Bvlgari Man by Bvlgari (not to be confused with Bulgari pour Homme) was launched in 2010 as the first fragrance of a new line, parallel to Blv and Aqua.
The list of notes in the Bvlgari website is quite long, the most interesting are: bergamot, violet leaves, lotus, white pears, white woods, tonka beans, white honey, and musk.
In the opening the fragrance offers a mix of musk, soft pepper, and a touch of bitter sage, which is blended with grapefruit, plus traces of amber and ginger in the background.
In the middle phase, the fragrance focuses on pepper as a main note and dry secondary ingredients like grapefruit and ginger – which create a similarity with Jazz by YSL.
After three hours, the fragrance is stable around pepper and amber diluted of water (the spicy water style here may remind you of One million perfume by Paco Rabanne), and will remain unchanged in the base notes, except for an extra note of wood in the background.
Bvlgari Man by Bvlgari offers a mix of traditional notes of woods, but with a modern component of citrus. Grapefruit and semi-bitter notes remind of previous fragrances like Bulgari pour Homme Extreme, Bulgari pour Homme Soir, or Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline.
It is suitable to be worn all-year round, perhaps closer to summer at the beginning, but then – thanks to hefty doses of spices – it becomes warmer and open for a winter use too.
In the office it will be mature and professional without feeling too classic, reminding of other fragrances, but at the same time standing out on its own.
For use in the evening, the ideal scenario would be a close circle of friends, in a not too crowded environment, whereas for romantic dates it will give its best at one to one dinners, as opposed to more dynamic situations on the dance floor.
