want to smell like a woman and I want men to smell like men. We have different hormones, different chemistry. We are complimentary but not interchangable. I like that this scent is clearly masculine. Also, I don't want to spend money on something that, once sprayed becomes so subtle, you might as well have saved the money and worn nothing. This scent is noticable, pleasant, masculine and long lasting.
