The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2000 by Bvlgari and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, BLV is a unisex fragrance that captures the essence of fresh spiciness and floral warmth. The composition opens with ginger and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy and brightness. This freshness gives way to a heart of wisteria and flax, introducing a delicate floral touch that balances the spicy notes. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, black locust, and vanilla provide a warm, enveloping finish.
Apply BLV with two sprays for a balanced wear. The spicy top notes fade quickly after about an hour, so it's ideal to apply before you head out. The woody base will keep it going through the evening without needing to reapply.
