BLV Notte Pour Homme

Bvlgari Blv Notte Writing about this fragrance is as much pleasure as wearing it. Bvlgari Blv Notte and Eau de Cartier Pour Homme are the first memories of an adult male fragrance that I have in my memory. Of course, Bvlgari Blv Notte was the fragrance my dad wore. Perhaps for that reason, I am a fan of both houses, with the common tea and pepper base of the Italian Bvlgari being the one that is carved in my olfactory memory as a simile of well-being, elegance, freshness, and distinction. He wore it to work in a suit and tie. He used it on Sundays when we went out to lunch. He wore it when we went on a trip to the beach, he wore it after bathing. It was his signature. What does it smell like? The smell of this fragrance made me happy and it still does. So much so, that it was the first fragrance that I sniffed to discover its notes. I didn't know Fragantica at that time, but I knew that the scent I was in front of was exquisite, refined, with presence, but not aggressive. Different. It was Bvlgari Blv Notte. No, it wasn't Drakkar Noir, it wasn't Halston, it wasn't Azzaro, it wasn't Polo green, much less Quorum. It was something different, something better, superior. It was Bvlgari Blv Notte. Unlike the aforementioned, its intention is beyond saturating your nose with those barbershop scents that have been replicated ad nauseam in shaving foams, bath gels, and soaps. Today, these fragrances only suit older gentlemen. Although many would argue otherwise. Blv Notte is a far cry from all that. Yes, it smells "clean", it is powdery, but the woods in the background, pepper, cardamom, and anise certainly give it a stimulating spicy spiciness. The spicy part of this fragrance it's like an aesthetically well-placed stain on a blank canvas (the powdery). It then becomes creamy with chocolate and tobacco flower notes. During the evolution, all the notes walk hand in hand. This generates a sensation that can even evoke notes of distilled beverages. The notes of Blv Notte penetrate any nose without screaming. This fragrance has just enough presence and gentility of a very well accomplished fragrance. It has no citrus, nor does it need it. The combination of spice and wood wrapped by the sweet creaminess of tobacco, as well as the powdery of lavender is enough to distinguish us on an outing, business meeting, date, or as a fragrance of personal delight. So what does it smell like? Bvlgari Blv Notte is a fragrance that smells like a gentleman. Morillas often errs on the side of simplicity with some creations. However, I'm sure this has to be one of his favorite creations, I could bet he wore it on a daily basis! Be it a gentleman in his 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s. It is a timeless scent that is put at the service of the wearer's attitude and disposition. It is upfront, polite, clean, spicy when it should be, and wrapped in an aura of transparent purity that reminds us of those of a child. It is not a complex fragrance, it does not evolve to the frontiers of the unknown, but it is undoubtedly special. It is best worn in formal, semi-formal contexts, for cocktails, cold evenings, air-conditioned environments. I have worn this fragrance with t-shirt and blue jeans in extremely hot climates and although it behaves well, its performance suffers. Even though I was a kid the first time I smelled it, I never felt this Bvlgari as an "old person" fragrance. As a teenager, neither. Yesterday I stopped by a perfumery to sniff any number of Tonka bean-filled coats and stumbled upon this gem. Today I come to defend its legacy. I hope this review is helpful as I understand Notte is discontinued.

It's time for an accurate review. I bought this cologne for my hubby. I don't care about the notes. I care about the overall final fragrence which in BLV Notte's case I really love. It is a night time fragrence or you can call it a date night fragrence. 2 sprays on him and I am ready to melt in his arms :p Every cologne or perfume has a certain vibe to it. This has an incredibly sexy and magnetic vibe to it. I've seen other women giving my husband compliments in front of me and one of them even made me write the name of this cologne on a seperate piece of paper. But as always not every cologne is for everyone. I know this one is for my husband.. it suits him ..I like it too ..:) edited again on 6th oct,2012 --- my husband has received another bottle of this from me... I was in USA for vacation and he'd called me to get this one fo rhim again ..It is his NIGHT TIME scent...

I was finally able to get hold of this discontinued gem (unopened 50ml). It was sitting alone in the corner of a shelf full of other perfumes, so I guess it was waiting for me. Haha. To my nose, this is the lovechild of Bvlgari Man and Lindt Dark Chocolate. Found the initial spray quite similar to BLVPH then slowly moves in a darker and richer fragrance experience which I can only describe as sex in a bottle.♥️ perfect for dates and intimate moments. Got lots of compliments, especially with the ladies. Works perfectly well with my skin chemistry, though people around me can smell it more than I am Despite the sillage, the scent is very comforting and unobtrusive (one lady officemate asked if she can hug me even for a while. LoL). 😂 Hope they bring this back so I can hoard. LoL.😂 A bit expensive but for me, it is worth the price. 👍

I really enjoy wearing this fragrance. After reading these reviews, I thought it would just smell like bvlgari blv with maybe some gourmand sweetness added to it. I was wrong. It has similarities with blv, but not that pungent ginger/fresh smell and I don't even think it's very sweet. It's spicy and subtle, with powdery/incensy vibes to it. Very elegant and classy imo. I think that blv for the day and blv notte for the night could be a wise choice for anyone's signature scents. They are both ideally spring/summer fragrances but could easily be worn in any season. The longevity on it is good, very good on clothes. The projection is the same. I would definitely recommend it. 4 sprays tops of this stuff because it can be very cloying.

