it is interesting how many people get confused or better corrupt by the name and the bottle 🙂
this is not just clean soft and fresh
it is quit complex with many spices (coriander, cardamom, pepper)
it is warm (amber, musk, jasmine , rose)
and little bit fresh by green tea notes
it can be worn in winter and in autumn, evening and day
it is not soft fresh citrusy summer cologne
but warm spiced tea musky clean scent but in different way

I’m shocked to see so many votes comparing this to EA’s White Tea. I love EA’s White Tea, but Blvgari au The Blanc on my skin smells like a cheap chemical smelling hairspray from the 70’s and early 80’s, when many women got the tease-spray, over and over, tease-and-spray some more, until a little cloud of spray could be seen lingering above their heads. I kept waiting for au The Blanc to dry down and/or pick up some note, any note, but it unfortunately stayed the very chemical hairspray smell from decades gone by. My mouth is still agape at the ‘this reminds me of’ comparison list..au The Blanc reminds me of none of those fragrances (some are my faves, too..haha..) But to each their own! 🙂

This is a very luxurious fresh scent with a lovely hint of musk! I love it!

If you want to smell like clean skin and nothing else…this is your scent. It smells like clean skin, towel dried, right out of a hot shower with ‘citrus & tea’ scented bar-soap. Soft, close to the skin. Perfect for those who are sensitive to scents. Something I imagine doctors and nurses would wear. It sort of reminds me of Elizabeth Arden’s 5th Avenue After Five, except After Five is sharper, stronger and not as gentle. Both have that clean, sterile scent that evokes white rooms, white curtains, soft fluffy white towels, body lotion and ovoid bars of white soap…a little creamy, a little powdery, refreshing but not sharp, white tea, gentle citrus and light musk. Soft, clean, clean and clean. Unisex, but leans feminine. For a scent so light it’s barely there, it has impressive longevity…I get 6 hours on my skin, I can smell it though others can’t. Perfect for the warmest of summers.

Bvlgari au the Blanc is a favorite of mine. I received a small tincture of the mini last year as a gift, and wore it on a trip to Norway. I was camping there, and really appreciated the simple, clean scent of this fragrance. The scent is light, soft and unobtrusive. I love that it is just enough to turn heads, but not enough to overwhelm. A girlfriend of mine remarked that she could just catch a few of the soft notes on the wind, and asked me what I was wearing, which is a nice thing to hear after a few days on the trail. The notes in this fragrance that stand out most to me are orange blossom, amber, tea and musk. The pepper is there, but it is not overdone. The truth is, this fragrance evokes a mental picture of Water Lillies, and a sense of calm for me when I wear it. It’s great for a rainy day, when moisture in the air holds it on your skin and carries it on the breeze.
dima3838 – :
I love the vert, but I’m absolutely anosmic to this scent.. it doesn’t smell like anything and I really wonder what others are smelling in this. It really bothers me that I can’t make out any kind of smell from this 🙁
zizop10 – :
Nowadays in shops smell like the original from 1992 ??? or is reformulated, smell different?
latiniste – :
I love Eau Parfumée au Thé Rouge from this line, which is why I wanted to test this one as well, even though it doesn’t look like my thing at all; musk and spices in prominent places in the notes pyramid usually make me dismiss a fragrance on sight. But I’m so glad I made the exception, because I was surprised by how much I actually like it.
This must be the cleanest, most “pure” scent I’ve ever smelled – “white” really is the word for it. It’s very well blended, and the individual notes aren’t really discernable, which is just the way I like it in this case: the musk isn’t animalic at all, and the pepper isn’t especially spicy, they just mix with the tea to make a fluffy cloud of clean but not sharp freshness. Elegant but also very comfortable, and great after a shower, as some reviewers have pointed out.
For such a light scent the longevity and sillage aren’t bad either, which makes it an even better candidate for summer wear, for both men and women. It still doesn’t really feel like “me”, and II already have so many scents that do, so however much I appreciate this I probably won’t get more of it. But I’m very glad I tested this – it’s certainly broadened my taste a little more, and I won’t be as quick to dismiss musky scents anymore.
sany4ek – :
My personal favorite , this smells like my childhood memories all combined as a scent. Hazy pastoral fluffy smooth misty white tea.
