The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Tygar by Bvlgari is a citrus aromatic fragrance crafted by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of grapefruit that immediately captures attention, followed by the warm spice of ginger and ambrette. These notes are balanced by the rich musk and earthy undertones of vetiver and patchouli in the base, creating a scent that is both fresh and enveloping.
Tygar's top notes are bright but fade quickly, so apply two sprays to ensure the heart and base notes have time to develop. It reads best close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for daytime or indoor settings.
