This, to me, is overpowering baby powder. I am unable to smell anything but that after revisiting the test strip again and again, and it is a very insistent and heavy scent as well. If I had sprayed it on myself I would have more to say on the sillage, longevity, and transformation, but I can let you know that you MUST be down for single-mindedly powdery fragrances to enjoy this in its early stages. I just don’t think it’s terribly flattering or evocative. It’s a more fussy/cleanly/neurotic type of femininity to me.
evkirikov – :
Smells very creamy and sophisticated! Perfect for the office. But I also think the fragrance might be too mild for me – after 2-3 hours, you can’t tell that I’m wearing any perfume :/ sits very close to the skin at this point sadly. Expected better quality in terms of longevity from Bvlgari .. maybe these notes are inherently very mild
oriegorge – :
After an initial blast of what smells like acetone, this dries down to a powdery and slightly fruity floral. Someone said a few reviews below that this smells like fancy baby lotion. That is a very apt description for the reformulation. Beautiful candied “niche” baby lotion.
As its name implies this is definitely one for the ladies – I can’t see someone saying this is unisex (at least here in the Americas). It would make a great gift for a lady in your life of any generation.
Sterhov – :
A soft, delectable cloud of light florals. I would wear this to church or job interviews. Very subtle and “lady-like”.
kds_itspec – :
This a delicate, ethereal, wispy creation. It is slightly powdery from the orris root with a slight sweetness of fruits (raspberry and peach). The powdery characteristics are balanced by a very fresh musk that makes the scent feel cold rather than warm. Very feminine, can be worn year round, but is especially nice for spring/summer. Sillage is moderate, longevity is unfortunately short. I like it but it does not have enough lasting power to justify buying a bottle.
jimcostar – :
Initially, this is reminiscent of Champs Elysees and Tresor; but it quickly becomes a musky odor with a faint hint of camphor or menthol (perhaps Bengay), conjuring up the odors of medicine cabinets. It doesn’t smell creamy, soapy, or clean.
saper2 – :
Love this! I don’t know why I’m so late to the party…why on earth has this been discontinued? It’s absolutely lovely…smells like a bouquet. I bought a small vial from Fragrance.net and now wish I has gotten a full bottle. I just want to douse myself in this! Well, I’m off to Frag.net again to buy the largest bottle possible of Bvlgari Pour Femme. I don’t feel this way about many perfumes…this one is special.
DotGypesttusyst – :
I love this, the staying power seems pretty good sillage is moderate. This is a new favorite!!! This smells like fancy baby lotion!!
Sairusvirus – :
Very elegant and classy fragrance. Not too offensive or overpowering…balanced to perfection, a simple yet elegant masterpiece of notes. Looking at the notes pyramid, one can say it is very busy and a lot is going on…but when you smell Bvlgari Pour Femme you can only smell pleasant fragrance.
Im in my mid 30’s and now I can appreciate its beauty. Before, Bvlgari Pour Femme was a passé scent for me…Now I love it.
sadi08 – :
I’ve just opened a vintage pro reformulation bottle of this.It didnt suit my skin chemistry but it is a chic classic floral.Should anyone be interested for a trade pm me!

Ini parfum mahal pertama yang aku punya suka banget aromanya, setelah kering wanginya lebih enak dan tahan seharian malah di baju sampai dua hari masih tercium.
AgentDeath – :
Very elegant, cold, lofty, powdery, a little earthy. Violets + rose + raspberry + liquid powder note. Longlasting
markinserega – :
I bought this perfume blindly, because of the iris and mimosa description… and yes, it is there!
It smells wonderful on my skin, and I absolutely love this so what ever “powdery baby-scent” 🙂
Deroxylkfn – :
Bvlgari Pour Femme is a powdery, subdued perfume. If I have to choose one phrase to describe it I would choose “prim and proper” for Pour Femme. That might be boring to some but I really appreciate Pour Femme, this is a solid staple in my perfume wardrobe. It is a beautiful, romantic and very feminine scent with a good dash of old fashioned charm. This is a scent that follows all the rules of etiquette, a proper young lady from the Victorian era.