Messer – :
Soft, serene, skin zenscent. I wear this one for me.
waduum – :
Very clean and refreshing greeny scent. Tea combined with pepper and musk. Works great together. Perfect choice for hot summer days.
The musk gives it some depth as well, so the smell gets quite attractive at some point.
Overall it’s great and well balanced creation from Bvlgari. But I would say it’s slightly more feminime than masculine.
Rezar 123 – :
My favourite of the line on papper only, but honestly I have better black pepper scents. I thoughg I would love this line, but its not jiving with my chemistry.
More green to my nose that The Vert version. Unfortunetly I had high hopes for Tea notes in general but its not working atm

cxq747Bessinepome – :
Someone said, that this feels like a breath of fresh air and I couldn’t agree more. I also own Ommia Crystalline and Wood Sage & Sea Salt and while I agree that those are all in the same category (clean, calming, fresh), I think Bvlgari is the best out of those. It’s so easy to wear.
I have also tested Elizabeth Arden’s White Tea and Bvlgari The Blanc side by side and they are VERY similar, but not exactly the same. Arden’s White Tea is more powdery and sweet, while Bvlgari is more ozonic. But when you spray them on and wear them for some time, you can’t really tell a difference. So if you are looking for a budget version of Bvlgari, you should absolutely check out Elizabeth Arden’s White Tea.
strannik11 – :
The simplest soapiest most innocent and straightforward of all the Bvulgari Tea themed fragrances. This parfum can be worn day to day at work in a public environment an office school hotel airport airplane anywhere. The matching soap and hair conditioner and shampoo was my first intro to this scent. I first smelled it at a hotel in Milan Italy the Principe di Savoia. This was a very milky clean fresh scent with a nod to older white floral stuff almost but not quite like my beloved Fracas. It is white floral though the white flowers are not singing high notes but humming a chorus.
The opening notes are redolent with citruses and greenish herbal scents. My nose detects the scent of the bitter orange like a strong oily orange juice spilled on a wooden table. This is not too powerful or otherwise it would have been furniture polish. This is instead a very perfumy tolerable citrus based intro. The bergamot is quite delicious and evocative of a light citrusy white tea. The orange blossom is lovely but not quite the orange blossom I experience on other fragrances. This is more bitter orange to me. The bitterness matches up with the subsequent and developing notes of tea. Smells of both a jasmine tea and a ginger tea. The spices are subdued next to the jasmine but one can still catch whiffs of ginger cardamom and coriander spice notes. Lightly spicy and safely floral. There’s a white rose note in there as well.
Finally the dry down is a clean very clean white musk smell with wood and amber. The amber note is not as big as I would like but it’s there as are the woodsy notes. There’s a clean soapy effect to the dry down. This smells like freshly laundered clothing and clean shirts and clean skin. It’s not a white themed fragrance for nothing. Smells of pristine white clean things – clean white blouse or suit, clean marble floors clean bathroom counters clean hand soap. So ultimately this is an easy to wear daily day wear scent to wear when you want something no nonsense and simple. It’s unisex despite the jasmine and rose as the prevalent note is the white musk in the end with the right amount of tea. Heavenly. I can’t wear this without the matching soap and conditioner/shampoo. Great for after your shower or bath.

This is a fragrance that is in love with my skin. It blends so well with my natural smell it’s unbelievable, and I am saying this since I have smelled it on a couple of friends as well and we all agreed that this is really one of those scents that changes according to skin chemistry.
This is a fantastic natural smell. You can feel the delicacy of the tea, the romance of the white floral notes, the warm quality of wood and the cosy super clear musk.
But this is not one of those fragrances that you actually get notes. It is one smell where all notes made something incredible, and let me elaborate…
This smells sensual, fresh in a lacustrine or pool water way, romantic and undeniably elegant. Whatever is in that bottle is of high quality.
