The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001 by Bvlgari and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, BLV Pour Homme is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of Italian elegance with its fresh and aromatic character. The composition opens with cardamom and ginger, creating a vibrant and spicy top note that transitions into a heart of green leaves and juniper, adding a touch of freshness and earthiness. At its base, sandalwood and teak wood create a warm, woody foundation that is further enriched by the subtle presence of tobacco blossom.
One or two sprays are enough — the fresh spicy top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow it to settle for about an hour before you notice the rich warmth of its base notes. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves with your mood and surroundings.
