EDPMen
The Story
Black Tie has been a modern classic since its original release, and the 2028 reformulation refines the balance without losing its signature charm. The opening is a crisp, sparkling grapefruit and bergamot, leading into a heart of lavender and geranium. The base remains warm and inviting with amber, cedar, and a touch of leather. It's a versatile, confident scent that works from the office to a night out.