I get mostly sweet powdery violets from Pour Femme with some greenish iris notes and a bit of rose. Some people smell a prominent jasmine but I sadly do not. The longer it sits on the skin the more powdery it becomes. It is not a musty type of powder but rather a very soft, clean powder that makes one feel well groomed and very lady like. This is a big like for me. For some reason the sillage seems to be strong on me, even though it is such a delicate scent. It is a very soft perfume on my sister and barely lasts two hours on her but I can easily fill up a room with this scent if I am not careful. So no more than two light sprays for me. And the lasting power is fantastic on my skin, it easily lasts 8-10 hours on me.
This is one of my favourite day time perfumes. It is so beautifully well put together. I wear this to work, especially when I want to feel well groomed and amp up my feminine charm. This is a very charming scent but in no way do I find this overly sexy. This is a well dressed, well groomed lady with impecable manners. Also Pour Femme does well in summer during extreme heat, provided it is applied with moderation. The green floral powdery notes leaves me feeling clean and refreshed even in stifling heat. I don’t think Pour Femme will really stand out in the modern world, it is not loud and attention grabbing and unique. But it is a solid, charming and clean feminine scent well liked by all who comes near enough to inhale your scent. A truly lovely scent for a lady!
Юрок – :
Very compact-powdery, clean and creamy. A strong like for me. Very similar to Guerlain Insolence EDP. They sure both have violets in their composition although Insolence is sharper and more bitter. Bvlgari is feminine, office friendly and chic without being too loud. Longevity is 7-8 hours and on my skin it’s slightly soapy. I would have liked this better if it was a tad bit sweeter, but it remains a safe go to for formal occasions.
katusha37 – :
Bvlgari Pour Femme is a fairly recent discovery for me (in my bid to try out as many of Sophia Grosjman’s creations as possible)…and I’m pleased to have found it. It’s a lovely, soothing, powdery floral that could be worn on many occasions (including for bed, which is where I am as I type this!).
Violet dominates this perfume overall for me, but initially the rose really stands out. It’s a pure essential oil-type rose, deep and distilled, which combined with the soft, dry, powdery violet is very beautiful.
Sandalwood, iris and jasmine join in eventually, but the violet is the note that lasts all the way through the dry down, giving this a vintage lipstick and compact powder feel that brings to mind the house of Guerlain.
Ever so ladylike. Fairly low sillage, good longevity. Delighted to have chanced upon this.
Mnyajibed – :
Very feminine fragrance!
Most of all I feel iris, violet, peach and musk.
It’s powdery. But it’s pleasantly powdery.
It smells classy and noble.
I think that I will buy this one or the new version.
Besides, I like these Bvlgari bottles:)
msg-1989 – :
Carnations and Violets with jammy rose in the background. Tea and carnation lend a bit of green. Powdery, slightly sweet and sour. Sits close, wilts in the heat.
Hermes01vp – :
I generally love Bvlgari perfumes, but I should have read the reviews of this one before buying it. Like others have said, it is straight up powder — almost headache inducing. I think a client of mine would think that I have applied baby powder to myself if I wear this in public. Will be passing it on.
DiskoNismo – :
In my opinion, this perfume totally stands for its name. It is feminine. It is bright, beautiful (although I do not prefer this adjective with fragrances, I mean this in most positive way), but for me, not naive at all. And even though it is beautiful, powdery and white floral, classically feminine, I haven’t find anything like that till now (okay, except Splendida Iris D’Or, which is practically the same perfume). I find something really special in it, it could be my signature fragrance, but I hate the fact that generally looking it is nothing special. It is classy, nice, and it is like this on anyone. You get instant addiction for its beauty. For perfume designers, this is probably a good thing, but for me, not so much. I don’t want my fragrance to be suited for everyone, it has to be really mine, not that light and suitable. But I love Bvlgari perfumes and I guess I am that much of a conformist, that violet and perfect blend of femininity seduce me. I love it and I wear it a lot, it is one of my favourites.
=Tiger= – :
A beautiful fragrance full of lovely smells. Perfect for a summers day. I love the powdery lilac in this, it feels very elegant , soft and feminine.A real lady like fragrance just lovely. Rating 10/10.
serbalabaev – :
I cant handle it.
