Pictures

After Pure Black fragrance from 2009, Mandarina Duck launches its flanker Cool Black in early 2013. Cool Black is a sporty edition intended for active men who lead dynamic lives.

The scent was developed by perfumer Nathalie Lorson as aromatic-fruity-woody. Fresh and intensely bitter flavors of bergamot, lemon peel and black pepper are placed at the top. Natural scent of violet in the heart is enhanced by aromatic hyssop and elemi resin. The base contains cedar, moss and musk.

It is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Cool Black Fragrance Reviews

I just got the bottle today, and it is nice.

Here is why it is nice....Because it reminds me exactly of "Black."

There is very little difference between the two. There is just a hair more citrus, and I mean a hair more.

I am a little disappointed that they made something so similar. I was hoping for a real athletic/energetic summer scent.

Honestly, if you have "Black" save your money as they smell almost identical.

EDIT--------- After wearing it on my hands for two days, I can say the drydown is where the main difference occurs. It has less pepper/tonka and more atheltic (citrus/spicy/wood) smell which is actually pretty great.VERY masculine.

I think this can be my Summer or winter scent. I would take this over "Black" as I love the masculine sportiness to it.

Longevity = Decent, not as good as "Black" but not terrible.
Sillage = Not bad. Again, not as strong as original.

Overall: Super masculine scent with a great touch of sport. If you have original it might be good to compare the two to see if you like the sporty or the original.

I've tested it now. Fits the name, it's just a fresh version of Black.

I'm tired to see fresh, sport or cool flankers wich hasn't nothing in common with the original fragrances. Cool Black is like Black with toned down warm notes, and the fresh notes were toned up. No more, no less. But this could be a double edged weapon too.

Would I buy it having the original? I don't know. Don't get me wrong, this is better than thousand of fresh fragrances, it's not generic, not synthetic at all, but... While the original is great, this is just very nice.

The sweetness remains in Cool Black, but with less vanilla & tonka and more citrus & woods. It's like the the top notes of the original with some citrus.

However after 12 hours, they smell almost the same but a little bit muskier on this.

If you like the original Pure Black, it's 90% sure you'll like this, and probably you'll be found yourself in my same situation (i don't know if buy it). If you haven't the original but you like it, this could be a nice buy for this summer.

It lasts as Pure Black, but the sillage here is a little (only a little) lower.