This is the perfume I’d wear in Japan, because it is soothing, disciplined, minimal and stylish. Also, it projects softly, which is great because usually people don’t wear fragrances in Japan, or at least sillage bombs. Whenever I’m wearing my geta sandals, this definitely is the fragrance I’m going for because it really makes me think about the beauty and serenity of Japan. (Kenzo Pour Homme also does this to me)
I am giving it 4 stars only because I would like it to be a tad stronger. In order for me to have the desired effect, I use the whole product line, I’m using the shower gel, the body lotion and then I spray the EdC on my clothing. All those together are quite a high price, but it is the only way for me to enjoy it and get the longevity out of it. I don’t mind the low sillage, it fits in its minimalistic concept, but I want to smell it on me for more than 3 hours, and the EdC on its own doesn’t do the trick.
In conclusion, one of the most elegant, effortless and soothing fragrances I’ve ever smelled, the best out of the Eau Parfumee line, a fragrance that is unisex but can be more interesting on a guy because it is not an obvious men’s cologne type of scent, therefore it will make a nice surprize.
Make this last longer and the 5 stars will be earned in a heartbeat!
mixalych1982 – :
Au The Blanc is for time spent with yourself. It’s relaxing, meditative, and transparent. The spices add a slight edge of sophistication. Sillage is close to skin. Good for yoga or snuggling up with a good book.
jzw401Negeltzex – :
A sophisticated, minimalist skinscent. White tea, white musk, pepper, clean linens. Suggestive of large, open, clean spaces. A scent for when wearing white cotton clothes and walking on the beach.
Legion2003 – :
One of my favorites. It was the only I Bulgari perfume I bought after Omnia EDP (dark orange bottle). They really got it right with Thé Blanc. I had this one back in 2006 and then couldn’t find anymore, until last year. It was a very good surprise to have it back. I simply love this fragrance: it’s clean, sexy, fresh and spicy at the same time, and green. I think it is a sophisticated scent, discrete, the kind of perfume you wear it to yourself, it’s like air. Its scent is nothing alike Light Blue, but a fragrance that you have to come close to smell is very appealing to me. Not overpowering nor invasive, for sure. I could sum it up to a breath of fresh air in a bottle. Soft silage, it lasts for 4h on my skin. Fresh, discrete, elegant. What’s not to love…
mazurvdim – :
I used the shampoo and my hair smelled incredible all day. Really sensual, my boyfriend loved it.
EXelent – :
OMG! I LOVE this fragrance so much. I cannot believe this was used in some hotels…it is quite expensive right now.
Anyway I love the way it smells. I only wish it lasted longer. I like to spray it on my close to dry, long hair. My hair smells so nice after that. I love the fresh, pepper, white tea flours smell. I tried the green tea perfumed water but I didn’t like it. It’s the white one that got under my skin. They say it’s unisex, but I find it quite feminine. For my it is more of a summer fragrance.
Shamf – :
Today I received a sample of au the blanc, sincerely I never heard before about this perfume and I also thought this was a women fragrance.
It starts with a light undefined floral then it gets sort of powdery/musky similar to a baby powder.
It feels like a composition that tries to please both sides, the feminine and masculine but in the end it stays in a safe and unremarkable position. Sillage seems to be minimal.
It’s a clean scent, EXTREMELY safe to wear. If I find I good deal I could definitely buy it but for $100+ I’m not so sure.

Rose – :
My least favorite of Bvlgari’s tea line. I like au the Vert and au the Rouge, but this one lacks personality and just smells blah to me and has no longevity.
alex4515 – :
What can I say?I’m totally in love with this scent.It’s like a little miracle,a fragrance that is fresh without being citrusy,an airy fragrance,calming,ozonic,alluring.The musky drydown is wonderful,and gives a comforting sense of cleansiness.It’s purely WHITE.In my opinion it’s suitable both for men and women,but I think this fragrance is more appreciated by the feminine gender.A masterpiece!
queewsmeeld – :
This is the one that opened the world of Bvlgari scents to me. Like many I first smelled it in my shampoo at the Ritz Carlton and was utterly mesmerized.