Way too powdery, i love my fragrance sparkling. I feel like sitting in dusty room with strong big blooming jasmine bouquet in the center. I love jasmine in real flower, but this concoction seems does not work for me. Just handed almost full bottle to my sister, perhaps she will have a better luck.
Ferz727 – :
Reminds me of bitter almonds and baby powder, its soft and subtle but somehow biting and gives me a headache. I kind of expected a classic 90s yellow floral for some reason. I am sure it is lovely on others (there is a hyacinth note in there which I enjoy) but overall this is not for me.
Volos85 – :
This smells like an expensive baby powder. The opening is kind of sharp but it dries down to a lovey powdery floral With hints of tea and musk.
dimonnnni – :
Wow! Is beautiful! It smells so good and luxurious. It is definitely a perfume for mature and stylish women.
If you like violets and powdery perfumes you should give this a try. Gorgeous! And it lasts all day.
hinelya – :
My story with this fragrance is similar to the one I had with Chanel No. 5. I had to grow to appreciate and love this masterpiece. One colleague used to wear it when I was in my early thirties and although I didn’t disliked it I thought that is smelled a bit old fashioned and well, not for me, so I was never tempted to try it myself. After a while she started using other scents that suited her better and I forgot about it.
Ten years later I found a small sample in my stash and out of curiosity I tried it on me. It was love at the first sniff. Well, not the first but for me was a re-discovery. I don’t know what happened, maybe her chemistry was not right for this perfume, but on me it was pure bliss. I finally bought it and I have been wearing it and loving it more and more.
This, together with the original Forever and Ever Dior and Chanel No. 5, is one of the few scents I can wear in winter and summer, in hot and cold weather and it always radiates this alluring essence of femininity. This is ethereal, a bit powdery with flowers and woods, creamy in a subtle way. The main note is the violet and then the rose. Some iris in the dry down but very shy. It lasts very long and has a good sillage. It is a masterpiece of perfumery.
And you know what? Bvulgari decided this year to reformulate it, to make it more mainstream, less complex, weaker, more fruity and sweet, change the name into Iris D’Or (?) and break my heart.
pingvinius – :
BVLGARI POUR FEMME is a lovely, inviting and sophisticated floral with subtle undertones of spiciness. After a few hours, the powdery quality starts to emerge. At this point I can detect hints of sandalwood, but for the most part, this is a perfume-y type of fragrance and I find that I really don’t pick out individual notes very much. BVLGARI POUR FEMME is warm and not sweet.
On me, the sillage is on the low-moderate side and longevity is excellent. This is one of those fragrances that makes me feel dressed up even when I’m not. I found this fragrance several months ago during a drugstore clearance and sadly, it appears that it has been discontinued. Sigh.
(Batch code 20B49AR2 – manufactured in April 2011)
orgatsreern – :
exceptionally lovely, classy…and discontinued :(. I discovered this beauty in the duty free on my travels to europe and it was so refreshing to smell this fragrance among all the typical duty free fragrances. It is delicate and light but complex. I adore spices in perfume so of course I like the pepper and coriander that bring the powdery and soft florals to life. When I returned home from my trip I discovered that this fragrance has just been discontinued and reissued as Iris d’or. I tested Iris d’or and for me it is a sad shadow of pour femme. It saddens me that so many beautiful and classic perfumes get discontinued.
Jeka7772010 – :
This parfum is so so beautiful my husband’s gift on the last Valentine Day. I never heard of this parfum but I like the brand Bvlgari is high fashion and so expensive. This is a sweet powdery perfume with purple flowers of the violet iris and heliotrope. Is soft and delicate, innocent but mature, romantic, and last a long time. There’s little citrus and orange blossom, a smell of tea, green leaves, wood, and amber. Is elegant, sophisticated, and perfect for wearing with a pretty dress on a romantic date. Is very floral so if you like flowers or fruity floral parfum this will be good for you. In the dry part I smell musk the vanilla the amber and sandalwood. Very nice. I enjoy wearing this as an evening parfum for dinner and formal parties. I love my husband and he love me! Thank you baby!
