BLV Eau de Parfum II

Wanna smell like an ice goddess? Wear this. I have a thing for "yellow" fragrances lately, the super strong and sweet, powdery, spicy citrusy type, so I decided to take break and get me some of this. It has all the notes I have always loved, plus more! The lasting power on me is not so great in this summer heat, but it get's better as night falls and becomes more windy, and will probably better as the days get cooler. This elixir is just fresh and SPARKLY. My man said "it smells like an icy mountain" lol whatever that means, but he loved it. This is so gorgeous and refreshing. It's crisp, cool, spicy, sweet, blue, my favorite color. I picture the most gorgeous woman, silver hair, elven maybe? Shes walking out of a crystal bath in an ice castle, theres green leafy vines with colorful flowers wrapped around the ice beams. The lady is donned in a sheer icy blue fitted dress adorned with crystals, crystals in her hair and crystals adorning even her face. Fit for an ice goddess! Gotta love it! Unique? Yes. Groundbreaking? No. But still Gorgeous. 1 part Omnia Crystalline, 1 part Caron Aimez Moi, and 1 part Twilight Woods from bath & body, add some powdery diamond dust and water it down with ice cold water from the fountain of youth, and there you go.

'Bookishbeauty'says it best for me below... "I bought this because it literally jerked my head around to smell it again after I casually picked up the tester in a store. I had put it down and started to walk away, then thought "WAIT. What was that???" Needless to say, it came home with me. I have been wearing this BLV II two out of three days lately, but I still haven't reviewed it because, as much as I like it, I can't for the life of me figure out what I am smelling!! Haha. I look at the notes and think, "Ok, anise, yes...tonka, yes, citrus, yes...patchouli and vetiver, yes..." But somehow all of them together make this light-as-air, sweet but tart, smooth but sparkling, deep but fluffy scent that just doesn't make sense to my brain, but in a good way. It's so soft, yet I catch whiffs of it all day long somehow (it has crazy longevity for me!)--like it's a cloud around me but I can hardly smell it on my wrist. So weird, but wonderful is how I would have to describe this. Edit: Oh my, I just read what the perfumer said of this scent above: "A positive, encouraging scent which connects the opposites." Well, I'd say he absolutely succeeded!!"

Bvlgari has translated with this bottle and it's design the resolute craft and demonstration of the art of mimickry. Such a beautifully crafted stopper in chrome with imitation studs somewhat reminiscent of the leather goods and saddlery of yesteryear. Up market and precise. The Romans are such masters of fake and reproduction,, you have to hand it to them with this brands tradition in leather crafts translated to bottle design. The bottles that I own, I have two sizes in this fragrance both of which I paid bargain prices of 17. Aussie Dollars, from different stores, at different times. I own the 30 mill EDP and the 50 Mill EDP. I love this whilst it lasts. It is now over 100 Aussie dollars to purchase. So I was lucky to buy these last year for the prices I did. I know many of you don't like to compare fragrances but this is a little like Night Blooming Cereus' which I love as a plant. This is also a little like Sarah Jessica Parker's 'Dawn'. EDP. 'Born Wild' by Christian Audigier also comes to mind. Love the Lilacy violet thing going on with this fragrance. I feel like I have a little Bvlagari luxury when I spritz this Cheers T.

I never really cared for blue fragrances, but ran out of the former ones I experimented with, and most of them are difficult to get, thus I sampled Blv II on my wrist, and found it lovely. It wasn't expensive either, at least in the shop I bought it in. After I brought it home, I found out from various websites that people find it similar to Lolita Lempicka EDP, one of my all-time favourites. I sprayed Blv II on one arm, and LL on the other, and found the similarity astonishing. It's probably mainly the violet, the licorice and the anise, which they both have in common. Then later LL evolves to be richer, bolder, darker, more complex, and more bohemian, developing a smoke-like effect due to tobacco flower, and a more direct sweetness coming from vanilla and praline. Blv II, on the other hand, becomes lighter, more airy, aquatic, maybe more floral too, but it stays powdery and sweet, just like some anise-flavoured hard candy. I'm happy I can combine the two, because this way Lolita can be worn in the summer too. You can easily use LL in the evening after a day of wearing Blv II, they will blend in a beautiful way. LOVE!

