About This Perfume
Think sun-warmed vetiver, smoky resin, citrus peel: that is Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence. It opens with Calabrian citron and calamondin, moves into vetiver and orris concrete and settles on earthy notes and styrax. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2021.
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 woody and grounded for casual days.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong earthy notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $32.

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.