superxep – :
Powdery Violets is the overwhelming impression from this fragrance, light and fresh for springtime. Perfect for a mature, confidant woman. Reasonable longevity and sillage on me, and I really do like it.
andr11185 – :
Very elegant, soft, warm and comforting scent. This to me is like the Italian take on Chanel No.5 theme. They do not smell exactly the same, but somehow they give me the same feeling. Probable the Iris is responsible for that. I do appreciate the iconic Chanel No.5, but for me Bvlgari Femme is more wearable.
ugums – :
This was a blind buy through the mail. I bought it because it is a Sofia Grojsman creation. I also have Bvlgari Rose Esstielle and love it.
This one is a lovely creature…elegant, feminine and luminous. It took a few minutes for it to bloom on my skin. Then its’ lovely sillage like a bouquet of flowers wafted up to my nose and created a veil of loveliness. This is not a typical perfume. It is soft yet has a strong delicate presence. It needs to be experienced slowly. Sigh…pure poetry.
fbf398Diobtetty – :
This was beautiful.
Now it’s gone. Potent and indulgent violets, mixed with some potent rose and light well-behaved iris. Sometimes iris tends to smell too cool and too powdery in some rather ostentatious iris-based perfumes. Not here though. Just enough coolness and just enough powder.
The balance between the three flowers has been actualized perfectly, with violet being the dominant one on my skin. They are not perfectly blended to me, so you get to experience all three almost individually before the drydown which comes rather quickly. That is the magic of this floral and gently powdery beauty.
What a pity.
PS: One of the most gorgeous bottles in all perfumery imo.
amobaloumpina – :
Such a beautiful classic fragrance. Its a sweet powdery flower bouquet. Very elegant. I also spotted a bottle in waiting to exhale on Whitney’s vanity. <3
ddkor05 – :
My mother wore this one…
Everything about it reminds me of her: luminous, elegant, ladylike. It’s a beautiful powdery floral, all violets and iris, that just radiates freshness.
It had an almost lemony tartness when just sprayed, and settled to a snuggly, sweet puff of cloudy flowers for the rest of the day. My mother’s hugs always smelt like this.
It’s hard to take the nostalgia goggles off when a scent is so closely connected to someone you love, but I think this must be a genuinely great fragrance in it’s own right.
To my horror, I’ve been touring perfumeries only to be told at the Bvlgari counters that this wonderful perfume will no longer be sold, and has been replaced by something called Splendida Iris d’Or.
This Splendida Iris thing smells, to me personally, heavier, flatter, and lacking the sparkle and joy of the original.
Bvlgari Pour Femme: you will be sorely missed.
M-L – :
I smell like a Renoir painting. A still, light portrait of a humble lady posing under a shady tree by the lake.
Definitely not an obnoxious “look at meeeeee” 20th century modern girl in the city kind of smell.
Powdery, dry and ambiguous. There’s no definitive line between one note and another. They’re all muddled into a haze.
Like when you mix all the colors of the rainbow on a palette and just get this unidentifiable mishmash of color.
I have no idea what I smell like and it’s perfect!
This has a moderate sillage but because the smell is so indistinct, it feels quiet. Lasts 10+ hours. Humble but strong-willed.
TRuFFman – :
This review is specifically for the EDT since there isn’t a separate entry on here. :-/
Pour Femme EDT is a beautiful powdery floral. I can’t distinguish any of the notes but then again I don’t have the best sniffer due to severe allergies and sinus problems.
To me, it reads soft but clear like the most luxurious floral body lotion you could ever use. It’s like embracing someone who doesn’t use perfume but has a signature smell due to their shampoo or body wash.
I bet the EDP is the way to go for me since I’d like something a bit stronger, but this is subtle and beautiful in its own way.
Scorpionad – :
A new ,old favourite !
Repurchased this beauty and so happy I did. I forgot what a great elegant,feminine ,soapy lipstick scent this was. I mainly smell violets ,iris powder and roses and it reminds me strongly of all my other favourite perfumes in this category of ladylike lipstick , makeup scents.
