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.

Feeling guilty! I purchased as a father’s day gift for my husband knowing he wouldn’t love it. Per a reviewer they said it was a dupe for BVL (for women). I purchased BVL in Paris but it was discontinued. Sad for me. Luckily, I found BVL por homme. Since its a toilette it is not as powerful as the parfum but it is the same as I remember. At the opening its a bright ginger bergamot but it settles down to a warm powdery tabacco-y woody scent. My husband wore it tonight to an outdoor event. I really did want him to like it but it almost completely disappeared before we left the house (4 pumps) It did not smell the same as i remembered. Maybe it wasn’t the same frag. When we got home I sprayed 2 half pumps. Yay!! Hello my old friend!!! There it was the scent I remembered and never forgot. I let my husband take a whiff after it settled on my skin and he agreed it was better on me!! My plan worked!! I found my old friend BVL in the mens department! Sooo happy to our community member review becuz it led me to a scent I had missed so much!!

I bought this fragrance based on the fact that Alberto Morillas was the perfumer behind it. I was not disappointed. I enjoy smelling this fragrance. It is a very "soft" and smooth scent that is truly addicting. The smell is linear for the most part, but it is very well-blended. Every time I smell this cologne the word "smooth" comes to mind. Also, even though the note is not listed on there, to me this cologne has a "lemony" vibe to it. However, when I pay attention to the scent I can smell the ginger and cardamom in it as these are the two notes that stand out the most. To me, this cologne seems to fit more of a "khakis and button-up shirt" look and I tend to dress more casual or athletic so it is safe to say that I have not had the chance to wear this out in public. However, I will be giving it a go soon to see how it works for me. As of right now, I would give this cologne the following ratings: Scent: 4.0/5 Sillage: 3.0/5 Longevity: 3.5/5 Value: 4.0/5 Overall: 3.6/5

Clean, fresh, and mature spicy and woody fragrance. Probably won't interest most in their teens/early 20s. Nothing like the current blue frags saturating the market (bleu de chanel, sauvage, dylan blue etc.). This one is understated and balanced. Definitely kinda soapy, didn't love it at first due to this but it has grown on me and is now one of my favourites. It smells very mature and sophisticated, but without the ambery heaviness that makes you think "old man smell". Its fresh and office friendly but also an easy wear for a date or night out on a warm summer night. This is easy signature scent material. Lasts most of the day on skin and a long time on clothes. Intimate - moderate projection. One of the notes in the pros column sums it up perfectly - "masculine and relaxing clean scent". Apparently discontinued but there's still heaps of bottles floating around on grey market and at discounters. Tempted to get myself a backup.

This is my 2nd signature scent. The fresh ginger, very very fresh, on the first. 5 minute after the powderry will come through mix with fresh ginger and a pepper scent. I promise I am very surprise when the base is coming. It's look like will be disapear as same as the sport scents but it will come to your noses the WHOLE day !!! especially if you do activities til the sweat come out. Yes, the whole day cause I apply 5 aprays in the morning 6 a.m. and when 11 p.m. in the pub when i still dancing and flirting girls. She ask me : Which perfume did you wear ? I said : BLV, Why ? She : I will buy this for my boyfriend !!! Me : T_T !! So, this scent will make you feel warm in the cold and make you feel fresh in the hot. Best longetivity, sexy, sensual, powderry, unique. I f*kcing looooove this. A Master from Bvlgari and Morillas.

This is a delicious scent! BLV Pour Homme opens with a burst of ginger and fresh cardamom notes. Then, the tobacco appears and says: "I'm here to make you elegant, without disturbing". And to close the door with a golden key, we have a delicious and balanced mix of sandalwood with vetiver, in the base. The result is a fresh fragrance, which remains linear on the skin, changing almost nothing as it evolves. The final sensation is elegant, comfortable and with a hint of the "powdery" of baby colognes. The durability is excellent on my skin, with medium projection, which I attribute as a characteristic of the perfumes of the brand, which value for elegance. BLV Pour Homme is great for use on hotter days, including at work.

I've had this one for awhile now and I never gave it a fair shake. It grew on me. Especially being so hot, not having to wear something aquatic or citrus is a bonus. It opens a bit soapy and sharp like a lot of soapy scents do. However, about 20 minutes in the cardamom and sandalwood really come out. I never really lose the cardamom but the flowery aspects of the composition start to show themselves after a few hours. It remains more fresh than floral though. I got about 7-8 hours out of it with moderate sillage. For the price tag, I would consider that a good buy. This one could be used for all occasions and by most age groups, possibly even women. It's quite inoffensive and pleasant to the nose.

