If I was going to think about this.. I would just get Burberry touch but then again.. this is less used and more mature..
Bvlgari Êxtreme is great.. sior is good.. this is an “I’m not sure” which in a way garners excellence due to uniqueness.. well I’m not sure.
I do know I wish I was a perfumer.. I have so many ideas I haven’t seen…
sergei301070 – :
I love this fragrance. It’s a 10 for scent
However, the sillage is extremely poor.
If I want a scent bubble around me, I have to apply at least 20 sprays.
Longevity is also an issue, a skin scent within 45 minutes even when I overapply.
Would I buy another bottle after this one finishes? Probably not!

Soapy/powdery with some ginger.
Clean, too clean.. sexy? Not really.
Different? Yes.

生薑味很明顯，貫穿了所有味道
聞起來印象上就像是在帶點蒸氣室中混入生薑肥皂氣味
可以感受到熱氣的暖和和乾淨，非常很特別
Ginger flavor Obviously, throughout all flavor
It smells like a mixed impression on ginger scent of soap in a little steam chamber
You can feel the heat of the warm and clean, very very special

Wearing a fragrance is as tricky as dating someone. I need time to know how I feel about a fragrance. Often, I make impulsive purchases at first sniff – and five dates down, they’re in the relegated bag!
I’ll update my reviews about my experiences and if you’re someone like me, maybe it’ll help you make better financial decisions Haha! Happy Sniffing!
Blv was not a quick buy. I kept sniffing this at my local retailer before finally purchasing it.
There is something about this that I really like. It’s not overly masculine, and has a very subtle spicy and warm nature. I cant really pin point notes in it though. The ginger, cardamom and other spices are not distinctly noticeable to my nose but all lend a spirited spiciness to the over tone. The downside of that is it does smell quite perfume-ish to me with a nondescript scent. I wish the green notes were stronger – that would have made this more interesting I think.
Blv is fairly strong for the first 2 to 3 hours and then becomes softer and lasts for about 5 to 6 hours. Doesn’t change much from wet to dry. I like how this smells on clothes – very warm and comforting. I have received compliments on this one. Great office scent because it is not offensive at all, and you can lather it without worrying about offending anyone.
UPDATE
Today I finished my last spritz of Blv – I’ve enjoyed wearing it but don’t think I will repurchase. a good one time buy. Loved the bottle so hated that I had to junk it.
asvettiki – :
It’s safe almost too safe. Not one thing about this stirs the senses. Maybe that’s just what you’re looking for out of a fragrance for work and that’s totally fine. But to me, BLV could be The Office’s own, Toby Flenderson of fragrances. Pleasant, does the job he’s supposed to, but lacking any trace of balls or memorability. Will get squashed by any other fragrance in the area. But maybe it’s better than nothing. Your choice. Wouldn’t reccomend to young guys looking for a powdery scent, in that case I can’t think of any better suiting than Burberry Touch
andr4 – :
Smells like a dove soap. Good smell though, if you like to smell like straight out of shower.
Sandalwood creamyness blended with Galaga is all I pick up on this one
utf884Bessinepome – :
Very good smell, I would call it unisex, I’ve had both the woman / man versions and I can not tell the difference!
I recommend it to all the women who can no longer find on the market a woman washing this purchase, they will be happy to have bought it!
Jeka111 – :
I can’t even rate this yet…but so far smells quite feminine, and like synthetic soap. I got a 50ml for $45.00 at Winners cpl months ago and only just sprayed it three times.
Hi-Jacker – :
Bvlgari Blv is a great everyday office scent. It’s fresh, powdery, clean, and inoffensive. This is the perfect choice if you aren’t sure what to wear, especially in the summer.
prokyz – :
This is a very pleasant perfume.
Had it with me to New York and every time I smell it, I an back in New York.
05.авг – :
Fresh, clean, a little spicy and powdery. I didn’t wear it personally as i feel it’s too manly for me but my brother uses this to office and this smells so good on him, even after he came back home. PS : blends nicely with cigarette smoke

