Byblos is launching a new fragrance for men, In Black, aiming at contemporary man who is practical and entrepreneurial, but also very meticulous about his looks and style. The new fragrance is announces as the essence of masculinity offering contradictory aspects – emotions and reason, dreams and reality, elegance and strictness.
The dynamic and masculine composition is created by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny. The fragrance opens with strong notes of grapefruit and neroli along with a spicy black pepper note. Dynamic opening softens with fine fir tree resin in a heart combined with geranium and Daim accords.
A base continues win woody rhythm of accords of vetiver from Haiti, Indonesian patchouli, natural cedar, along with warm aromas of Tonka from Venezuela and benzoin from Laos. The fragrance is constructed as citrusy-woody-aromatic.
Top notes: grapefruit, neroli, black pepper
Heart: geranium, fir tree resin, Daim accord
Base: vetiver, patchouli, cedar, tonka, benzoin
Flacon of Byblos in Black is made of glass and colored in iridescent nuances of black and grey, announcing the fragrant liquid it hides. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100ml EDP accompanied with perfumed body care products (After Shave, All Over Shower Gel Shampoo and Deo Stick).
In Black was launched in 2011.

Johnny Buoy and shogun are right on the money, this is very much like Terre D'Hermes (another cheapy that smells a bit like the Hermes is UDV Action). It is also a lot cheaper, I got 100ml for $15 on sale. It has been a while since I tried the T D'H and did not care too much for it, but I really like the Byblos, I think it is because there is not the strong orange in Byblos. On me this warm woody rich fragrance lasts a long time, though the sillage isn't great.

... I just bought it last night, as my wife gave that to me as a gift. First I used that on my skin, the fancy smell (which I hate the most) embraced on my nose. I agree, it's only for daylight work office hours perfumes ...

If you like Terre d'Hermes, then I am sure you will like this one.
I bought a bottle that was on special today. I was pleasantly surprised.
I would say this is not for the young night cluber, but is ideal for professional office workers.
Apart from reminding me of Terre d'Hermes, it also reminds me of Montale Red Vetiver.

Very nice. I feel that I am wearing Terre d'Hermes after 15 min. of applying it.

This one is one of the most contemporary scent I've ever smelt. There's no joint to vintage style. All it displays is a linear mellow and freshening theme. It's casual and easy going, easy to wear and comforting.
For the first time, I got only bitter scent but focusing again on it I got something delicious and sweet perfectly blended within the mixture, something that smells like gummy candy.
So I think I disagree a little to similarity between this and Terre d'Hermes though the undertone and backgrounds are parallel; try both again. They're obviously distinguished by the dusty smell of Terre and tidy transparent smell of In Black.
It's modern, neat, smart and attractive.
It's formal rather than casual and brings you lots of complements in office time; so so so chic and handsome.
longevity: well it's a parfum one and great but stay perfect only on skin, 9/10
projection: not bad but could be stronger 7/10

Don't 'stay away', try it. It's not my type either but it's actually ok.
It starts with light citruses and a hard pepper note on a woody body with a subtle resin. The grapefruit dies off for the drydown so it nit harsh, just pleasant.
If you like Marc Jacobs Bang, this is a lil more wearable.
