The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Allegra Magnifying Vanilla Essence by Bvlgari is an Oriental fragrance that transforms the familiar into something extraordinary. The composition centers around a rich vanilla accord, liftd with powdery and sweet nuances that add depth without overpowering. A hint of soft spice and balsamic notes weave through the scent, creating a warm embrace that feels both comforting and luxurious.

How to wear it

Apply a light mist on your pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. The powdery notes bloom after about half an hour, providing a warm, enveloping scent that lingers close to skin.