من عطور الديزاينر التي أراها لم تأخذ حقها من الشهرة رغم روعتها
العطر قدم زهرة التوباكو في وسط تابلي غير خانق مكون من الزنجبيل الطازج الحار مع الهيل الدافيء العميق، حتى أن العطر يعد من العطور الربيعية الآمنة الجميلة التي توحي بالنظافة والأناقة.
minoga – :
This is gorgeous. It does have a lot of similarities to the Pour Femme version of BLU. That fresh ginger note, for starters. The light airy floral backdrop. And that clean elegant Bulgari signature base to finish it off. I’ve only smelled this on paper, would love to smell it on skin, it is divine. So classy and beautiful.
artem312602 – :
What a beautiful scent! I can’t believe I’ve never got my hands on this before. I just got a 30ml bottle in the main and I regret not getting a 3.4oz. This is definitely signature scent worthy. It’s so pleasant a calming. Can’t comment on performance yet. But I love it so far. And the drydown feels the the DNA of a lighter 212 Men. Forget niche for a while and get yourself a bottle of this masterpiece!
TubOptOmbip – :
Blv pour Homme (Perfectly unisex by the way) by Bvlgari gives off an aroma of just coming out of the shower, fresh and clean and with the smell of your lightly scented soap still lingering on your damp skin. Because this is what this one smells like, notwithstanding the notes: A bar of soap that was under the water not so long ago. Not the super expensive fancy bar you buy in a high-end cosmetic store nor the cheap one at the Dollar-store but rather the popular brand at your grocery store. But with the very low price it can be found for, online at least, it’s worth it to me.
In my opinion it smells like the perfumer wanted to create a bar of soap made with YSL L’Homme’s top with a semi-fresh spicy ginger and surrounded by the base of a “lemonless” Chanel Allure Edition Blanche or even Frapin’s L’Humaniste with a creamy but dry/a bit sharp sandalwood/vanilla combo with a slightly wet, green aura added to it.
If the more popular Prada Amber is too powdery, resinous or sweet for you but want something in the same vein, Bvlgari’s fragrance might be your huckleberry. Give it a shot. I enjoy it quite a lot more than other soapy/clean cheap popular designer releases such as Mugler Cologne or Nautica Voyage. Based on the way it smells, its longevity on me combined with its unobtrusive projection, it’d make a perfect office scent.
Archabasov Vlad – :
When I was in junior high, I was gifted a Deo Stick variant of this by my father. For some reason it had none of the top notes of the EdT – all it had was the dry down. That was HEAVENLY. I was not as impressed with the EdT when I revisited it 10 years later as I didn’t like the Cardamom-y opening at all. That said, I still enjoyed the Gingery dry down very much.
kirill113827 – :
The person below me said it smelled like clean sheets which I thought was an odd way of describing a scent, but I just tried Blv and it’s a spot on description. It really does smell like fresh linen. It’s soft, safe, comforting, and pleasant. I often like to wear a fragrance to bed and this will be perfect.
interspire – :
I massively misunderstood this when I first started wearin’ it. All I got was clean bed sheets from it. Which ain’t to say that’s bad, it’s quite nice. Everyone likes clean bed sheets, especially when the sheets in question ain’t yours.
Sorry. Tangent. Anyway. Fragrance.
It weren’t until months later when it reentered me rotation that I started pickin’ up on the ginger. Now I dunno how I went so long not gettin’ it. I think it’s ‘cause it’s a very clean, fresh ginger. Ginger’s one of them where if you ain’t careful with it you can turn anythin’ into the least talented Spice Girl. The fact I didn’t even think there was any in it at the beginnin’ should tell ya people knew what they were doin’ with it. It don’t even come close to givin’ you a headache, it’s mellow an’ warm an’… lovely. I know people who wear it to bed to chill ‘emselves out. I totally get.
Warm weather frag, above-average warm weather performance on me. I consider it casual even though it’s probably too classy for that because it just smells to me like it belongs on someone in jeans an’ a tee relaxin’ and enjoyin’ ‘emselves. Think I picked it up for under $25 last time I was on holiday. It’s WELL WORTH that.
serjbadiu – :
i just got it today as gift pack include shower gel.shave balm …. realy nice woody fresh spicy fragrance
soap141 – :
As usual per Bvlgari, it can’t be anything common.
This smells as if a fresh cold windy day somehow ended up in a bottle of champaigne and brought along a few clouds, who are a bit confused as to what on earth are they doing there.
It has this fresh, airy fizziness that can be read as powderiness, but it ain’t powder, its kind of, well, cloud bubbles would be the best way to describe it.
Quite unique as a fragrance and well worth trying and even blind buying, as it is almost impossible not to like at least something in it.
Also, as the name implies, this smells blue, but not the Bleu de Chanel dark, blues, blue but a vivid, almost turqoise blue.
It’s for the spring mostly, but can be used during the fall, and, maybe, just maybe, in summer but I think it’ll come across as a bit too heavy when the temperature rises above 30 C°.
