  I was surprised by the resemblance to Armani Code right after applying it; it’s an elegant perfume I see as ideal for night or cold weather. It lasted 6 hours on skin, projecting strongly for the first 2 hours with a moderate trail. I loved it for the price and quality: 297 Mexican pesos!

  It reminds me a bit of CH Men, that powdery vanilla part but without the leather. Moderate longevity, about 4 hours on skin. I recommend wearing it on clothes; it leaves an incredibly rich vanilla scent. Excellent for daily wear in fresh months, though it lacks some punch at night.

  To me, it reminds me a bit of CH Men in the powdery vanilla part, but without the leather. It lasts about 4 hours on skin. I recommend applying it on clothes, where it leaves an incredibly rich vanilla scent; it’s excellent as a daily signature fragrance for fresh months. At night, it lacks a bit of punch.

  Mary Kay’s Black Horse for men shares similarities with Armani Code thanks to that powdery vanilla and lavender, but it has its own personality. What really shines is that powdery lavender note over a subtle vanilla base, with crabapple blossom taking the lead at the start; it smells a bit like baby cream. I detect echoes of several perfumes in the lavender, including Armani Code and the powdery vibe of Gucci Guilty, but watch out—it’s not a dupe and doesn’t try to be one. It draws inspiration from others but stands out for its floral side. As it dries down, it smells like a freshly prepared baby bassinet; sounds weird, but the crabapple blossom replaces the classic blue soap scent, turning it into a hybrid between a blue and a sweet daily floral. While crabapple leads the opening, lavender and vanilla take over, backed by a synthetic sandalwood base. It lasts 6 hours, with average projection for the first hour and then skin scent; it’s intimate, not very masculine. Great for daytime, hot weather with a sweet clean scent, or evening dates; discreet but charming. I’d give it 2/4—it delivers, though the opening has a flaw with some initial alcohol. Within its category, it’s a solid option for the price.

  Mary Kay’s Black Horse for men, which many compare to Armani Code for that powdery vanilla with lavender, but to me, there are several facets that set it apart from Armani. What stands out most is that powdery lavender part with a subtle vanilla bed and the crabapple blossom at the start, which smells a bit like baby cream. In the lavender, I sense remnants of several perfumes; Armani Code could be one, but also the vibe of Gucci Guilty, watch out, just the powdery part—it’s not a dupe and doesn’t pretend to be one. For me, it’s a perfume that clearly takes inspiration from others, but not to the point of being a direct dupe, since the floral part makes it stand out. As the notes settle, it smells like a freshly prepared baby bassinet; sounds strange, but the crabapple blossom replaces the classic blue soap smell, turning Upscale Black into a hybrid between a blue and a sweet daily floral. Where crabapple controls the opening and then lavender and vanilla take the lead, accompanied by a hidden synthetic sandalwood base in the background. Longevity is 6 hours, average projection for the first hour and then skin scent; it’s clearly an intimate perfume, not very masculine. It works for daily wear, hot weather with a sweet clean scent, or afternoons; it performs well for dates, discreet but charming. It’s a 2/4—it delivers, though the opening has a flaw where I perceive some alcohol at the start, then it continues its course. Within the catalog perfume category, it seems like a solid option considering the price.