Lipstick rose, insolence ,love in black ,,,but mainly it reminds me of Misia chanel exclusifs.
My whole family loves Bvlgari pour femme. I find it suits me extremely well.
I would choose this over many others ,anytime, any day.
skaraila – :
Bvlgari Pour Femme was the first “expensive” perfume I’ve had. My mother gifted this to me when I was 14, a big important age:)) To me this is how my teenage years smelled like, even though this is far away from being a young perfume. It is elegant, refined and so graceful, having a clear character. The iris and violets give Pour Femme an angelic allure, being so smooth and diaphanous. But it also has well defined woody aspects and the specific Bvlgari tea note which gives freshness and even a sense of comfort. A perfume can evoke magnificent emotions and little pieces from our past experiences, and I think that this particularity is the one that brought us together in this amazing world of fumes.

Another one of Grojsman’s miracles I deeply cherish, even though I don’t wear it as often as I used to.
Now that Sotto Voce has been discontinued (and I still really resent that to the Biagiotti house), I’m left with only two of my personal “Grojsman’s Magnificent Trinity” – Vanderbilt and Bvlgari Pour Femme.
Pour Femme is a subtle and beautiful scent, rich but unintrusive, and so pleasantly rounded.
It welcomes you with a bit of citrus notes and Grojsman’s characteristic velvety peach over mild, not too spicy carnation and then it develops into soft, bloomy rose adding freshness to powdery heart (they are all here: iris and orris root, plus heliotrope!). Still, “powder” doesn’t become dominant because it is matched with fresh lily-of-the-valley and jasmine. The cuddling base is vanilla-benzioin-woody and the green tea makes it beautifully airy.
Pour Femme is graceful scent, tender, discrete and distinct, never overpowering and truly elegant.
This scent is a refined elegant beauty, perfect pearl, a Woman.
* love (for sentimental reasons), but actually today a very strong like (2nd bottle)
* longetivity: moderate (up to 6 hours)
* silage: moderate (arms lenght)
* weather/season: Incredibly adaptable fragrance. All year round, but I avoid the summer heat (+25). Day. Casual to formal.
MaxPankov – :
The main accords look right, this is at its best when first sprayed, it stays pleasant on its journey the whole time.
Very baby powder in the middle of it’s life on my skin, warm floral baby powder.
Very good lasting power, from midday till late in the evening.
There’s a slight sweetness which emerges towards the end drydown where it gets a little dusky.
FKTRCFYLH – :
I bought this for my stepmother.
$30 for 3.4 OZ bottle of the EDP.
I don’t like it.
But she loved it.
It’s super floral.
It smells like a wet garden in mid spring…with a hint of sugar.
I’d buy it again for her. but not for my girlfriend…
sillage is a foot away from the body an last six hours plus.
galoba – :
The first time I smelled this was in high school. She was an elfishly cute blonde in ripped up black tights and Doc Martens, and I thought she was the most effortlessly cool person I had ever seen. (Turns out those tights take practice.) I don’t remember her name, but she carried this powdery number off with such girlish charm. I’d never smelled violet in a perfume before, and I was enchanted. Eventually I made it my own.
I’m smelling it for the first time in about sixteen years and am surprised at how much I like it. A peppery carnation that I don’t care for is soon pulled back like a curtain to reveal an ambience that is more pale pink than purple, despite the purple flowers. If it is a color, it is a softly-lit peachy pink, very pale. I don’t mind the powder at all, even though I haven’t worn a powdery scent in a long time. While others have remarked that this is a fragrance for wearing jewels, going to tea and other well-behaved places, my first associations with it will always be stronger. The lesson seems to be this. While Bvlgari Pour Femme may be playing it safe for some, it can be subversively seductive on others.
Jackson81 – :
Bvlgari pour Femme is a masterpiece, tickles my senses most wonderful ways. A recent find for me, and went directly to my top 5, have a back up bottle already. It is so well blended, to me it’s mostly violets with rose, heliotrope and green tea. Makes me feel very feminin, lights up my face, gives inner happiness and comfort. Thank you Sophia Grojsman!
