The story behind the bottle.
Bvlgari Man Wood Essence, launched in 2018 and crafted by Alberto Morillas, is a Woody aromatic fragrance that marries bright citrus freshness with warm, enveloping woods. The composition opens with citruses infused with sugar and lemon zest, creating an initial sweetness that contrasts beautifully against the green, spicy notes of coriander leaf. As it evolves, cypress and cedar lend their earthy warmth, while vetiver and benzoin add a subtle depth that anchors the scent in a grounded elegance.
Given its long-lasting nature and intimate sillage, one or two sprays is sufficient. Allow it to develop close to your skin rather than projecting into the air. It pairs best with activities that require a subtle yet enduring presence.
