About This Perfume
Think powdery floral, sweet anise with a fresh cedar: that is Bvlgari BLV Eau de Parfum II. It opens with star anise, liquorice and mandarin orange, moves into jasmine, texas cedar and vetiver and settles on benzoin, ambergris and Spanish cistus. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for the office. Released in 2009.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and powdery for the office.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fresh fragrances.
Around $197.

Scent profiles of the picks
For Bvlgari Man In Black (Eau de Parfum, 2014), expect dark rum, smoky tobacco and leather-leaning sweetness: rum and tobacco up top, gaiac wood, tonka bean and benzoin underneath. Bvlgari Black (Eau de Parfum, 1998) comes across as smoky leather jacket, green tea and cedar warmth, with green tea and bergamot at the start and leather, vanilla and amber at the base. Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc (2003) reads as fresh white tea, peppery florals and bergamot breeze, opening on tea and artemisia and drying down to musk, jasmine and amber.
