The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 and crafted by Beatrice Piquet, Rose Essentielle by Bvlgari is a floral fragrance that embodies the elegance of Italian luxury. The composition centers around rose, with Taif rose as its crown jewel, supported by a delicate balance of violet, blackberry, and mimosa. The heart of this fragrance is enveloped in a powdery warmth from musk and woods like sandalwood and guaiac wood. It’s neither overly sweet nor heavy, making it suitable for both day and night.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points. The rose and violet notes are particularly vibrant initially but will settle into a warm, powdery base over time. This fragrance performs best in cooler temperatures, so it’s ideal for autumn evenings or spring afternoons.
