Bvlgari Man
Bvlgari Man by Bvlgari is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2010 in the designer price tier. It opens with violet leaf, pear and grapefruit, moves into sandalwood, cashmere wood and iris and dries down to amber, musk, benzoin and tonka bean. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