I wear this one since high school, smelled it for the first time at the airport in Poland and fell in love. Now, my life is completely different, I went through so much, but I still love that BLV II power. I own many perfumes, all of them are carefully chosen and have their own story, but none of them beats this one. Can't believe I found my signature smell already back in high school (and I am the kind of person who always needs change). It is masculine, for sure. I find that woody/oriental feeling very sexy, but I love that it is kind of hidden behind clean feminine violet scent that is very strong at the beginning. I use it for so long that I can recognise different scents that are usually related to my mood or cycle. But there isn't a thing in BLV II that wouldn't represent me or get me in better mood. I think it is very special, definitely not for everyone. I appreciate that. I also noted that women usually don't like it or don't even smell it, but men often mention it as very special and sexy smell. When I figured out that my boyfriend also wears Bvlgari Blv for men, I knew we're meant to be :D

I'll admit, this scent has surprised me. The first few times I wore it I thought it was done after two hours. I have recently discovered this fragrance's "second wind." The opening is almost sugar sweet. It feels like it's the mandarin; but the citrus is near nonexistent. Just the sugar, a fresh sugar, is here; luckily it's just a few moments, otherwise it would cloy. Cool and crisp, the florals are powdery. Iris and violet play together with a bit of the licorice keeping it cool. Throughout this I get wafts of an almost fecund green earthiness. I can't pinpoint where it's coming from; perhaps an interplay of patchouli/vetiver? It's a bit of lovely discord to all that soft powder, actually. And then it all settles to a pretty skin scent. And I used to believe that here it died. Except, goodness gracious, 4 hours in, the violet wakes up again. All on its own. It's beautiful, projecting a new soft cloud. This is reminiscent of the Eau de Gaga 001 violet, but without the twingey buzz of Gaga's leather. I like it better here. And it's lasting.

Wow, 160$ on ebay for the 25ml... I paid 20$ at shoppers. Wish I had have bought 2 bottles, because I may never find this at that price again and I adore this. Rarely wear it because I know the value, but damn I so enjoy it when I do. It's a nice treat. Like a nibble of some high quality chocolate that is amazing for that short moment, but never lasts long enough. That's not saying this smells like chocolate, there's nothing chocolate about it.. this is fresh, clean, woody, bamboo-y, earthy, ambery, slightly aquatic, a tiny bit floral, soft, powdery, but also sophisticated. It's gentle and smart, if that makes sense lol Safe blind buy, if you don't like it, your best friend or an Auntie will love it. Someone who enjoys perfumes but nothing too harsh. It's not aggressive or coy. It's respectful and soft spoken. Could be unisex for sure. Ugh, I love it. Spray extra to make it last, layer it with itself lol I spray the BLVGARI edp and edt then 5-10 mins later, another spray of each. BOOM. Lasts longer. Yum.

To me this is a fresh, beautiful, sophisticated violet. I love violet but so often they are far too candied- sort of like artificial cherry flavoring. :) There is a story that Cleopatra wore violet because you can only smell it so long before the scent receptors for it are filled up- then like magic, another wave hits as the receptors are freed up and you can once again smell the violets. Bvlgari BVL II is almost the perfect violet for me. There are a cacophony of notes listed but for me what comes through is the mandarin orange, and the violet that even as a top note continues to reappear. The Iris and Vetiver burst through and I only get a hint of the patchouli, just enough to complement the other notes. There is that violet again now, softer, as the cent deepens into a more oriental flavor with the sweetness of amber mixed with tonka beans, a hint of musk. The drydown on me is sweet but fresh, not cloying and it feels very elegant without being overwhelming. One of my favorites I have to say.

This is my favorite perfume of all time (I am sucker for Bvulgari perfumes. The ones I absolutely love are Rose Essentielle, Omnia Crystalline and Jasmin Noir - which is still on my wish list, but I hope not for long). BLV it is soft (like sunrise in the morning), warm, subtle, floral and idk how to say it, but if it was a person it would be so huggable :D. My only con is that is not as long lasting as other perfumes (from Bvulgari) who can survive a war and there would still be a scent - but that is probablly because it is so soft. I could not compare it to another perfume, it's so unique. You have to try it on your own. In my country is no where to be found nor on the internet, so I treasure it and don't use it very often - a bit silly, but if you love some smell so much and it's nostalgic to you, you know what I am talking about. You just can not afford ever be without that smell again, you would miss it forever and spend searching it all your life. :D

Bvlgari EDP II incarnates everything I love in life! violets, star anise and licorice make it the most perfect opening note for my nose and my heart. This scent is well rounded and very elegant, no so much "light" or subtle as dignified and most unique. For the first half hour there ́s a decent projection, afterwards the middle notes are not much noticeable to me, and it fades abruptly. Sadly the longevity is rather short on skin, it lingers longer on clothing though. I cannot really single out the musk and amber in the base notes (the latter which I usually love), yet the tonka bean is definitely, yummyly there. I would recommend this scent to lovers of Lolita Lempicka, they share the same signature notes, the BLV II is slightly more sophisticated and -in my opinion- less "feminine", more neutral gender and cleaner.

