BLV Notte Pour Femme (for women)

mandashell

Yikes! I just couldn't get into this one. My overall experience with this is pretty blah. Sure it has a unique combination of notes but the result, for me, is anything but heavenly. I wouldn't recommend this and would NEVER wear it. It smells so odd..? Maybe a guy could pull it off. There are far better oriental florals out there. Oh by the way this in no way shape or form resembles Hanae Mori Butterfly which is a perfume I actually liked. The two are strikingly different.

I recieved it through a swap and I a very happy with it. My encounters with BN in the malls were brief and I could not feel the whole beauty of this scent, but now, wrapped in it, I can fully appreciate it. Ginger, vodka, a tiny pinch of licorice, locust, chocolate..Very yummy! In a way, it reminded me Hanae Mori`s Butterflies, this sweet powdery notes are very close to it. But BN is more sophisticated, it has a twist to it.
I feel incense in the base, and - hooray! - the tobacco flowers.

Lilybee found a good word combination for it - "night-river freshness".

This is my favorite Bvlgari fragrance. I love wearing it, it makes me feel good. Bvlgari Notte is pleasant and elegant, and soft enough to office wear: has good staying power and isn't overly sweet. This is the kind of non-offensive fragrance almost everyone can like, but is also very distinguished. I love the combination between chocolate and vodka, and the smooth dry down. I get many compliments wearing this one. Great scent !!!

I find the opening notes interesting, rich and warm..but the drydown is like any oriental scent out there...the vodka note disappeared really fast...it is not for me, as it gives me a slight headache!

I love the chocolate note of this fragrance. I bought it without trying. I really love it and I think it is better for night events. It doesn't smell cheap. I love the warm and seductive feelings that it brings out. It's lovely.

This fragrance is something one definitely has to get used to first - and then love or hate it. I couldn't decide for a while - is it bothering me? Is there too much of a masculine nature in this scent?

I know for sure - i like it a lot after half an hour, middle notes are delightful as well as the dry down.

As for the opening notes - i'm still not sure... I have to feel absolutely confident for them.

The frag is very unusual. The begining of vodka&chocolate is strange for the first time, but after a while it turns into very warm and plesant scent. But the big plus of this perfume is it's trail!!! It has the best notes only in warm weather, it shows all its beauty. It's of good quality and taste, but not for everyone. Sometimes it seems to me that it's mixture of BLV and Omnia(1st).

This fragrance is for me personally unique, sophisticated, very attractive - in short, delicacy among my fragrances. Maybe some women dont like it, but something in it attracted me enormous, so I could not resist. Once I tried it with my friend in the store at wrists, then I have to sniff my wrist all day long. The combination of vodka and chocolate and other notes is interesting. I think it's fragrance for special occasions, I dont use it in the summer time nor for casual wear to work. In my small collection Notte is one of "top".

sharyssa

this is watery and it does smell powdery and it doesn't smell like a good quality fragrance I was disappointed with this perfume and when it dried down it smelled like rancid musk.I really wanted a bvlgari perfume for my collection but I guess I picked the wrong one! I tried the red rouge one too and didn't like it either! Can someone suggest a good strong scented bvlgari scent please?

I can BARELY smell this at all, like fresh tap water with a bit of soap in it. My daughter says it smells "like baby powder."

This one smelled like soap on me. Couldn't get used to this scent...

I've been wearing this for over an hour now. I immiediately smelled the vodka & ginger, but the chocolate has yet to make an appearance...that disappoints me, as that was one of the reasons I bought this scent. Maybe in the dry-down? Right now I can detect the iris, amber, and dominating powdery notes.

This is not very strong; I chose it specifically for work because it's as inoffensive as you can get, at least in my opinion. I'm curious to see how long it lasts. I definitely agree with most that this is a winter scent.

First try was aquatic chocolate. That's weird and just wrong. Second try, I put a little more on and got the vodka, chocolate, ginger notes. Muuuuch better. It's not that different from Black however, and since I already have a lovely full bottle of Black, I won't be buying this one anytime soon.

KJanicki

I love Omnia, it's my favourite winter comfort scent. I wonder if the ginger and mandarin in the top notes of Notte might make the open similar? I am going to get a sample of this to try for sure.

vtothek

I've never flip flopped on liking and disliking a scent as much as I have with this one. I was thinking of buying it for a while and just couldn't make up my mind. The top notes are odd, very bold and bright, and somewhat unpleasant. When it dries down though, it's a very chocolatey smell. I don't smell too many florals in it, really only the gourmand part. Turns a little powdery when it dries, and the chocolate powder smell makes it interesting. I eventually decided not to buy it, as it's much too odd for wearing a lot. Definately not an every day scent, but still worth checking out, you might like it.

INTERESTING....at least that was my first impression when i bought it but now i don t like it so much as i used to.....i don t think i ll ever buy any bulgari perfumes

sjanira

Maybe it's just my chemistry but I've tried 3 different bvlgari perfumes and while they are different indeed, they fade so quickly that it's not worth buying in my opinion. I have the original Omnia and that one lasts a little bit longer on me than this one. I sprayed it yesterday and by the time I left the store the scent was gone. I guess what works for one may not work for the other. I find this fascinating, the fact that a particular scent might smell so good in ones skin but completely lame in another.

Blv Notte is mysterious, feminine & deep.

The vodka is immediately apparent to me, & gives it a fresh water scent (like other posters have noticed). The ginger & galanga mix perfectly to give it a subtle sweet fragrance & the chocolate is the icing on the cake.

Don't let these notes scare you away. Blv Notte is not strong. It has great staying power on my skin & lasts all day. I get whiffs of it during the day.

This one is definitely sophisticated & fresh.

Blv & Blv Notte are two very special scents. Bvlgari have done a fantastic job at creating these exquisite fragrances!

Well in this perfume I never smell amber, vodka, or ginger.. I only feel something flowery, probably acacia.. Then in the dry down it is TOO MUCH powdery and musky. I was expecting a darker and mysterious perfume, but it was too light for me. Purchased online without trying as Bvlgari fragrances never failed to amaze me but this one was disappointment for me.

xexe

Its V E R Y unusual for me, too bright I should say. But fits perfect for my mom. By the way, I never smell vodka in this fragrant complex.

Aeternitas

Bvlgari never ceases to amaze me :) BLV Notte is enchanting and mystic, now my favorite Bvlgari but unfortunately the one Bvlgari that seems to lack good staying power. The smell is cold, distant, and almost uninviting because it's not one of those warm and comforting perfumes - it's fizzy and alcoholic and as Lillybee mentioned, like cold water. BLV Notte's personality is independent. I get mostly the vodka and ginger note, with a hint of chocolate and bergamot, a very interesting mix. I also find it to be very masculine. It is sexy, though I have to be in the right mood to wear this one.

A truly unusual, sophisticated fragrance that has an alluring and mysterious character. Delicious!

The top note of this fragrance is composed of the citrusy odour of cool water accented with camphor that conjures up images of the riverside at nighttime when the gently flowing water gives out its intoxicating cool freshness to its surroundings.
This night-river freshness is then mixed with heavier iris middle note and galangal, which give the fragrance a lovely oriental feel. It makes me think of having bathed with luxury iris soap.
The base is also soapy, the galangal being the most dominating note. I also detect some sweet amber and woody tones which give it a more grounded feel.

Added to this mixture is a pinch of chocolate and vodka.

The mistery ingredient:

Galangal is a plant that has a soapy, earthy citrus-like aroma. It is said to be an aphrodisiac, used in Thai cuisine and in herbal medicine.
