Launched in 2021 and crafted by the legendary perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Le Gemme Empyr by Bvlgari is a powerful woody spicy fragrance. The composition opens with a bold ginger note that continues into the heart, creating an invigorating contrast against the enveloping warmth of sandalwood and labdanum in the base. Inspired by precious gemstones and the Pyrite stone, which symbolizes empowerment and evolution, this scent captures the essence of exploration and discovery. The rich woody spicy accords evoke a journey through diverse landscapes, ultimately leading to the Mediterranean Basin, Bvlgari's spiritual home.