I recently bought this for my fiancé for Christmas, and I’ve assured her I won’t use too much of it because she is head-over-heels – as she has some days when strong scents like her beloved Dior Addict can give her a headache.
For a lighter scent that will still turn heads in amazement, look no further.
ukrainecloz – :
oh my god . All I want to say is this one is so strong . So fresh grass smell . Make me uncomfortable. Maybe better for hairy man .
game_Racer – :
Wore this perfume today,still deciding if i like it or not? Thinking maybe a little masculine for me. Also reminds me of CK One
JelenaKre – :
Wonderful clean scent with a hint of pepper but it’s not overly spicy. It is musky but it’s a light musk. If I could get my husband to wear a cologne this would be a contender but it doesn’t read unisex to me. This is a masculine scent. It’s not an old fashion/classic mens scent and it wouldn’t be odd for a woman to wear it but I would still think she got it from the men’s section (which is, of course, totally fine).
iex538elipseskism – :
I like the scent, it’s very nice and natural smelling. Smells like spicy tea scent.
Luxurious and expensive smelling, classy.
It has just a little bit of that masculine tone to it, but mostly, it’s feminine.
A bit soapy, but good in every way.
Suitable for someone who is elegant, loves natural scents and luxury.
Baylog – :
I really love this! To me it smells just like a rain in the early morning…the drops falling on garden tea leaves …so ozonic. Very realistic, if I close my eyes I could swear it had just rained, cleansing the air with freshness. A very beautiful tea scent to wear to feel relaxed and cooling.
Just lovely. Very much a fragrance of outdoors and nature…
aleksey1981 – :
A very pretty fragrance indeed. Perfect for Summer. It has that same pleasant waft like Infusion de Iris by Prada. Smells innocent, clean, feminine and pure. If Angels existed and they had a perfume, it would be this one. Simply lovely. Lately I’ve really noticed the difference in the quality and composition of perfumes. There’s such a difference in the cheaper celebrity scents and the ones that cost a bit more. I really would rather pay more and smell like this than have four cheaper different smells that just remind me of candy and toffee apples most of the time.
Gusrifhm – :
I just got this. It’s very light and airy. Definitely smells of tea and clean sheets to me. I love it although you do have to re-apply quite a bit because it disappears after a couple hours. I honestly don’t mind reapplying. I guess I love fragrance way too much to care. This is something you don’t have to worry about over-spraying. I initially got this because I owed the body lotion first which is stronger in my opinion but smells equally amazing and they would pair well so I suggest layering both the lotion and the fume if you want it to last a bit longer. Over-all, this is a clean, quiet, sirene, spring/summer fragrance. Or the type you’d wear before bed. I like wearing tea fragrances in the summer. This is definitely something I’d be wearing throughout this season and to the beach along with my other beach fragrances which are more tropical, marine, salty.
I am a little confused about the packaging and colors. The one I got has a silver cap and the lines on the box are of the same color but some I’ve seen online and on fragrantica, they advertise both the silver cap and a golden cap with gold lines on the packaging. Is there a difference or does the gold even exist?
vanyasen – :
Cleanly floral with an understated musk base note. Fresh and light, almost not there (it *is* an eau). Clean and inoffensive, subtle.
DavidVH – :
Faint, peppery, barely there, fresh scent. I tried this because I love the White Tea by Westin line. But White tea by Westin still smells a lot better :L
скуби – :
Smells almost medicinal – peppery notes mixed with an earthy scent. Very bizarre and not quite sure whether I like it or not. Doesn’t last very long on me, and is very subtle – not my cup of tea.

iluha0208 – :
Beautiful scent, very light, floral, is close to the skin, just divine. I smell orange, bergamote and rose in it. The sent is very airy, inviting, crispy fresh morning, bright sunny day kind of perfume. I would say it would work best with gauzy white linen dress. It has such a youth appeal of innocense. I love this scent very deeply.
