For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. I just recently was given Philosophy Gingerbread Girl lotion as a gift and it smells very simular to BlV because it smells of fresh ginger and if anyone wanted to layer BLV with lotion, this would be a perfect one. Bvlgari fragrances were made in collaboration with perfumers Annick Menardo, Alberto Morillas, Jacques Cavallier, Sophia Grojsman, Beatrice Piquet, Carlos Benaim, Sophie Labbe, Olivier Polge, Daniela (Roche) Andrier, Nathalie Lorson and Jean-Claude Ellena. Update: Now that I bought it and tested it for longer hours, I can say it's not a hint of citrus notes but rather sandalwood and musk.

While I have used perfumes that did not go with my chemistry, this is the only one that I had to literally scrub off of my skin to remove the smell. I do get, especially in the drydown, a nice dose of wisteria, acacia which, to me, smells like honey, and flax. A surprising fragrance characterized by a sophisticated bouqet which embodies unexpected olfactive contrast.Transforms into a powdery floral which later on transforms into a creamy, lotion-type scent (Nivea-esque on me for sure). Babama çok yakıştırırım ben şahsen) Zencefilin yanında kakulenin verdiği hafif bergamotumsu hava çok dengeli ve güzel işlenmiş. 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. Add some cheap air freshener for the bathroom, and a hefty amount of freshly squeezed, and very sharp lemons, and you have BLV. It's also a unique scent, couse if you don't know what to put on you can use it without thinking too long.

Lately when I go out an sniff perfumes I either shrug in indifference or wrinkle my nose, having been deeply offended. Blu is one for a seriously sexy woman and yet, on the right skin, a man can get away with wearing it too.And to close the door with a golden key, we have a delicious and balanced mix of sandalwood with vetiver, in the base.

Just curious if it has a wonderful smell since I have Aqua and Homme Soir, and both smell delicious. And now its also similar to the female version- Bvlgari BLV pour femme (the very first BLV which also I own). At first inhale, I was unsure what to make of it… not feminine, imo, but not a typical “man scent” either. A real shame it is discontinued, I count myself lucky to have found a tester set of Bvlgari perfumes, which included this gem. This is a third, after Prada Infusion d'Iris and Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc, perfume that my hubby said he likes on me, so I'll be wearing Blv often.BLV as a whole is a beauty of a warm weather scent, with its' light florals, woods and fresh, spicy ginger.
