The story behind the bottle.
Rubinia by Bvlgari is a composition that balances warmth and spice with an intricate blend of balsamic and woody notes. Launched in 2018 and crafted by Alberto Morillas, this fragrance opens with Sicilian mandarin, creating a bright and crisp top note that quickly transitions into the heart of Copaiba balm, sandalwood, jasmine, and orange blossom. The base notes feature vanilla, tonka bean, violet, saffron, and agarwood (oud), bringing a rich and enveloping warmth to the overall composition. This fragrance is an ode to Italian elegance, blending traditional scents with modern sophistication.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points — the mandarin opening is bright but short-lived. Focus on the base notes by applying close to skin; they develop over time, offering a warm embrace throughout the day.