Lutik02101987 – :
My step-children love this as they say it reminds them of me when they first met me 10 years ago… I only wear this in the day and the fact that they had a positive association with the scent warms the cockles of my heart!
soyma – :
Quintessential floral elegance! Sophisticated, flower notes from the most exquisite blooms. Fresh from picking, exuding their sweet gift of scent. Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Violet, Iris, Carnation, Heliotrope, Orange Blossom! A garland of interwoven blossoms. Classic in that it uses the most popular scented flowers in perfume. The spirit and essence of all these in a bouquet tempered by spices and fruits.
The opening is a heady floral rush that almost made me lightheaded, violet somewhat standing out for me. As it dried down, the sweetness was joined by a soft woody accord, that became more noticable as time passed, sandalwood in the lead. Perfect sillage and longevity. Glad I got an FB! This is one to wear anytime!

I love it. On my skin is very floral and it last more than 6 hrs.

“I think that perfume is the music for people’s souls.” Sophia Grojsman
I think she’s right.
I’ve always had such a strong reaction to Bvlgari Pour Femme. It’s emotional. I know it. It’s the reason I reach for it so frequently. The trick for me is to figure out WHAT my psyche loves about this creation. Why I’m so contented by it, why the pretty is so peaceful. What is it I react to in this composition? What song does this Grojsman sing to my soul? Sure, I might be overthinking it, BUT…it makes me happy to do so.
I know I love the lightness of Bvlgari Pour Femme. Anything heavier would fail to uplift me in the same way.
I love the delicacy, the tenderness. Anything stronger would overpower me.
I love the femininity, the grace, the simple sophistication and the allure it engenders. I am woman, after all 🙂

My wife using this fragrance and i love that.
Pure powdery, elegant and classic.
So charming.

LiesyWordries – :
Just bought a decant of this perfume because i’m curious how this perfume smells haha.
it is a floral, light powdery, fresh soapy, elegant scent. This fragrance could be worn by women age above 25. A bit loud at the opening notes, but let it settle down for 5-10 minutes, and you’ll get a fresh floral-powdery-soapy scent, very classy scent!
When to wear this fragrance? all occasion, casual or even formal, very versatile scent for sure.
Owejoitte – :
It’s a powdery floral composition, which is very classy and elegant. I don’t like the opening so much, it’s powdery and spicy, with lots of carnation, pepper and orris. Later on it settles to become a remarkable scent. I can only picture a confident, sexy and elegant woman wearing it. I’m surprised that rose is listed so high, I don’t get it at all.
jmhjwccaaip – :
Why does this perfume last on me only for 10 minutes. At the beginning it reminds me of Elizabeth Arden True Love.
I would like this to last longer on my skin, im very disappointed 🙁
Nokia 3600 – :
Class in a bottle!
I bought this blindly on Amazon.com and I hope to God that this is the same fragrance that was created by Ms. Sophia Grosjman the Mistress of All Perfumes! This is a beautiful and well-behaved floral fragrance. I thought with all the notes that it would be a bit too much or perhaps an Oriental intellectual scent a la Byzance or Giorgio Beverly Hills Red, or Krizia Teatro Alla Scala or Opium, Coco, you get the picture. But no. This is a sweet and elegant woman’s perfume. It smells so good and so soft and you can take her to your dinner dates without fearing the scent will clash with the food or your date. It’s just such a pretty perfume!
The first spritz is a peach and orange blossom that didn’t thrill me. It’s typical Sophia Grojsman fruit flavored fragrance with top notes of fruit. It is definitely peach and a bergamot orange, but in comparison to scents like Tresor or Ex-clamation it’s less fruity. It doesn’t take long to get into the floral notes of rose, carnation, heliotrope, lily of the valley, jasmine, and iris. The florals are both heady, sweet and powdery. The note of orris root is pure powder. It’s really delicate and soft like a little veil or scarf.
At the dry down the fragrance is deeper and stronger but never intrusive. It’s a woodsy dry down with equal parts of vanilla, green tea, sandalwood, musk and benzoin. It’s warm and smells like the bottom of a tea cup after you have finished the tea. It’s a bit spicy but never too much. It’s a bit like a whisper of an Oriental. It doesn’t remind me of any fragrance but at times it seems to be a skeletal L’Heure or Oscar de La Renta Esprit with more fruit, or a Boucheron Jaipur which I think is also Sophia Grojsman’s doing. This is beautiful and sweet, inoffensive.
