HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Bvlgari Man Glacial Essence, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, is an aromatic fougère that captures a sense of cool clarity and modernity. The fragrance opens with the bright, fresh bite of ginger and juniper berries, creating an invigorating contrast to the warm woody base notes of sandalwood and cedar. The heart of geranium and orris root adds depth without heaviness, while musk grounds the composition in a subtle, powdery comfort.
Apply two sprays to each wrist for a balanced effect. The ginger and juniper top notes are particularly bright but fade within an hour, so layering is key to maintaining the full depth of the fragrance throughout the day.