What a lovely violet! I only wish that that this fragrance had the longevity and sillage that it deserves. I am an avid lover of powdery iris and sweet violet, and to have them together is heaven. The problem is that I only have heaven for 30 mins. The first 5 are sublime! So clean and sparkling. This is not a sexy fragrance, it is cool, a little stand-offish. The sort of fragrance to wear when you want to float a bit above the fray and discourage attention. That said, it is beautiful. Give me the topnotes of this fragrance at 5 times the power and I might make it my warm weather signature. As it stands now...a good four sprays an hour ago and I am at a loss now. It has dwindled to a very shy violet peeking out from a stand of birch. Acceptable, but nowhere near as outstanding as those first 5 minutes.

BLV II contains three of my favourite notes (anise, patchouli, licorice) so I unconditionally had to test it and I was not disappointed. The overture is very clear,airy yet watery and fresh as the light blue colour of the juice does predict. As it warms and melts with my skin it gets more intense, sweeter and more oriental, but still not heavy. Love the combination of anise and patchouli! I think it ́s kind of a feathery "fairy smell". It shares a similar charakter with Lolita Lempicka, but is more delicate and therefor suitable for daytime or office wear, while Lolita is the scent for romantic nights. BLV II is not a stupendous fragrance but still does not lack depth and exclusivness. Fortunatly on me it lasts forever (like all Bvlgaris do). Mysterious, fragile and sublime...I guess I ́m in love.

I love violet scents if they are not too powdery or old-fashioned like. The violet in this perfume is just for me, it's fresh, transparent, beautifully slight powdery. There are several kinds of spices at the list, nevertheless I believe they're quite a small amount, it never turns to be too spicy, actually by my nose they just add up an pleasant oriental feature to the central notes, which on the whole achieve a balanced harmony. The base is another lovable aspect, smells like fruity resin, soft and tender, very interesting that I smell the fruity notes at the very last stage, which is such a rare thing if compared with most fragrances. Overall a modern Oriental-Floral scent, definitely wearable, beautiful one for summers or late springs.

I received Bvlgari Blu II as a gift when it just came out. It's a very unique fragrance, and to me it's all about violets and anis. I like the opening and the middle better than the fruity drydown. This scent has a mysterious aura, and its kind of mellow and subtle. I don't think it's an oriental perfume, to me it's more of a chypre. It's not very feminine, at least not in a white flower bouquet kind of scent, it's more toned down and almost unisex. But it's still very enticing. If there should be a "warm" perfumes versus a "cold" perfumes category, Blu II is definitly a "cold" perfume!...the color is absolutly fitting the fragrance in this case. Not very long lasting, more of a skin scent after it settles.

This may be a new favorite! I have not found anything I really really like for a long time and this is wonderful. The only note that stands out to me really is anise, and that only faintly at first, the whole thing mostly blends together perfectly into a coherent whole of fresh creamy sweetness. There is also something cold about it, so this might be restricted to summer, but I absolutely love it. Lasts about five hours max. Has some sillage too which I wasn't expecting, thought it would remain very close only as quite a skinscent. The name of this confuses me. Why Eau de Parfum 11? What is the number one then? Bvl? Doesn't seem to have anything in common with it.

a few years ago i was in love with dior's eau svelte and i was devastated when it was discontinued. this is a new perfume to me...as i love blv notte so much i thought i would give it a try. well stone the crows! it is as close to eau svelte as it's possible to be (on me) and that is one amazing thing :) it's fresh more than anything and doesn't have any of the heaviness and sickly quality i usually associate with patchouli (which i really dislike). i can understand why cocomademoiselle called it aquatic. it's beautiful and like other bvlgari's on me, it lasts for hours. bvlgari comes up trumps again!

I can't understand why so many people seems to dislike this one? I really enjoy this perfume. It's a very nice, beutiful violet/auquatic perfume wich is great for summer. On me it actually has great sillage and lasting power, absolutley lasts all day, I use to recive many complimants when I'm wearing this perfume. Since I'm a great violet lover I really like the soft violet here. It's a cloud of beauty that follows you, not in your face at all. On me it's not very powdery. It's a beutiful, fresh violet blended with a hint of anis and some (sour?)mandarin. You should defintley give this one a try.

