The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Bvlgari, BLV Eau de Parfum II was crafted by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This composition opens with a bright and crisp mandarin orange before diving into the heart of violet, star anise, and licorice, creating a delicate balance between floral and spicy notes. The base of patchouli, vetiver, cotton flower, musk, benzoin, tonka bean, amber, and French labdanum adds warmth and depth, making this fragrance both powdery and woody.
Two sprays on pulse points will allow the powdery and woody base notes to develop fully. This fragrance pairs well with cooler evenings but can also be worn during the day for a subtle yet elegant presence.