If there is a downside to it, it’s the linearity, as that’s Bvlgari’s Achilles heel that they never seem to overcome. I’m starting to think that they are doing that on purpose, as a trademark, and in all honesty their products are, mostly, so good out of the box (bottle) that it kind of makes sense.
Lasts some 6 to 8 hours, projects decently but not fantasticaly for some two of them and leaves a nice sillage, even if not for too long.
A strong B, tedering on an A, but not quite there because of the rather dissapointing Notte flanker.
ArtasWolf – :
Clean, elegant, a bit sensual to me, and lasts long. Simply nice one. I, however, personally don’t think it smells beautiful when the weather is TOO humid. When I was traveling around some east and south Asian countries where the humidity is ridiculously high, it seemed like over 50% of men there were in love with this scent back then (2004-2005) and there wasn’t a single day I didn’t smell BLV pour homme. What happened was that, it, the scent in the super high humidity, gave me serious diarrhea every time I encountered it. Really. I usually get constipated whilst traveling but thanks to BLV pour homme I was constipation-free during my time in Asia. I thought this was just my crazy experience for ages given that so many Asian people I met loved BLV pour homme and they didn’t seem to have diarrhea, but currently one of my best friends relocated to Japan for her job and she said “magically, am allergic to most of the Bvlgari perfumes now and dunno even why!”
Sewer – :
I wore this to my college class and my friends told me I smell like a ginger soap like a Dial soap.
When this juice dries down, I get a hint of Yves Saint Laurent’s L’homme minus the creaminess and citrusness.
Definitely a safe scent for chilly and cold weather.
faircat – :
Soap all the day. In a nice way. I loved the powdery clean fresh vibe. Got a compliment or two but it is not that strong and you will have people often say “who is smelling like soap!!?”
Idepleneisp – :
just blind buy this fragrance. yes it’s soapy but in a good way, very elegance. clean, fresh, bit powdery, light but have a staying power all day long on my skin. very versatile, can wear in any weather. great timeless scent..
Valeha – :
Ginger soap + baby powder. strong sillage after spray and gone in an hour. mine is a 2016 bottle.
fktrcfylh168 – :
Starts out okay, like a kind of playful fresh(ginger)-sweet powder smell. After an hour it becomes baby wipes. Not just a vibe, but 100% baby wipes. It’s an unfortunate but inevitable association for me, so it’s a pass.
scania198 – :
Fresh, powdery, clean laundry with citrus undertones….that’s the dominant scent I get on me. I like this scent, it’s not over the top. I see myself wearing this as a spring frangrance during the day, and on cooler summer days. Maybe a little too strong in the high temp days of an Australian summer….but we’ll see.
Nothing sophisticated so the perfect casual scent.
titanoff828 – :
Nothing beats a man that smells fresh, powdery and clean! And this one ticks all the boxes. I repeat, it won’t make you smell macho, or a playa, or smooth or whatever adjectives millennials can think of describing a playboy or whatnot. Hahah.. No booboo, stay clear from this one. However, if you are the kind of man who’s confident of your sexuality and masculinity even without wearing a suit, a Rolex and a Tom Ford por Homme perfumes, this is the perfume you need. Clean, fresh, powdery, inoffensive. Nope, SAFE is not the word. Safe is equals to boring! This is Clean, Fresh and Powdery. I ran out of adjectives meself but then again, those 3 are enough/ Go and be real man. 🙂
prker33 – :
Ah it’s summer and you’ve got nose fatigue or a real lack of inspiration from all your citrus based fragrances. What do you do? Well, if the zing of ginger is something that you find refreshing then say no more Bvlgari BLV has you covered! BLV has become one of my all time favorite summer fragrances. BLV is a real pleasure to wear and congers up memories of lounging pool side and staring straight at a clear blue sky.
The opening of BLV is pure gingery powder with a touch of cardamom and a very sweet tobacco blossom. BLV besides having a fizzy ginger element, also has this really faint juniper note that I feel forms the foil to the ginger in this scent, creating a near perfect balance between the ginger and powdery essence of this scent. The teakwood and sandalwood come in to give the scent a warm, rich woody base. BLV as a whole is a beauty of a warm weather scent, with its’ light florals, woods and fresh, spicy ginger. The notes are well separated and are not at all cloying. BLV feels clean powdery and fresh and is really something different to wear on a sunny, warm day. BLV can be worn by the twenty year old crowd all the way to the late thirties crowd. This fragrance has longevity so it works well during the day and would work well in the office. BLV as I have stated is a warmer weather fragrance and works great in spring and summer. Bvlgari BLV is another reasonably priced scent from a real quality house, so for me it is full bottle worthy.
BLV is the scent you wear when you were just swimming and tanning by the pool and you still want to relive that relaxing moment on your skin and in your nose. Give BLV a few sprays when you just swam a few lengths, tanned, showered off the Banana Boat and are ready to relax on your porch or balcony for the rest of the day before meeting up with friends for a bbq.

