The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted Splendida Magnolia Sensuel for Bvlgari in 2018, imbuing it with a balance of bright citrus and rich florals. The fragrance opens with the zesty freshness of tangerine and orange blossom, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy. This gives way to a heart of magnolia and jasmine, which adds a soft, enveloping warmth. The base notes of musk, Tahitian vanilla, patchouli, and powdery accords provide depth and a lingering sensuality.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle before heading out. The base notes will gradually reveal themselves over time, ensuring a lasting warmth close to the skin.
