Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Clear, direct, and the best I’ve tried. Not for everyday wear, but perfect for celebrations and formal events. A love letter to perfumery, thank you Bulgari.
A masterpiece if you like patchouli: it’s on another level. It doesn’t overwhelm, but lasts until the next day like a second skin. Ideal for dates or nights out, not for casual days. Ridiculously good performance and maximally seductive.
Another giant in the La Gemme line. The patchouli here is creamy, delicious, and not acidic at all, far superior to other blends. Opens citrusy and evolves with a subtle incense and jasmine touch. Lasts over 10 hours. Perfect for garden cocktails, romantic dinners, or elegant outdoor events. Seductive, with presence and poise, just as Bulgari defines with that Sanskrit name.
I bought it excitedly for the notes and reviews, but honestly, it just doesn’t work for me. It has a very Chanel vibe, that citrus sweetness reminiscent of Bleu. I expected more incense, but the smoky note is barely noticeable, almost imaginary. The longevity and sillage are good, but in my opinion, it’s not worth it: for half the price, you can get a Bleu or Allure that perform equally well and give that sweet office touch.