Bvlgari BLV has been my signature scent for quite some time. I adore this fragrance. To me it is the quintessential clean fragrance. Its fresh, soapy, a tad sweet, and powdery. If you're looking for an everyday signature scent, look no further. Woman find this scent appealing, no question. If you're a young lad in school, this is the perfect choice. You will not offend anyone and MOST importantly, will not smell like a "try hard". This is my signature and will continue to be until I find another fragrance this pleasing. Performance could be better but that's a minor gripe. This one will always be in my top 3 of all time. Performance and longevity are moderate. Sillage is moderate.

Nothing beats a man that smells fresh, powdery and clean! And this one ticks all the boxes. I repeat, it won't make you smell macho, or a playa, or smooth or whatever adjectives millennials can think of describing a playboy or whatnot. Hahah.. No booboo, stay clear from this one. However, if you are the kind of man who's confident of your sexuality and masculinity even without wearing a suit, a Rolex and a Tom Ford por Homme perfumes, this is the perfume you need. Clean, fresh, powdery, inoffensive. Nope, SAFE is not the word. Safe is equals to boring! This is Clean, Fresh and Powdery. I ran out of adjectives meself but then again, those 3 are enough/ Go and be real man. :)

Masterpiece. Had it first when I was 18, my mom bought it as a surprise to me. I wore it to the club everyone went to every weekend. I have great memories connected to that smell. Boozy nights, dancing to sexyback, love is gone, and give it to me, first kisses, first drinking nights, love and heartbreaks, achievements and disappointments, and still, I believe it is one fragrance that takes it all. Today I’m married, kids, working all day and all night, having adult life, and still I’m taking that smell with me for another new memories. It might be the memories, but I think this is the best perfume ever created for man. Love you people, it was nice to share that with you.

I had this many moons ago, and I bought a full bottle just for the nostalgia, and also because I found a great deal online. VERDICT: Surprisingly, the scent is pretty much the same, especially the mid/base notes. The top note though, I remember vividly, made me a little sneezy back then as it was too strong. I could have sworn there's peppercorn in it. But my new bottle does not irritate my nose as much on the initial spray. So I'm not sure if there's been a reformulation?! If so, it's a pleasant one for sure — same everything minus the nose irritation. Unfortunately, my partner did not approve of this, and thought it smelled like an old man (where?! Lol). Sold it.

It was the first one I ever owned, my aunt gave it to me as a gift, so it’s pretty nostalgic for me. The scent works perfectly in the hot and humid weather here in the Philippines. It’s light and refreshing, which makes it great for our tropical climate. I’ve found it suits just about any occasion, whether you’re heading to a casual event or just playing badminton or golf. There’s a subtle spiciness to it that feels warm but not overpowering, and it somehow balances a clean, crisp vibe with something a little deeper. It’s one of those fragrances that just fits, especially for someone who spends a lot of time in the heat.

Sometimes, for deep sleep, I cook a tea, or kind of. Milk, ginger pieces after removing skin, a cinnamon stick, clove and a drop of vanilla. Boil it and stir it, filter it, and drink it and.....have a nice and deep sleep. I wonder what Alberto Morillas will do with ESE ingredients on a cologne. My point is, I am very used to ginger. And BLV....is soft spicy ginger done perfectly. Just like my tea, but not that aromatic. After an hour, it becomes soapy, but soft, and at the end, velvety tobacco flower. Clean, fresh, soapy.....and very, very elegant. Lasts all day on me. Perfect scent, nothing else to say.

The opening is gingery cardamom. It settles to a powdery sterile smell. The "baby wipe" smell is made possible by that tobacco blossom note. I was first not into it. But wearing this, it becomes more than just baby wipes. You'll notice the spices and powder, and you'll smell so effortlessly clean. Downside is there is no sexiness to this. Too expensive for what it offers. If you're looking for a powdery clean vibe, I'd still point to you towards Burberry Touch. Longevity is great for a powdery clean fragrance, lasting about 8 hrs. Projection is on the poor side, only about a forearm's length.

I'm going back to year 2004, I turned 20, Croatia, I'm sitting at the bar, an older girl comes up next to me, orders a drink and says: "what smells so good in here"? You? She asks me! I answer: "I don't know, I guess" 😅... She sniffed the back of my neck and bit my ear! I don't want to say the rest of the story, let's leave that to the imagination 😄. I had a wild experience with this perfume. The truth is that today's perfumes don't have that kind of "juice" like before, that density and quality of perfume. Again, everything in the brain remains. This is really good perfume.

This one is my husband's signature, he wore it when we first met and I was blown away by its uniqueness and softness. This perfume is like drinking a very good, artisan even gin and tonic. First it is juniper and juniper only, a little bitter, in a pleasant way. Then I swear this fragrance turns all citrusy even though the citrus is not listed. And finally i settles into a sweet and very soft base, a little powdery or soapy, so unusual. It has a very good longevity, I love smelling it on him in the evening when he comes home from work.
