The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial by Bvlgari, launched in 2026 and crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a citrus-aromatic composition that marries the brightness of Italian citrus with the depth of Sri Lankan black tea. This interplay creates an intriguing contrast — the freshness of citrus notes cuts through the warmth of musk, resulting in a clean and invigorating scent. The fragrance’s concept is rooted in historical exchanges between East and West, where tea represents a cultivated ritual from China, while citrus evokes classical Rome.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for optimal wear — the bright citrus notes will initially dominate before giving way to the warm musk base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime or early evening wear when its fresh and clean character shines brightest.
