The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted Allegra Magnifying Myrrh Essence in 2022 for Bvlgari, a brand known for its Italian elegance and luxury. This fragrance opens with an aromatic burst that quickly transitions into warm spicy and balsamic notes, creating a rich and enveloping experience. The heart of the scent is sweet and inviting, while the base layers of amber lend depth and warmth, making it feel both intimate and expansive.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a rich base that takes time to bloom. Apply it in light layers and allow an hour for the full depth to emerge. It reads best close to skin rather than projecting through the air.