Plaliebsime – :
This makes me think of a brunette moving barefoot through the afternoon rays of a naked, worn wood floor, opening the windows to let in rural breeze. Linen shirt, old favourite jeans, and a cup of tea steaming on the table. There is an elegance to this to be certain, but also excitement, freshness and that just showered, hotel soap exquisite feeling. I really, really like this and it’s a fragrance I’ve had in the edge of my thoughts for some time.. I really quite love the smell of shampoo and clean skin, even laundry, and this seems to quantify all those scents into the one fragrance, while still being striking and feminine and perfume-y.
This you could get away with in most occasions – it would be something unexpected and seductive in winter and icicle-cool and bright on a summer’s day. I really do get a relaxed, comforting vibe from this one. I may … dare I say it.. have found a signature with this.
Kuser76 – :
I like the tea range but I’m agnostic on this one. I think it’s more feminine than masculine. The bathroom range that went with it had a body lotion which gave me a filthy headache yet the soap was lovely and clean and fresh. The soap was so nice I used it sometimes to lather up for shaving. The cologne itself is pleasant enough but I don’t feel like forking out the money they ask for it.
Gumdeo – :
This is my signature scent and if I could buy it by the bucket, I would. It just smells THAT GOOD! What does it smell like in one word? Petrichor. Brings back childhood memories of smelling the scent of the first summer rains in the savannah climate. Its simple, delicate, light, soft, clean and just sexy. Damn it! I love it!
alexxxx161 – :
Ammonia + cardamom + pencil shavings + plastic.
I had high hopes for this one, since everyone seems to at least LIKE it. It sounded perfect and clean. But no… what is that urine smell? Is it pepper?
vinodel – :
This is an amazing fragrance!! I will always love it.
Au the blanc is probably the one that will work for more people than the vert or rouge. It’s so light, but at the same time, you can catch whiffs of it without it giving you a headache.
I smell a lot of the “tea” part which, of course, I’m supposed to. But I get a really relaxing, therapeutic experience from it, which benefits me so much because I have anxiety. Just smelling my wrists throughout the day with this on helps me keep calm and recollect myself.
The longevity isn’t very good, that’s my only negative. I can spray twice within a 15 minute time frame and it’s like it just disappears pretty fast. For that reason, the bottle lasts less time, and the price isn’t quite justified to me. It’s something to definitely look at, one that’s great for all times of the year, the office, church, anywhere where you’ll be around lots of people because it’s so calming and inoffensive and you’re sure to get compliments!
So for me 6/10
zadarma2000 – :
The amber is quite strong, and turns this into a mess on my skin (amber usually does). Strong for an Eau Parfumee. Definitely test before buying.If this is too strong, and you were hoping for something airier and calmer, try Eau Parfumee au The Vert.
Soldat93 – :
Light, soft, slightly sweet.
This is a lovely combination of ozonises, green and fresh, with a slight sweetness of white flowers and a musky undertone.
Very wearable. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this perfume.
5 stars from me.
I’m going to edit this to take a star off. I’m left with one word neon lit – “insipid”.
Sorry Au The Blanc, you sit on my skin with all the promise of a chisel jawed hunk in a dinner jacket promising me the night of my dreams…… but then three hours later I’m left with the kind of guy who makes you go Dutch and then thanks you for kissing them.
The love affair is over before it has begun…
Darku – :
this is my signature fragrance.
Soft sensual. Not long last.
Good for work.
ijo592JeomiWogkig – :
One of my most loved ones. I had this when I was 13-14-15 and ordered a sample recently to enjoy some time travel.
It’s so ethereal and divine, soft, relaxing and at the same time classy – unlike other two from the line, this I find more suitable for social activities, especially office wear.
I will be buying a second bottle soon, it deserves a permanent place in my collection.
keenosseKig – :
it is very soft, incredibly soft to the point were you feel like you are not using perfume at all and then sometimes you’ll catch a whiff here and there, is a very pleasant skin scent , sillage is almost none existent , omnia is a powerhouse compared to the blanc
wolt – :
Thé vert is more unisex to my nose than thé blanc, which is powdery, fresh and musky, and overall quite feminine..when thé vert is more leafy and citrusy, therefore more unisex..
