Idesa Parfums introduces a new fragrance for men: Mandarina Duck PURE BLACK. Pure Black is minimalist, linear, clean. Full of strength and character, it looks for a man who believes in the essence of things. An intense and aromatic fragrance, created by perfumer Nathalie Lorson (Firmenich), it is both modern and captivating.
The surprising top note is original and contains an exotic element. Indian pepper, essential since antiquity, is enveloped in a sparkling citrus cocktail of bergamot and Mediterranean tangerine. A fresh and natural Mediterranean blend.
The middle notes reveal the elegant masculinity of its essence, thanks to its Tonka beans and its complex blend of sweet registers, which go all the way from tobacco to vanilla. The whole is enriched by touches of Tahitian Tiare flower and Orange flower, which also add purity and gentleness. The bottom notes reveal the sensuality and warmth of mixed noble woods such as Mysore sandalwood from New Caledonia and green cedar from the Atlas, as well as the elegant note of Madagascar vanilla. Essential, pure. Clean and enveloping. Dark and warm. Masculine. Mandarina Duck - PURE BLACK.The fragrance, firstly launched in Spain in January, will enter other Middle East, European, Latinoamerican and Asian markets during the first quarter of 2009.

I have to agree with those members who said its amazing the quality of this juice considering how affordable it is, i got it today and i had to put this review before many other i was on my list to do.
wonderfull fragance a little unisex at the end of drydown but at then it is so close to the skin that it could be a pro indeed so wear it when its night out or a special date too.
My, my, my...I bought MDPB at the advice of a dear friend and wasn't he spot on! This fragrance definitely has a sweet and yet smoky tone to it that works and blends wonderfully. The notes of pepper, vanilla and an energizing orange peel feel give it an enticing, sensual and soothing effect. The drydown keeps you interested as the notes all come out to play; this frag has great longevity and sillage. I'm ever so surprise that this cologne is so affordable and it would be a great addition to anyone's repertoire. Mandarina Duck Pure Black has slowly become my personal favorites
Longevity 8/10
Sillage 8/10
Scent 9/10
جميييل جدآ وفتان
awsome frag i love these kind of fragrances sweet and sexy packs a punch love it
I don't likey. There's a synthetic smell and the rest is not interesting enough IMO. sorry
es un grandisimo perfume, muy poco conocido y huele muy a haba tonka y vainilla, tambien me parece q tienemucha similitud con laguna de salvador daly.
Why do people compare this to Allure by Chanel? Nothing alike and I think Allure is so overrated as well as the next aqua di gio. forgotten. I dont even think Allure is even nice. So many fragrances that top Allure and it has so much hype that your disappointed when you try it because your left like, um, thats it? Pure black is much better and not in the same category!
Im telling you all, its the Tonka beans inside this thing that makes it amazing. Everything with Tonka beans is amazing and unique and memorable.
Some that have Tonka beans: Burberry Touch, Brit, Hermes Vetiver Tonka, Joop, V by Valentino, Dior Homme Intense, Polo Black, Gucci II pour homme, Hermes Elixer, JPG Le Male, YSL L'homme, Libre etc,
Manly smell...Pure Black is purely amazing....Love it so much =)
i just bought one , and i love it
not a very popular brand name but the scent is fantastic
give it a try
Wow, this is fantastic. I have been waiting a long time to get this and it is worth the wait. The comparisons below are spot on. It feels like a cross between ghost man and Jil sander man to me. The pepper and tobacco provide a good juxtaposition to the sweetness of the orange,vanilla and tonka.
I am looking forward to wearing this out for the evening. I'm sure it is a compliment magnet but that is not too important to me as this is the kind if scent that just makes you feel great.
Tonka and Vanilla.
I bought this for my brother, and it turned out to be a good choice!
There's a soft, round note which smells a bit like plum jam. The base is warm and woody. The vanilla is not foody at all, it just softens the clean, clear notes of cedarwood.
I'm guessing it'll smell better in colder weather, it would be a perfect autumn scent! Warm and comfortable.
I am a cologne junkie in addition to being a men's fragrance salesman. I have smelled a great many fragrances, obviously, and I have NEVER, ever, evereverevereverever...smelled a scent as effing amazing as Pure Black. I have 2 large bottles of it on my shelf. I do like to keep my personal stock up. ;)
There is just no way to fully convey the awesometasticness of MDPB to the uninitiated. Yes, it's sweet. Okay, maybe it does smell a little like pipe tobacco up front. On the skin...oh my. The Indian Pepper and woodsy undertones start popping. I can never wear this in public and not have a woman come up to me or comment on it. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm pretty damned hot, but when you add the fragrance...it's a lady killer.
It's awesome that it isn't available at all retailers, to be sure, which is why I am grateful to have it at my disposal for those guys looking for a surefire, and do excuse the base parlance here, panty dropper. I had one cat to whom I sold a bottle return to me, declare me a fragrance deity, and regaled me with tales of carnal conquest which began with one sniff of PB. He said one girl even bit him. lol I think MDPB is just...it's the business. The shiz. Period.
hands down one of the best love the opening vrysweet but also very strong and tough i could smell it all day
It is found at Dillards....It is sexy in a bottle. I go crazy for this...hands down the best cologne for a guy or a daring woman'
One of the best fragrances I ever try!
The fragrance is sweet, tropical, warm, modern and quite long lasting. The projection is amazing, this will work great for going to hit the clubs.
The first fragrance that came in my mind when i first try it, was Escada Magnetism. It's similar also with 1 million but this it's more manly, thanks to the tobacco and pepper notes.
IMO Pure Black can be worn all year around, but only in the evening.
IF YOU LIKE SWEET MODERN FRAGRANCES YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO TRY PURE BLACK!
smells alot like chanel allure, but with a bit more vanilla. it also has a tiny bit less sharp cedar than allure. i love allure, but this one actually comes across a little smoother,
lasts a good 6-8 hours and projects well.
an excellent sweet, scent:
i get almonds, vanilla, and orange blossoms
Love this product at the first spray. Very modern, unique, simple, and sensual fragrance. I'm really glad that I can find this product here in Indonesia.
I absolutely love this fragrance and so does my boyfriend. First purchased it in Tenerife last year. I really want to get him some for Christmas this year, can anyone tell me where I can purchase it online - I can't seem to find anywhere anymore :-(
Best fragrance. Use it all the time
I bought it for my boyfriend for valentines day and the one word that comes to mind is "yummy!".
I found it lovely, is my favourite since I first used it.
So beautiful, full of happiness and mystery! Totally satisfactory in shape and in content. I really do like it :)
I found the heart and the base of it in between of Ted Lapidus Pour Lui and Ghost Man.
