The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, Dolce Estasi by Bvlgari is a floral fragrance crafted by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The composition opens with a bright burst of citrus before transitioning into a heart of heliotrope, which adds an unexpected sweetness. The base note of musk grounds the scent, creating a warm and powdery finish that lingers on the skin. This fragrance embodies the Italian luxury house's signature blend of elegance and modernity.

How to wear it

Two sprays are sufficient to capture the full essence of this fragrance. The top note of citrus is bright but fades within an hour, while the musky base continues to develop on your skin throughout the day. Best for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet elegant scent.
