The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by the Italian luxury house Bvlgari, Allegra Magnifying Musk Essence is a composition that balances musky and powdery accords with an intriguing blend of floral and animalic notes. The fragrance opens with aromatic freshness but quickly shifts to its core identity — a warm and enveloping musk that feels both modern and lasting. The powdery base adds a soft, comforting layer, while the floral elements bring a subtle sweetness that never overwhelms.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient — the aromatic opening is fleeting, but the musky base lingers for hours. It’s best suited to evenings when you want something that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
