About Antonio Banderas Black Seduction EDT
Black Seduction EDT comes from Antonio Banderas. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €29, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs more than Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti but less than Mont Blanc Individuel.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner.

The style of Black Seduction
The strongest accord is fruity (100%), followed by aromatic and fresh spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy fruity and aromatic smells and notes like nutmeg and tonka bean. Less obvious notes include coriander and musk. Perfume fans rate it 4.00 out of 5.