This perfume sings to me. It's beyond love! I have only recently begun to truly appreciate violet, and in BLV II the violet is sweet, cold, and spicy. Just gorgeous. The anise and licorice combination is sophisticated and addictive. BLV II is powdery throughout but more so in the drydown. As others have mentioned, the first hour is the best part of the fragrance. Very fresh and alive. The drydown is more comforting and quiet but still beautiful. Overall this perfume just works with my style and personality (my signature is Prada Infusion d'Iris) and I am sad it is discontinued...

Wow, this perfume made me realize just how much your skin chemistry can change! I was given this as a gift a few years ago and wore it out of obligation. It used to smell like powdery old lady on me and the licorice/anise would give me a headache. But I've been wearing it recently and it smells so different--the tonka and musk notes are finally coming through. Now I can't stop myself from constantly smelling and smiling! I agree with those saying this is an elegant scent, it definitely has that little something that gives you an air of sophistication.

Darn! I am so disappointed! I absolutely love this fragrance, but like others have stated it's gone in 60 seconds... even when sprayed on my clothes. The violet is wonderful and not too sweet, but I just wish it would stick around long enough for me to enjoy it. After some time, I get faint wafts of something resembling chai (tea) and I assume that's the anise and maybe the licorice. Subtle. Very subtle. Will have to explore ways to bring out the beauty of this fragrance. Perhaps a little Molecule 01...

I do like this. However. It's staying power is zilch. More like a cologne. Albeit some colognes have better longevity. This scent definitely needs layering. I sprayed some on last night whilst catching a rom com. Timing it's demise. Before classic Gene Tierney could kill herself, the scent had all but vanished. Sad as like many others who have reviewed this perfume here. I was typically excited by the idea and elegance and promise, expecting more. This needs a an extract to carry it through.

BLV Eau de Parfum II opens with a soft, yet tenacious ultraviolet, woody licorice note. Orange and musk seemingly add a gilded edge to this beauty that starts to exhale with soft powdered iris breath. The base notes of resin and woods are not heavy but rather complement and amplify the character of the top and heart notes. BLV II is somewhat ethereal and presents a cool, gentle alien-like magnetism. I find this quite extraordinary and utterly worthy of Jacques Cavallier.

Such a pretty fresh fragrance. Perfect for any occasion, especially in hot/humid weather. If you dislike the harsh woody/chemical induced, powder dry downs of Infusion d'iris (Prada) and The Beat (Burberry), or the other too sweet frags, then this is for you. This is similar but much better formulated. It remains fresh on the skin. Enjoy! This is sweet but not too sweet. I also agree with others that this is a summer version of Lolita Lempicka (another favorite of mine).

Bought this by mistake on eBay. Thoght I was buying Bvlgari Blv. It was a bargin and I was the only bidder. I thought well I'll try it and if I don't like it I can resell. Wow! I am so glad I won that auction. I usually like spicy perfume. But from first spray I get violets and hours after still violets. It is beautifull. Like the purple Parma violet sweets. It's not a room clearer. It stays close to you. Anew favourite. Summery and sweet. Perfect for every day.

hard to describe scent. smells light-hearted and fun. sillage is okay, but very long lasting. i used up a miniature this past summer. it's what i always used when i hung out with this boy i really liked, and he liked it too. though it was a summer relationship and we're both back to our lives now, whenever i smell this in the department store testers, it always brings back those good times...

The softest, creamiest oriental ever! I love this scent so much. There isn't any one particular note that stands out to me. It's one of those skin scents where all the notes blend seamlessly to create a beautiful concoction. BLV II is soft and light, lies close to the skin and is practically guaranteed not to offend anyone. The perfect daytime scent for any season.

In one word: EXQUISITE! In many words: light, elegant, discrete, subtle, exhilarating, sophisticated, invigorating, wonderful! Definitely a case of "love at first spritz" for me. It doesn't smell like anything else I ever tried. Makes me feel very unique and somewhat HAPPY when I wear it. Such an amazing one from Bvlgari. One of my signature scents from now on...

questo profumo è fantastico! L'ho sentito in giro a persone x strada e non sono mai riuscita a chiedere a nessuno che profumo fosse. Poi finalmente ho seguito una ragazza dentro ad un negozio e glie l'ho chiesto....sono andata subito in profumeria a comprarlo e da li non l'ho più mollato...Buonissimo!!!!!!!