While it is soft and sits close to your skin, it is elegant and way too classy to wear to work. So it’s up to you to wear her to dinners, weddings, Church, or any formal event or occasion. Gorgeous. My favorite part is the floral heart with sweet powdery iris and violet and rose combination and the vanilla and tea/amber at the dry down. A stunner of a perfume. Smells more expensive than the price so it’s a steal! Go and get it!
AtromeHet – :
I really love this scent! It is very womanly, sexy, sweet, classy and distinct. It is definitely a classic and I have emptied many bottles. You can wear it both during winter and summer and it smells like no other perfume. Definitely a charm!
Tortik – :
Review for the eau de parfum: if I could only use two words to describe Bvlgari pour femme they would be ‘Sophia Grojsman’. It smells exactly like her creations , unmistakably feminine.
On me it is very peachy-floral-powdery, with the iris dominant and the rose and maybe the violet in the background.
It is surprisingly strong for a Bvlgari, and I find it is more appropriate for cool spring temperatures, might feel too much in hot weather.
Overall, even though I felt overwhelmed from its opening I am in love with the soft, womanly drydown. Would love my little daughters to associate me and our cuddles with it, it’s that good. Thank you Sophia❤️

Everything is already said here, another beauty by bvlgari that I keep on my shelf and wear with joy. Stays on long and radiates well.

When I wear it, I feel like Jackie O, Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn all rolled into one divine, dynamite, elegant lady.
la-lotus – :
I’ve been wearing this off and on for about 15 years. Loved it then, love it now. I detect a bit of a change in the formula (less tea perhaps?) but it doesn’t annoy me. The is a very classic, clean, fresh, slightly soapy scent suitable for any occasion, any season. Some people here detect powderiness with this and I find it to be minimal on me and hasn’t set off any allergies for the people around me. I had one fragrance that was so powdery that I actually felt “asthmatic” and very sick. This is not that powdery for me.
If you were to ask me, “what does it smell like in terms of other scents?” I would have to say it’s a rosier version of Daisy Eau So Fresh with tea added and no green note. If you smelled Rose Essentielle, it’s basically this fragrance with a little patchouli added and the raspberry in this is changed out to blackberry in Rose Essentielle,
It’s getting hard to find and the department stores tell me it’s discontinued? Really, I find this hard to believe. This is like the flagship fragrance for the brand. You can still find it online and even on the Bvlgari site though. I pray it’s just a change in packaging or maybe have to make a slight tweak in the formula for IFRA regulation compliance. Any case, if they still make it another 15 years, I’ll continue to buy it.

WOW
Closing my eyes inhaling this fragrance right now as it wears on my skin. I spritzed this beautiful perfume on my neck and wrists. This is what I’m wearing later tonight at a dinner party. I will be performing as chanteuse for a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary. This fragrance matches up with my evening gown. Gorgeous floral fragrance. A lot of amazing scents thrown into one classy fantastic fragrance. This starts with some sweet fruit. I could smell the bergamot, the peach and raspberry. It then turns into flowers: carnation, rose, jasmine, heliotrope and lily of the valley. Just a very lovely floral bouquet. The fragrance develops into a dry down of tea, like an herbal tea, and it also has warm golden amber and woods. It also has some vanilla. This is a luxurious fragrance and smells like a million dollar. This is one of those affordable luxuries. It smells like it ought to cost more money. I feel the same way about fragrances like First Van Cleef & Arpels, Amarige and Esprit D’Oscar. This is just such a beautiful fragrance. It has everything I look for in a classy perfume to wear with my hair up and an evening gown. I could even call this a wedding perfume. It’s just so special and such a rare beauty that it’s like a very expensive gown that you wear only once or at least very infrequently. None of the reviews are lying folks. This is such a brilliant gorgeous to die for perfume. I can’t wait to spritz it on again tonight in the hotel bathr
