A closer look at Fila Black EDT

Day or night?
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear.
Will people notice Black?
Its sillage is soft. People must be close to smell it. If you want others to notice it, use a few more sprays. Lattafa Najdia and Mont Blanc Individuel spread further.
Its style
The strongest accord is warm spicy (100%), followed by cinnamon and fruity. You will probably like it if you enjoy warm spicy and cinnamon smells and notes like cinnamon and white cedar extract. Less obvious notes include bergamot, cardamom and amber.
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 Lattafa Najdia but less than Mont Blanc Individuel and Shaik Opulent Shaik No. 77.
Is Black long lasting?
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. Lattafa Najdia and Mont Blanc Individuel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like white cedar extract and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