Powderly formal, it smells like baby powder with a masculine edge.
slekht – :
I’ve had this one for awhile now and I never gave it a fair shake. It grew on me. Especially being so hot, not having to wear something aquatic or citrus is a bonus.
It opens a bit soapy and sharp like a lot of soapy scents do. However, about 20 minutes in the cardamom and sandalwood really come out. I never really lose the cardamom but the flowery aspects of the composition start to show themselves after a few hours. It remains more fresh than floral though.
I got about 7-8 hours out of it with moderate sillage. For the price tag, I would consider that a good buy. This one could be used for all occasions and by most age groups, possibly even women. It’s quite inoffensive and pleasant to the nose.
arielbarabaka – :
This one smells …I can’t say it smells like an old grandfather. Sorry BLV. It’s too spicy and overly masculine in my eye. There is no any single note that I can like in the fluid. It’s too far away from me. Sorry… I like most of BLV women fragrances, and I am aiming to find one among their for men, but sorry not this one.
oRealScandy – :
I do generally enjoy powdery-sweet scents, but in this one there is some note (or accord) that smells very much like honey – and it’s quite powerful. Not being familiar with tobacco blossom or galangal I have to wonder if it’s one of these?
Owing to my status as a Bvlgari slut, I was surprised not to be a huge fan of this, but that honey-like accord just went a little too funky on me (maybe a little closer to over-ripe fruit?).
Oh well, we can’t be a good match for them all 🙂
vmb459speagoessenda – :
Me & my brother fell in love with this fragrance in the early 2000’s & we both wore it for years.With life changes i totally forgot about it after about five years or so.Hadn’t smelled it in a couple years & the other day my brother bought a new bottle only to realize that it’s a shell of it’s former self.So sad cause this was amazing & ahead of it’s time
TanuxaKiska – :
I get lemongrass, a cool creamy base like face makeup or body lotion and the faintest hint of spice. I like it. It’s very unisex, actually, almost sweet. My sister didn’t like it at all, but for me, it’s an interesting combination of cool, creamy, herbal and sweet.
patrol79 – :
I bought the gift set which had 15mil bottles of Bvlgari Aqua Amara, Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme, Bvlgari BVL Pour Homme, Bvlgari Man in Black and Bvlgari Man Extreme for around $30. That allowed me to test all five fragrances quite a bit. Initial shot is unpleasant. Bvlgari may call that “aromatic”, but to me, it was just yuk! After dry down it has a soapy and powdery scent. Longevity and projection are on the low end of moderate. I do not recommend. Sorry, but for me this is a dis-like. This was the worst of the five Bvlgari fragrances in my mini-bottle collection. My ranking of the five mini bottle collection of Bvlgari fragrances is: 1 – Man in Black EDP, 2 – Man Extreme, 3 – Aqua Amara, 4 – Aqua Pour Homme, and 5 – BVL Pour Homme.

