Description
The gurus Turin and Sanchez give this 5 stars and reckon this one of the very best fragrances of all time, devoting a whole page to a description of it.
To quote just on part of it:
"At different time Black will strike you variously as a battle hymn for Amazons, emerald green plush fit for Napoleon's box at the opera, or just plain sweet and smiling." and
"It has a bitter-powdery, fresh rubber accord such as one encounters....while repairing a bicycle tyre puncture"
I had great fun doing some pics for a challenge on Flickr of 'black on black'

This makes a splendid 'Still Life' Andrea.
what a most wonderful and artistic photo this is !! fav
Very swish. I am sad to see Wayne is gone.
I hope you don't take this wrong way, but when I saw all the details in the reflections, I thought this was a 3D experiment. I was pleasantly surprised to find you did this with a camera. Nice work!
This is another amazing, high quality, advertisment-ready photo.....you really are a pro.
Great image and interesting descriptions
Love the bottles!!
What a marvelous bottle it has, and now I want to smell it. LOVE this shot!
This bottle reminds me of Bearings in a steel encasement. Something that fascinated me as a child.
A most original container I have seen for a perfume. LOL ! Beautiful shot.
I love the bottle! The apothecary weight design makes me think this is something important and serious. It has gravitas. This is a beautifully mysterious shot. Excellent work!
... and I have a very small one of this, not for every day ;-) great reflection of you in this!
I love these still life shots with the bottles.. regular shots and post work... this works well.
It looks so much like the counter weights that were used to weigh things on an old fashion balance scale.
I don't do perfumes, but I think some of the bottles are fabulous! You make them even better with your awesome postwork!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
You did a good job on this one ,looks like one for the petrol heads.
Holy cow---both shots are wonderful. The flickr has presence and weight---I like Tara's observations here---but it's also graphically eaten up by black everywhere. Love how you fade it into the black and still keep the heft so present. (And you use lights so boldly.) This piece has very sharp edge work, emphasizing hard lines and contrasts; yet it still remains a unified, 'dark' image. You have been doing this long enough to get at the essence of each bottle's shape and presence; and you got this one's massivity---ala tara---beautifully. The strong light on Bulgari is also a great highlight. (And you have grain, which adds to the "gravitas" presence---as if it were carved from heavy stone.) Beautiful work, Andrea. (and btw, "It has a bitter-powdery, fresh rubber accord such as one encounters....while repairing a bicycle tyre puncture"??? I know fragrance descriptions---like wine or cognac descriptions---are very vivid, but is that last line really a turn-on? lol---I guess so! If it smells as bold as your images look, it's gotta be a knockout.)
I actually thought along the same lines as Dana, just like those amazing old weights - they used to use, I guess that tells my age as well, hmmm and that is ok ... and to continue with the words of Luca & Tania: 'Black is buzzing with brains' ... a very vibrant and striking looking shape and all that's left to do now, is to try it one day !