I had thé blanc a while back, just not too much my cup of tea, too powdery fluffy whitish ozonic for me..
I gave it to my mother in law, which loves it!!
Dimas44Bobrik – :
I’m sure there’s a difference between this and au the vert (which I like), but I’d have to have them on side by side paper strips to judge.
I like this one, but, wow, is it ever light! I tried a sample on myself and it just sort of disappeared. It’s way too subtle and dainty for me.
rch463elipseskism – :
I tested this today. I really didn’t like the opening notes. I almost wiped it off. I found it very sharp upon the initial spray. But after 10-15 minutes, it became softer…comforting even. I note the scent of tea along with something that makes it lean a little masculine on me. But I still really enjoyed it and kept sniffing my wrists. I’m not sure if I’ll buy it since it did head in the masculine direction. But it’s one that I may try a few more times in order to decide.
sneg.84 – :
Well, I liked this one much more than I expected. I’m not a big fan of tea fragrances and funny enough Eau Parfumee au The Blanc is more of a white musk scent rather than a white tea scent.
Have you ever soaked oat flakes in warm water? I adore this gentle, sweet, soothing, milky scent. Eau Parfumee au The Blanc smells very much like that, only fresher and slightly spiced. There are subtle floral nuances and some soft grounding wood in the drydown (driftwood maybe?) but it’s the musk that dominates. Not an animalic musk here but neither particularly ozonic/soapy.
Smells closer to high quality toiletries like a luxurious shower cream and fresh body lotion. May be too simple and tame but I find it relaxing and soothing, gives senses a rest. A totally genderless skin scent. Thumbs up from me.
dimon01026 – :
White tea is my favourite kind of hot drink, so I was curiuos about this scent. I expected this to be quite masculine, but after trying it I absolutely fell in love. This perfume makes me feel so peaceful and calm. It’s very subtle, perfect for business meetings. The reviewer who wrote that this scent feels very zen is totally right. And last, but not least the longevity is superb.
Merty088Unlogrere – :
pure, fresh soft clean tea and tea scent
very original and beautiful
it is scent scent if you find yourself in the close room or in car and some put it too much it wont bother you 🙂
cbaa – :
Every liquor shop I’ve ever walked into has this smell. Maybe it has something to do with the dark wood, the smell of glass and dust; the liquid shadow at the back of every shelf.
Like Dior’s classic, Diorella, it is a fresh scent, but I would never call it, “clean.” There is a lingering closeness that reminds me of the bottom of a bottle… A sustained sweetness, like the memory of a night left behind. Like a hot breath on the window of a taxi, jeweled with rain; or slept in bed sheets, crumpled and very white.
Anyway, that’s how it wears on my skin. Gets into my hair too. Reminds me of when I used to smoke.
I’ve just ordered myself a small bottle of it. I’ve put it off for months because I’d like to believe I’m more sophisticated than that. Couldn’t resist though.
Something about February makes me yearn for it.
eugenu_ev – :
I’ve been hunting this fragrance for sometime, the only way is to blind buy it since they dont carry this line in my country. I loved the smell of White Tea bath products at Westin hotels & some blog reviews said this is quite similar.
Bought mine from FragranceX, arrived within 2 weeks time to my house. Overall packaging seems legit. It was also my first purchase from them so i’m a bit anxious.
Now this is a straight white tea peppery fragrance, i kinda liked the silage but unfortunately not really resembles the White Tea Aloe bath products. Sniffing close to the skin, it got even musky peppery. Very neutral & clean. Good for everyday where we don’t think much about what to wear.
Edit: The longer it stays on my skin, the similar it is to that Westin shampoo….yay! I literally bathed in this yesterday & the scent stick onto my clothes till the next morning…mission accomplished! 😀 Although i not recommend sniffing this very closely, just enjoy the wafting aroma.
stock220 – :
I recommend Eau Parfumee au The Blanc by Bvlgari to those working in the healthcare industry, and to anyone with a no-perfume policy at work, or for that matter to anyone who needs to spend time with their perfume hating family.