bought this as advised by my female staff…
after shower at 8PM, i went out for groceries, and after returned home..my wife said am (sill) smell soo fresh and she loves the powdery and soapy sensation..
Till bedtime at about midnite i still scent the freshness of a light sandalwood and tobacco leave and a lil of soapy sensation..
My favourite hommy scent since then
Deroxylixu – :
Female here
Got sample of this on he and I.
Powder citrus- warm slightly sweet orange.
Starts off with that fresh manly frag smell, then it’s soft and comforting, rounded and inviting.
I did wonder if it was akin to what the older generations of men wore, or wear now, but I think they are having a bit of a resurgence.
If you don’t have a rounded, powdery, citrus fresh sort, worth s look in.
My sample is just s little splash, so I’m not getting the full ampage that a spray would give. I dabbed it on the male but perhaps not enough.
–he has the purple joop which is like an aromatic spiced powder full on one, and I now can’t stand it. This is better for him.

WONDERFUL SCENT

albumutbadlom – :
For me a very underrated fragrance. I absolutely adore this scent. Really subtle but noticeable and a real compliment getter. Can pick it up for a very reasonable price (£40 for 100ml)And I would pay a lot more if necessary. LOVE IT!
tatarin.ru – :
I bought this fragrance based on the fact that Alberto Morillas was the perfumer behind it. I was not disappointed.
I really enjoy smelling this fragrance. It is a very “soft” and smooth scent that is truly addicting. The smell is linear for the most part, but it is very well-blended. Every time I smell this cologne the word “smooth” comes to mind. Also, even though the note is not listed on there, to me this cologne has a “lemony” vibe to it. However, when I pay attention to the scent I can definitely smell the ginger and cardamom in it as these are the two notes that stand out the most.
To me, this cologne seems to fit more of a “khakis and button-up shirt” look and I tend to dress more casual or athletic so it is safe to say that I have not had the chance to wear this out in public. However, I will be giving it a go soon to see how it works for me.
As of right now, I would give this cologne the following ratings:
Scent: 4/5
Sillage: 3/5
Longevity: 3.5/5
Value: 4.5/5
Валерик123 – :
I love this scent and wear it daily.
Its none intrusive and i wear just one spray on the upper chest under work attire (i work in an office so i cannot be too offensive).
I still cannot get my head around all the notes as it changes day to day and start to finish but its like a lemon powder with a sweet musk but not over powering.
nikolas47 – :
This is soapy, which I normally love, but it’s soapy with all the edges and contrasting sharpness scrubbed out of it. It reminds me so much of Chanel’s Allure Edition Blanche, minus the citrus, so if you liked that one’s creamy-smooth base, you’ll probably love this. There’s nothing stereotypically masculine about it, which is fine, but it’s a bit *too* smooth and sweet for my taste, with nothing to cut the sweetness. I don’t dislike it – it’s simple and comforting – but I think I’ll be sticking to Prada’s Amber pour Homme for my go-to soapy smell.

alex23 – :
This one is my husband’s signature, he wore it when we first met and I was blown away by its uniqueness and softness.
This perfume is like drinking a very good, artisan even gin and tonic. First it is juniper and juniper only, a little bitter, in a pleasant way. Then I swear this fragrance turns all citrusy even though the citrus is not listed. And finally i settles into a sweet and very soft base, a little powdery or soapy, so unusual.
It has a very good longevity, I love smelling it on him in the evening when he comes home from work.
helenaprincesss – :
I had this a while ago and I’m writing this based on memory of the perfume.
It was so unique to me at the time because I wasnt usd to powdery perfumes before.
It had burst of freshness at the opening but after that it was only vanilla and baby powder. smelt clean and very soft.
Sillage and longevity were quite poor as far as I can remember, it turned into skin scent after short time of spraying, but it was a nice scent though.
devilx2 – :
A boyish fragrance, it doesn’t register as a masculine fragrance to me, something too powdery about it. This just reminds me of a boy who’s been told by Grandma to scrub down and off to Sunday school. I much prefer men to wear something more musky, earthy.

“You smell like babies” that’s the comment I received from a girl I was dating few years ago, when I was wearing this perfume. It won’t turn heads, it will make you smell clean and comfortable.

BVLGARI is really proving themselves to not only have great taste in fragrance development…but what impresses me SO much with their products is the extreme range they’ve developed.
So far…I’ve purchased…
Agva Pour Homme
Agva Divina
Bvlgari Man
Bvlgari Man Extreme
Omnia Indian Garnet
And BLV Pour Home just arrived in the mail today.
I really am blown away by how amazing…but different they all are. Each and every one of them.
This fragrance…smells soapy…but like EXPENSIVE…smooth…masculine…almost a relaxing type of clean. I could see someone get a whiff of this by someone walking by them and just closing their eyes, and breathing in deeply. It’s very smooth and warm. I never smelled a “warm” soapy scent before.
But this is it! And it’s beautifully done! As I’ve stated in other reviews…even among my fragrances that I absolutely love…I can still easily admit when one of my most loved fragrances are absolutely NOT a good candidate for a blind buy. This is not one of those…this one is among the safest of the safe to blind buy! I cannot imagine ANYONE not at least giving this fragrance a “like” and it is an easy love for me. And that bottle!!! If it’s even possible…it’s actually more gorgeous in person than it is in the above picture. That blue!!! Really really well done!
Scent Itself – 9/10
Longevity – 5 hours
Projection – Moderate. About 2-3 feet away but that’s perfect for this one. Some fragrances aren’t meant to scream out and fill the room.
Overall Score – 9/10
Keep em coming Bvlgari. I really am so impressed as a whole with this company. Two thumbs up!

