BLV (for women)

Mellyhelly

Bulgari Blu is the only Bulgari's fragrance I care for. All the other ones seem crap to me, either wanna-be or cloying-woodsy, almost artificial.
The artificial edge is in BLU too, but the scent itself is entirely a different story. I got this as a gift from my parents a few years ago. They know I love scents, but they have crap tastes IMO... An enlighted SA pushed BLU to them, expensive for sure, but high quality! I was almost reluctant to wear it due to that fact that it was Bulgari, but I had to come to see that I love it. I think it's very feminine, young and knowing. The first minutes after sprying are not very pleasant, because they are ginger-sickening. This last for a few minutes then it fades to a beautiful enchanting floral, like something you would smell from flowers in a Greek terrace on a summer night. That blue colour is just perfect for the scent.
I would have said that it's very jasmine, but apparently no jasmine is there. Maybe the wisteria gives me that effect. The drydown is mostly vanillic, a littel bit on the artificial edge, but totally luscious and not foody at all. It smells like grown-up jasmine for young ladies who hold up elegance as their must. It's daring, but never vulgar. It's the night side of a sunny personality. Sparkling in the night like moon and stars on the surface of sea water.
I also like the squared bottle, which is unusual for me (fan of round shapes).

It is peppery, fresh scent accented with spicy notes. A blend of ginger and flowers makes this perfume very unique. Although it is not my cup of tea, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different and unique either for themselves or as a gift.

At first spray the scent is somewhat harsh reminding me of medicine and soap. Seconds later, once it soaks into skin BLV instantly transforms and the notes separate, unfold and deepen. A soothing and almost dark wisteria is first to make an appearance setting the overall mood of the fragrance to be fresh, clean and powdery.
Minutes after wearing, but only for a moment, the ginger and bergamot add a slightly unisex vibe of spicy and zingy-zest to the powdery floral's.
Into the dry-down the notes lighten up tremendously(if not too much,too soon) remaining fresh but not as powdery, just a clean smell with deep vanilla and traces of ginger still lingering around. The sandalwood adds that wonderful, much loved "woodsy Bvlgari feel". BLV has high quality and soothing deepness that caresses each layer with inviting warmth for each note. Perfect for most situations, very pleasant, comfy and non-offensive.

It is silk clothes - blue as sky and airy as clouds. In which hurry on an appointment, stepping on the same clouds. Sharp and at the same time tender bergamot at the beginning, then a honey black locust effloresces and something else may be wisteria. Yes, an locust is sweet, but not too much - general feeling rather however - to tender freshness. And a sharp enough ginger appears to the base, vanilla and musk. Tender, fresh and young...

this one is fresh and clean, but the ginger gives it a little kick. this is one that is subtle.
addition: now that i have been wearing this one all day, i have to say it is nicer than i initially believed. worth trying.

It's very strange, but I feel ginger only on a blotter, not at all on my skin (maybe a shaddow for 15 minutes). For me it's very creamy and tender. It's also a unique scent, couse if you don't know what to put on you can use it without thinking too long. It suits all kinds of clothes styles and different weather. The only thing that I find true for almost all BLVgary parfumes is that it sounds only from the skin. Never use it wearing high-neck sweaters IMO. Sits close to skin or as a light cloud over you:)

P. S. Witney Huston's and Sharon Stone's favourite parfume...

Bvlgari Blv is not a blue fragrance at all. Although the opening is very fresh, almost aquatic, in the next minute I smell suddenly the freshly cutted ginger, which lasts about twenty minutes and then gets more deep and spicy with the ginger in the background. The drydown is green in a way. Unfortunately the lasting power is not very good. It isn't that type of fragrance what I would wear, but I find it very nice and interesting.

Perfumaniac

A surprising fragrance characterized by a sophisticated bouqet which embodies unexpected olfactive contrast. A tribute to contemporay women.
It opens with a refreshing burst of ginger and finishes with the full, sensual scents of vanilla, wisteria, and sandalwood. Like the woman who wears it, BLV is a force, a spirit, an unforgettable experience.

Powdery, with a strange sweetness, yet slightly masculine... This is the only female Bvlgari I like so far.It is also the only one that lasts on my skin. Wonderful for summer evenings...

LuckysGirl

This is very light and fresh on my skin. Unfortunately, just like Bvlgari Black, it does not have lasting power on me. It fades away far too soon. It's too bad too. I really like this fragrance.

randik

This scent is warm and calming.The ginger is very detectable... It is quite unique, but I cannot use it too often; it is a perfume for special occasions, not for everyday use.

mamamia

i agree with marianne and solocha.İt smells like grandad type after shave lotions.sorry:( i think its the worst bvlgari perfume ever.

purplerose

well, one of my favorite perfume as well from BLV it's smell so nice and once you spray on your skin, the smell can tell how sophisticated you are

While I have used perfumes that did not go with my chemistry, this is the only one that I had to literally scrub off of my skin to remove the smell. I think it may be the ginger note in this one that I just cannot wear. But I think it is a good smelling perfume, as strange as that may sound given I had to scrub it away. The pungent note that I suspect is ginger is simply one that I will never be able to wear. I would suggest trying this perfume if you like a peppery/ginger scent that to my nose is not sweet or floral at all. A very unique perfume.

ticalau

One of the best from Bvlgari! Smell so good on womens... so sexy and sensual! Very nice bottle 2... but i realy don't like the spot! :))) i mean... very,very, amateur...

LORENA

Simply excellent.... My mother has it (she has lots of fragances)and she wears different fragances every day, but everytime she is wearing this one I always ask her..que perfume estas usando hoy? and she always answers...siempre me preguntas eso cuando uso BLV!!!!

elifu

I have been wearing it for four years and in the meantime I can't wear another perfume. Because all other fragrances I tried make me feel sick.

I absolutely addicted to this clean very clean but also very elevated and unique perfume. I still discover new scents in it.

Lila

Not thrilled at all... Too powdery and doesn't last long enough, on me at least.

guest_Lila

Not thrilled at all... Too powdery for my tastes and doesn't last long, on me at least.

soirdelune

The ginger notes make this a really interesting scent. Womanly, yet yielding to a sensual softness. Quite unique, too, if you are interested in wearing a perfume that stands out from the mainstream, but which is not *too* unusual. I agree with solocha that this has a certain nostalgic appeal -- which I like.

chance25

Blech...Too sweet and way too powdery. Hard to wear fearing a headache if it took a wrong turn. It reminds me of baby wipes (clean and dirty ones).

guest_Papillon

I love ginger scent.It's different from
my perfumes collection.I'll take it.

Moszatka

Bvlgari- BLV for Women is a very special powderly fragrance. It is suitable for office, meetings and every day. I like it!

KeLLStar

BLV starts out quite spicy & peppery due to the ginger.

At first I did not like the peppery notes but once the middle & base notes come out the ginger steps back and BLV turns into a beautiful, powdery fragrance.

It's a simple yet complicated fragrance that makes you feel very womanly. It's great for the office, or for nights out.

I will definitely repurchase BLV once my current bottle runs out.

Marianne

In my opinion, this is not a women's fragrance.

solocha

It reminds me of old type shaving stuff my dad and grandad used. It has nostalgic value,therefore I can see myself wearing it. Very interesting.
