About This Perfume
Think fresh spicy sandalwood, ginger, tobacco breeze: that is Bvlgari BLV Pour Homme. It opens with cardamom and sandalwood, moves into ginger, juniper berry and galangal and settles on tobacco flower, teakwood and gingko. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2001.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: fresh is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $107.

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.