Eau Parfumee au The Blanc wears like a skin scent and is a pretty, sparkling, natural-smelling, mild-rounded white tea scent with a hint of cardamom and an even tinier hint of black pepper. It does indeed smell like a tea-scented soap, or lotion. It is gentle but not weak. It projects very well considering it’s a cologne. Very soothing. Longevity is decent.
The tea note reminds me of the jasmine green tea fragrance which was released and then discontinued by L’Occitanne. This is a very nice fragrance indeed, but I personally like my fragrances to have more heft and presence than this one does, though what this one DOES do, it does quite well.
ax2886 – :
I love this! It is a cologne and not a perfume, therefore it doesn’t have longevity. I prefer to wear it to bed. It is very clean and fresh smelling. It also has a calming effect which is why I prefer to wear it at night in bed. To me, it smells like a very clean, fresh, floral soap.
yurnik271 – :
My mother in law wears this, it is crisp, refreshing and powdery..I can imagine it is refreshingly nice on a hot day..that said, it isn’t anything I like wearing, it has its place though in the perfume world..maybe it smells a bit aseptic to my nose..like what a hospital nurse would wear..but it isn’t smooth, or feminine, it lacks something..reason why it is clean and cool..could a guy pull if off!? not sure..maybe..but a bit powdery for a guy.

If i could rename this, i would call it HEAVEN. That’s it!!!!!
VESNA_701 – :
I just wore this again after a couple of months, and it was like coming home. I had forgotten what a calming and lovely fragrance this is. Although I love it any time, I have to say it comes alive in the warm months. The combination of pepper and white tea is so fresh and clean, and unlike anything I have smelled. This is by far my most complimented fragrance. Although I feel like I can’t smell it on my skin after a few hours, my husband often tells me how great I smell when I crawl into bed at night after having worn it all day with no reapplication. This better not ever be discontinued – I don’t ever want to be without this fragrance in my collection!
stendek – :
This is love and love is easy.
I almost used up my second bottle of this and I still am really in love with it.
It’s an easy choice for any day when I don’t want to think of what to wear. It’s breezy, non offensive, even calming. It smells good and clean. I love love it.
Now I really have to consider buying a different fragrance. I’m still hooked on this one. *sigh*
mama841 – :
It opens with delicious milky, fresh tea with a hint of spices (cardamom and peber) and citrus. I wish it could stay like that. But unfortunately for me, the musk soon sets in, together with a perfumery-soapy hint, and takes over the scent. It doesn’t get bad, but for five minuts it had such a nice, natural smell..

Wow, maybe I smelled a bad tester but the initial spray made me really gag. I think something about it has that chinese medicine mix scent – probably the combination of wood and spices. It smelled astringent for me which is weird because it’s tea-centric with clean musk. I’m going to assume something off was with the tester…
The drydown was better – a bit sweet and warm but with that lingering woods and chinese medicine smell. I’ve had similar odd experiences with bvlgari so maybe their formulations just don’t suit me =/

Honestly, this one has been really hard for me to try and describe, probably because it’s on the weak side. It starts out as an almost grassy aquatic, but with a honey-like sweetness that you only notice at the end of each sniff. The vague, transparent leafy-flowery musk that sets in is pretty unisex…it gets my kudos over unisex scents that lean too far to one side or the other. While it doesn’t smell like the original Bulgari Pour Homme per se, it’s very similar in being a “stealth” scent, as someone recently commented in the forum. By the end, the leafy musk starts to pick up a bit of an overripe-flower edge, which I could do without, but it’s not enough to annoy. It partly resembles the reedy or bamboo-y basenote that I like in Allure Edition Blanche, the new Guerlain Vetiver, or the new Eau Sauvage, but is slightly sweeter like AdP Colonia Intensa. I definitely recommend at least trying this stuff even though (or because?) I don’t really know what it smells like. Just be prepared to apply a fair amount.

So nice. This would be in my top 5 skin-scents, definitely. Sparkling top, followed by gra