For me this scent will always have a place within my heart. I do not know why but it always invokes nostalgia of when I was young and I saw a train for the first time at a train station. This seems bizarre as this scent was released 15 years later than that event in time. There may have been someone with a similar scent, or just that I associate this smell with a train station (but in a good way). Nevertheless, BLV Notte Pour Homme is a darker, more superior version of the original, apart from the longevity and sillage are a bit lacking. It is versatile and smooth. 7/10 but only for the disappointing sillage.

Is it discontinued? I see the prices at over 50 bucks for the 1.7 oz bottle. This and BPH have been staples in my collection for the past 6 or 7 years. Their is really no other scent to compare it to as I have never tried BLV. The chocolate is balanced well in which it is not cloying and overdone. While being a chocolate scent the lavender adds a freshness to it. The tobacco is light as well as the cedar to add some depth. I think it can be worn year round and enjoyable to ladies as well. Very long lasting scent with high silage. Remarkable stuff here from a respected perfumer and a great looking bottle!

This is my favorite scent EVER! All my friends say they LOVE this scent on me. I would say even if it is for the night, it works for the day. It is very settle and androgynous ! <3 But the weird thing is, I got this scent the first time as a sample bottle, and it smelled beautiful, but the next time I bought the actual thing, for some reason the scent was not strong, it was almost gone! I don't know what this reason is, maybe because I kept the sample one longer then sprayed it later on? Idk :( But I will get another one sometime soon and hopefully it smells like the first one I got @_@

Superb. I bought a lot of bottles of this when it came out as a limited edition. I can't have been the only one because Bvlgari decided to make it a permanent one and it ran for a few years. Sadly it's been discontinued and is like gold dust. The mix of dark chocolate, tobacco, cedar and other notes just works beautifully. It's an elegant and sexy fragrance and very refined. It's a masterpiece. An unappreciated Morillas masterpiece.

DUPE FINALLY FOUND!! Jubilee Scents - BV211, it is incredibly similar, to the point I will no longer be searching ebay. So similar in-fact that I got instant nostalgia when spraying it. First spray to dry-down is absolutely spot on. This is a dupe for BLV not Notte however. I have never had any luck with dupes but this is absolutely it! I have been looking for about three years so wanted to share in case anyone is the same.

Definitely one of my favorites from the house of Bvlgari, followed by BLV, Eau Parfumée Au Thé Vert and Bvlgari Pour Homme. It's a sweet fragrance, very classy, not overpowering at all, very easy to like and very intimate. Everyone in the office loves it when I wear this. Highly recommendable if you like sweet soft fragrances.

I don't like to rate scents I don't own them. But, are notes of BLV Notte (in particular first ones) almost the same like CerrutiSi? IMHO, similarity is just overwhelming. P.S. Why do some people want to assess the smell after a few splash in a hurry in perfumery??!! What is worthy of such an opinion?

My bottle is ancient (it belonged to my father), and has definitely deteriorated and the top notes are gone—therefore what’s left smells incredibly similar to Chanel’s Coramandel. Musty, chocolatey wood with something citric highlighting it. Quite yummy. I wonder what new bottles smelt like.

Look at the notes, look at the bottle, you know immediately that you are face to face with something very very special. Now go and manage to smell it because sadly this is really hard to find today. You have found a treasure and it's yours now. Save it and please keep the secret :) 9/10

I've never smelt anything closer to the scent of moonlight... Bravo, Sr. Morillas! Vetiver. Why is it that I smell vetiver most-strongly and no-one else seems to? I'm either a lunatic or perceptive- and it's a fine, fine line between the two. Longevity: 70F 18-20 hours Sillage: 2-3'

I am not afraid to say that I love this scent. It is similar to the original and that's fine. I find this to be slightly smoother and not as " zingy" as the original. One of the few powdery dry downs that I like. If you like the original you will like this as well. Enjoy!

Notes / scent: 5 Longevity / sillage: 4.5 Overall / subjective feelings: 5 Description: Outstanding. Notes change several times during scent's life - woody, chocolate, sweet, but all equally fascinating. The scent could be just a bit long lasting.

This perfume smells like powder makeup. But in the right direction. Its projection and longevity are excellent. This is another of the great creations of Mr. Morillas. Each time I am most delighted with the scents of Bvlgari. Great job.

跟蓝茶相比,这款蓝茶男调的生姜味道非常淡,几乎闻不出来。给人一种很温和的感觉,秋冬季使用正合适。在这些香调中,最主要的是黑色巧克力和薰衣草的味道。留香7-8个小时。

One of the most strange and beautiful perfumes I've ever tested

Great, just great!!! Strong and heavy but awesome!!!