This was highly recommended to me on a Caribbean vacation at a duty free shop... Bvlgari II is an amazing suede and soft, buttery leather smell that's perfect. The bvlgari perfume house is high quality, artistic perfume. The mini perfume travel collections are a fun introduction to this high quality line.

This was my signature in the early 2010s. I've still got a spare bottle, bought when I heard it was being discontinued. On me it's warm, deep, and powdery. Smells almost the purple of dusk, when you look up and the blue hour has started. Sophisticated. This is for someone with a bit of life experience.

I love it !!!! Would you believe there is a Vetiver mixed with Iris, Violet and Labdanum with hint of Liquorice ? This is a masterpiece from Jacques Cavallier. This fragrance is a heavenly fragrance...sweet, stylish and elegant. Pure class in a liquid form, locked in a gorgeous bottle.

I can add this one in my collection, I just love it. ...Perfume is that something that very personal. ...The same way we fell in love with our boyfriend or husband, which we never interested ...what other people thinks about him. :)

This is very unique i have it since 2011 and unf. It was discountinued... i wish they bring it back ...safe fresh fragrance yet chic and sophisticated...nothing smells like it ...bvlgari should bring this gem back

I got a sample from website, this perfume make my husband melt, he loved it soooooooooooooooo much , by the way very very very nice perfume very soft and elegant.

This really is a mature woman's scent. It's quite complex, professional, serious and filthy rich. Soft and yet long lasting. It's a love/hate scent

Beautiful,descret scent. Definitelly for warm weather, cause on cold days is practicly undetectable! Truly lovely musky base note.

WOW!! I just bought this, well worth the money!! Absoluately love it!! So fresh, and not overpowering!!

It's beautiful,subtle,breezy! I adore BLV!

This fragrance is absolutely a fragrance for spooks. Not a jump scare, overt, aggressive or notably dark ghost...no... This is restored/refurnished Victorian homes uptown spooky. This is early 20th century lace. Satiny sheer curtains. Doilies, claw-foot bathtubs...a woman sequestered upstairs with a faint countenance to deteriorate and wither in melancholy to her early death at 33 years old...haunted. (*Ahem*, it was laudanum the whole time but her family did nothing to help.) She's never left her room at the top of the stairs. Some say a dim lavender colored light can be seen through the window before dawn in early April mornings. It's beautiful, frail, waifish, vintage (not truly, just in essence) and depressing in a very specifically poised way. It smells like spring, but it lacks the liveliness and vigor necessary to even get out there and enjoy spring (indeed, this is silenced in anything aside from indoor or balmy air). I smell the violet and licorice/anise (something in between the two), and a watery, echo of lily-of-the-valley. It's quite blended, very soft, very, VERY classically feminine I truly don't get much in terms of resins...whatsoever. The light laundry musk might be modern if it wasn't underpinning so much antiquity. But it smooths this out nicely. I really enjoy this and lament it's discontinuation. Maybe you won't get the same story from this perfume at all, and that's totally fine, but to me I have some pretty vivid associations.

It's an inoffensive although lovely perfume, airy and slightly watery, very cozy, very safe unless of course one hates any one of the notes. Wouldn't have bothered to write a review of it if it weren't for the fact that today I found a sample spray hidden and forgotten for who knows how long (judging from the other samples it was with I'd say a good ten years) inside an unused wardrobe, so likely very well preserved. I spritzed it and couldn't stop thinking it smells exactly like a deodorant/body spray I had and used to love when I was a preteen in the mid-late 90's, Impulse Zen, or at least the memory I have of it. The notes listed for the body spray aren't useful to solve the mystery but the overall similarity was, to me or my memory of it, uncanny. Probably would eventually buy a bottle for nostalgia's sake alone.

I found this so safe and conservative when I first smelled it, I thought "Oh I should just use this bottle for my office job and finish it up". So I did and now I find myself missing it. It shares some notes with Lolita Lempicka, which is a perennial favorite of mine. But although they are both powdery violet and licorice, Blu II is more transparent, simpler. Where Lolita Lempicka curls around you and wraps you in her magical forest spell, Blu II does no obvious witchcraft. Instead it greets you in a friendly pleasant way and then sits quietly on the skin. Blu II is like a romantic watercolor portrait of a snowy forest scene. If Lolita Lempicka is a fairytale dream you had, then Blu II is the faded memory of your dream as you go through the next morning. And I need it again, because it did bewitch me in some way.

