The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Bvlgari and crafted by Sophie Labbé, Splendida Patchouli Tentation is a Chypre Floral fragrance that blends the earthy richness of patchouli with powdery and woody notes. The composition opens with white peach, adding a subtle sweetness before giving way to the heart's orris and Indonesian patchouli leaf, creating an intriguing tension between floral and earthy accords. The base of white musk rounds out the scent with a warm, enveloping finish that lingers softly on the skin.

How to wear it

Given its moderate longevity and sillage, one or two sprays are sufficient to ensure that Splendida Patchouli Tentation stays close to your skin without overpowering the room. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that is both noticeable yet understated.