Damnn, semprotan pertama langsung jatuh cinta. Baunya segar bgt. Enak dipake ngantor. Tmn kantor jg smpat nanya “pake parfum apa sih?”. Dipake ke lokasi masih awet kena panas matahari.
Провокатор – :
I do get the soapy vibe others have mentioned (which is not a bad thing) but it’s a warm soapy vibe. Clean skin with a blast of ginger and spiced candied florals that can come off a bit predictable and sweet but I don’t think it’s too “young” of a scent. This would layer very nicely with Montblanc Presence to add some greener notes.
It is fairly linear and has a warmer smelling drydown then Prada Amber so if you want a cleaner “safe” scent that doesn’t fill a room, I can easily suggest this for cooler months as an office scent as it stands up well.
Scent: 5/10 it isnt bad, just safe-again NOT a bad thing.
Longevity: 7/10 I got an easy 6 or 7 hours as a skin scent.
Projection: 4/10 it is not a powerhouse and does not need to be.
Sillage: 5/10 for the first hour then 3/10 for the next few hours.
Would I buy this again: probably not because it is nearly a redundant pirchase for me with the other clean soapy scents in my arsenal.
Who do I recommend this for: someone who has to wear a suit or uniform but finds their own rebellious ways to inject a hint of personality (colorful socks, or unique cufflinks) to avoid blending in entirely with their coworkers but doesn’t want to be the “tall nail”.

Female reviewer here.
I ordered a partly empty bottle really cheaply off ebay (for myself) because I can pull off some male fragrances. I like it. I’d say it is unisex enough for me, though maybe not enough for some women.
I am almost certain I smell bergamot, though it is not listed as a note. It is the main one that I detect, though I do detect some spices (but only some…more as it dries down), against a woody backdrop.
I know people think of this as a soapy scent, though I don’t perceive it as soapy, myself. It does smell clean, though, and it will be nice to wear in the hot upcoming months.

It grows on me. Bought it few weeks ago for less than $30. Just curious if it has a wonderful smell since I have Aqua and Homme Soir, and both smell delicious.
When I applied it to my skin for the first time, I sense the vibe of DNG Pour Homme. It is fresh, clean, but it has something distinctive that makes you feel neat and different. A gentleman.
No, you cannot wear this with t-shirt and sneakers, it just doesn’t fit. Wear it with blazer, shirt or batik. Perfect for office wear.
No, I just can’t see you hit on street random girl with this. But I can see you met a client and end up in your room, locked for two hours.
It grows, and has became my wingman – during daytime.

My true love, Bvlgari Blv. It has garnered me more compliments than the rest of my fragrances put together, whether from friends, colleagues or lovers. I can think of no finer recommendation than that. I love it and how it smells and how it makes me feel. It is Alberto Morillas’s finest moment.
What can I say that is a little more practical? Well, I find that it lasts for more than 12 hours on me and that it works in any kind of weather. The projection is strong but subtle. There is always a wonderful gentle waft of Blv in the shower the following morning (I spray a little in my hair) as the metaphorical magic carpet flies away at the break of a new day. The main note is ginger but not in a way that you would expect. Blv settles into a lovely mix of green notes within a lovely warm, woody base and a little galanga and jasmine mixing with the ginger.
This one is just pure class. Subtle, warm and elegant, multilayered and so damned good! I have worn this almost since it came out about fourteen years ago and it was my favourite then and it remains my favourite now, dozens of perfumes later.
Alas, I will lulled into a false sense of security by the presence of Blv Pour Homme on the Bvlgari website. Sadly, a phonecall to the Sloane Street HQ in London revealed that Blv has been discontinued. If anyone has any of it left, I am always interested in taking it off your hands!
EDIT: I had huge longevity from the original bottles with the grey top and cloudy glass. The bottles with clear glass and the silver top don’t last as long or project as far but they still smell the same.

Un parfum bon sert, mais je ne l’ai pas trop aimer personnellement, je trouve qu’il est trop ordinaire, qu’il se diffère pas trop des autres fragrances, du coup, je l’ai revendu, perso, je l’achèterai pas

I love this one. It smells weird and different. Unlike anything I own.