I got a free sample of this in my order of Bvlgari jasmine noir L'essence samples. This fragrance smells like Bvlgari eau the blue and Lolita Lempicka Mon premier had a baby. There is the fresh green of new spring violets juxtaposed with spicy star anise and fluffy white musk and cotton flowers. This fragrance would work well as a spring perfume and a transition fragrance from summer to fall as well. I don't know why Bvlgari fragrances don't get more love. I really like everything I try from this house, well most of it anyway. They create really unique but wearable fragrances that are noticeable but not overwhelming. If you like green fresh violets with a touch of soft spice seek out a bottle on the grey market. Unisex.

I like BLV II, it's a very nice violet fragrance, but not what I was expecting. Based on the description it was supposed to smell powdery, spicy but on me it smells violets. Only violets. The fragrance is very pleasant, it's fresh, light, airy... But definitely not powdery. It was a blind buy and I was expecting to smell licorice and star anice notes, but there are none, what a pity! It's a "close to skin" fragrance. The staying power is not that great eather, about 3 hours on my clothes, even less on the skin. I acctually like a lot BLV II and planing to wear it this summer, but it's very different from what I was expecting...

As the previous reviewer put it, it does start off sweet- like hard candy. A bit too sweet, really, for me, at first- but not so overpowering as to put me off. It dries down very prettily- after the sweet melts off, it is fresh and a bit marine. I suppose you'd call it powdery but it has a bit of a dense complexity to it that is very good and stays interesting enough to remain engaging. Someone lower down called it creamy and that is accurate. Easy daytime scent. Not extremely memorable, but better than nice and with enough complexity for me to buy for those days when I'm in the mood for being soft and clear and joyful.

I already had a mini of Blv II that I'd smelled from the bottle, but just got a (partial) full bottle today. I liked it from the mini, but it smells even better sprayed on. Nothing earth-shattering, but I find it to be such a lovely, feminine scent that is quite inoffensive and makes a delicate daytime fragrance that is very office-friendly. I recently realized that I quite like the smell of violet, and a slight edge of wood and spice from the licorice and star anise keep it from being excessively candied in this perfume. Neither is this overly powdery to my nose. A pretty choice for when you want something subtle.

This is Lolita Lempicka Lite. A friend gifted me a small bottle of BLU II and I thought it was all right, but a bit too light. I agree with the reviewer who likened it to sitting under a dryer vent and that warm musky soapy floral smell. I decided to wear this my first day of work in a corporate office. It seemed classy yet safe. The other day I sniffed the empty bottle and it reminded me of those early days at a job I have come to love. I don't know if I will purchase a bottle of this but it is a soft anise violet if you're looking for something like Lolita Lempicka but more subtle.

Elegant & Classy. Like a soft whisper this one surrounds me. Mild and soft beautiful flowers. perfect for work or every-day-scent. I would like this one to be a bit stronger. Shortlived on my skin, about 11⁄2 hour. Elegant och klassisk. Omger mig som en mjuk viskning. Mild men ändå där. En "smygardoft" - nästa person får stå nära för att känna den. Härligt mjuk blomdoft, perfekt för kontoret eller som varje-dag-doft. Dock skulle jag önska att denna var starkare. Kortlivat på min hud, ca 11⁄2 timme.

Well, this one was quite a disappointment to me. I can't smell any of the notes in it, it's very subtle, almost like I'm not using any perfume at all, like I'd just have a shower with a good shampoo witch smells strong enough to last a little bit after. Probably it did not goes with my body chemistry, it doesn't make the necessary sparkle to show all the good smells that this perfume has to offer. So different from the others fragrances from Bulgari that I have. Snif....

This is a very pretty and feminine violet fragrance, ideal for spring. It is not a supercharged violet (as in, for instance, Guerlain Insolence) but a very soft, fresh, almost aquatic one. Although the scent itself is not in-your-face strong and memorable, it lasts about 5 hours on my skin and doesn't change much throughout its development. Highly recommended to those who need a reasonably priced, safe, pleasant, feminine, office-friendly, slightly aquatic floral scent.

I expected nothing great or at least nothing that I'd like. Funny thing, that I actually liked it. It opened a bit like ripe velvety... apples? berries? I couldn't really separate notes but I remembered their Pour Femme. Very alike. Further it changes. If at top phase I could toss this perfume under 'aquatic' label then now I'd dragged it under oriental label. It's spicy a bit and very unexpected. All is there - vetiver, licorice, anise, tonka. Nice perfume :D
