BLV Pour Homme

Ah it's summer and you've got nose fatigue or a real lack of inspiration from all your citrus based fragrances. What do you do? Well, if the zing of ginger is something that you find refreshing then say no more Bvlgari BLV has you covered! BLV has become one of my all time favorite summer fragrances. BLV is a real pleasure to wear and congers up memories of lounging pool side and staring straight at a clear blue sky. The opening of BLV is pure gingery powder with a touch of cardamom and a very sweet tobacco blossom. BLV besides having a fizzy ginger element, also has this really faint juniper note that I feel forms the foil to the ginger in this scent, creating a near perfect balance between the ginger and powdery essence of this scent. The teakwood and sandalwood come in to give the scent a warm, rich woody base. BLV as a whole is a beauty of a warm weather scent, with its' light florals, woods and fresh, spicy ginger. The notes are well separated and are not at all cloying. BLV feels clean powdery and fresh and is really something different to wear on a sunny, warm day. BLV can be worn by the twenty year old crowd all the way to the late thirties crowd. This fragrance has longevity so it works well during the day and would work well in the office. BLV as I have stated is a warmer weather fragrance and works great in spring and summer. Bvlgari BLV is another reasonably priced scent from a real quality house, so for me it is full bottle worthy. BLV is the scent you wear when you were just swimming and tanning by the pool and you still want to relive that relaxing moment on your skin and in your nose. Give BLV a few sprays when you just swam a few lengths, tanned, showered off the Banana Boat and are ready to relax on your porch or balcony for the rest of the day before meeting up with friends for a bbq.

BVLGARI is really proving themselves to not only have great taste in fragrance development...but what impresses me SO much with their products is the extreme range they've developed. So far...I've purchased... Agva Pour Homme Agva Divina Bvlgari Man Bvlgari Man Extreme Omnia Indian Garnet And BLV Pour Home just arrived in the mail today. I really am blown away by how amazing...but different they all are. Each and every one of them. This fragrance...smells soapy...but like EXPENSIVE...smooth...masculine...almost a relaxing type of clean. I could see someone get a whiff of this by someone walking by them and just closing their eyes, and breathing in deeply. It's very smooth and warm. I never smelled a "warm" soapy scent before. But this is it! And it's beautifully done! As I've stated in other reviews...even among my fragrances that I absolutely love...I can still easily admit when one of my most loved fragrances are absolutely NOT a good candidate for a blind buy. This is not one of those...this one is among the safest of the safe to blind buy! I cannot imagine ANYONE not at least giving this fragrance a "like" and it is an easy love for me. And that bottle!!! If it's even possible...it's actually more gorgeous in person than it is in the above picture. That blue!!! Really really well done! Scent Itself - 9/10 Longevity - 5 hours Projection - Moderate. About 2-3 feet away but that's perfect for this one. Some fragrances aren't meant to scream out and fill the room. Overall Score - 9/10 Keep em coming Bvlgari. I really am so impressed as a whole with this company. Two thumbs up!

My true love, Bvlgari Blv. It has garnered me more compliments than the rest of my fragrances put together, whether from friends, colleagues or lovers. I can think of no finer recommendation than that. I love it and how it smells and how it makes me feel. It is Alberto Morillas's finest moment. What can I say that is a little more practical? Well, I find that it lasts for more than 12 hours on me and that it works in any kind of weather. The projection is strong but subtle. There is always a wonderful gentle waft of Blv in the shower the following morning (I spray a little in my hair) as the metaphorical magic carpet flies away at the break of a new day. The main note is ginger but not in a way that you would expect. Blv settles into a lovely mix of green notes within a lovely warm, woody base and a little galanga and jasmine mixing with the ginger. This one is just pure class. Subtle, warm and elegant, multilayered and so damned good! 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. Alas, I was lulled into a false sense of security by the presence of Blv Pour Homme on the Bvlgari website. Sadly, a phonecall to the Sloane Street HQ in London revealed that Blv has been discontinued. If anyone has any of it left, I am always interested in taking it off your hands! EDIT: I had huge longevity from the original bottles with the grey top and cloudy glass. The bottles with clear glass and the silver top don't last as long or project as far but they still smell the same.

Ok, I was looking for fragrance for Weekend. Something just clean, basic and have mild spice undertone. My 1st fragrance was from house of Bvlgari so I wanna venture house of Bvlgari again, so I try. This fit the bill, It's nothing extravaganza. Open sweet cardamom with powderiness from Sandalwood. It's set stage for the heart which is fantastic. battle between hot & cold // Ginger vs Galangal while Juniper adding fizziness work more like judge to balance the battle. The heart is fantastic this stage last only 3 hours. Before it crush into the skin scent which is clean softspicy powder. with mild tobacco in background. This linger very long around 7+ However it project mildly and more close to skin. You can still sense it but it is on softer side. You could wear this everywhere, everyday if you like spicy fragrance. It's more on the clean side and will not offended anyone. 7/10 - good for the weekend. ----- I would like label this as fragrance unplugged mood. You feeling wanna rest, you go for a walk. Unwind the mood. It's really good for that. Is this 2020's blue, no. There is no connected to amboxan, sweet, fruity blue. This is blue of post shower, blue that's you smell clean. blue likes 4711. P.s. My batch is fairly new (03/2022) and I buy from one official discounter distributor around USD 60 I live in Asia and I heard this is still available SEA/Japan.

Bought a backup bottle when i got it on a great offer. Was very excited but obviously the recent versions are totally reformulated....Just like many below have rightly noticed it. (at first I blamed the seller thinking its a fake. but later realized that it was indeed a genuine one.) Totally agree with @LaBagueette below, word for word and many others below who pointed out the loss of the original ginger/sandalwood core DNA. The Bvlgari BLV PH (at least until 2015 or so) was an absolute beauty !! Very unique. I should also join others in saying the original formulation of BLV was one of the best fragrances from Alberto Morillas. Now I can't detect any ginger in it. Very less of sandalwood too, both of which were the very foundation of the original. Newer versions are very powdery and extremely similar to the "Burberry Touch" which i dislike due to its "Nycil" prickly heat powder smell. And now its also similar to the female version- Bvlgari BLV pour femme (the very first BLV which also I own). Sadly BLV PH has totally lost its true identity and its more unisex or rather leaning to feminine now.
