I tried this cologne after my obsession with Aqva died down, just to branch off and try something new, and i actually fell in love with this one.
On myself, this is definitely a night time wear for me. It is extremely strong, and i only need one spray on each wrist and 1-2 on my neck, no more.
I smell the ozonic-ness to this and the honey, and definitely the floral, but i have no citrus or aquatic smells coming at me, and if i smell hard enough, i can just get the tiny bit of woodiness it has to offer.
I would wear this to a function, or when im in business, or even on a date when ill try and project my confidence and taste, but nowhere else. Definitely not an everyday wear/beach cologne, but definitely an Autumn/winter night wear.
Lasts me about 5-6 hours, which isn't too bad :)
Overall i'd rate it 8.5/10 :)
To me, its top notes smell a little like Fahrenheit. I don't like Fahrenheit.
Wonderful smell. Perfect n fact. Sexy. Confident. And then an hour later it's all gone. It's sad that this stuff is so weak because it really is a nice scent.
Es fresco!! Solo me imagino una noche de fiesta frente al mar, junto a chicas y una fogata!! Pero si no es asi, casi no me gusto...
Pero si te gusta la frescura, peinarte para atras, y tu estilo es playero comprala!!
Longevity on my skin below average this was a blind buy. Disappointed but I think it would do well in hot humid climax. This house really need to step it up with this frag I go six sprays and I still get about 4-5hrs. I'll wear this one when I'm going to the gym.
the most intense after dry down is woodsy aroma.. longetivity is below average I think..
Best choice I've ever made...looking for years to find something new to call my own and this was the second of three tries. Just got off Gucci Envy for Men which I wore for years since high school.
I like how it changes certain notes as time goes on but is still identifiable with the vetiver...i like.
Bought the biggest bottle!!
Bananay walon ki maa ki choot, bahan chood k bachay smell like choot,
This one is very good (it dose what it says - you will like it very much) Bvlgari Man Extreme, no....
Only downfall, projection: moderate
--George Dreamer (20/3/2013)
i find some resemblace to herrera chic !!!! i like it
Very woody scent. So to speak: ligneous. Already I not liked it, but finally evolved nicely on my skin. For it has a big plus.
Like I sprayed water on myself: no projection, no longevity (gone in an hour or two). Not much scent, either. Waste of time.
It opens with full force, quite strong. Very masculine in a "old style cologne", but it quickly shifts into a powdery slightly floral scent. Pleasant but without a soul, I don't know, it's a good fragrance but not something that I really want to wear too often. I guess this can be a good present just because it's a safe fragrance that most guys like.
Not bad, nothing really stands out tho. Easily forgettable.
Very good perfume, enjoyed it a lot. Casual one, it is not a perfume that changes a lot through the dry down. But the smell is so nice and fresh and woody.
This cologne is good for spring & fall seasons. This clogne is suitable with casual clothes.
This smells like you just showered with some kind of white soap, barely dusted a tad of Johnson and Johnsons baby powder, then got dipped in some cashmere, then you add a touch of pepper and a touch of class and BAM!! That's Bvlgari Man...... With that being said it smells like a breath of fresh air.
I just want to say about this Bvlgari MAN is just good, i think this is just have a unique typical but not special for me.
Because i've fallin love the scent of Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme at any last years.
Some time last year I had a sample of Gucci Pour Homme II that I used occasionally until it was gone. I liked it, but not enough to buy a full bottle. Earlier this year my girlfriend was given a sample of Bulgaria Man, which she gave to me. I tried it, and it reminded me so much of the gph II that I had to check the vial just to confirm.
Having said that, I really do like this scent (the ladies do too). There is something warm and familiar and comforting about it to me. Kind of like coming back to your home town after having been away for a while. When my sample vial is gone I will probably buy a full bottle.
On application I'm picking up bergamot and pear coupled with a lovely violet note. The fragrance is balmy, light and quite watery though very well composed.
As time goes by it gets a little sweeter with woods showing up within the mix. I have to say this scent is quite enchanting and smells really good.
It projects off you well you but never overpowering though the longevity for me was about four to five hours.
All in all the balmy fruit and floral notes that are joined by woods gets my thumbs up.
For years, I've generally enjoyed Bvlgari scents (BLV in particular), until this garbage appeared.
As for the fragrance itself, for me, Man is so unimpressive, and smells just like Shiseido Zen for Men. Sometimes when one wants so badly for something to work, one will put up with certain things. Mediocrity should not be one of them. I quicky sold this one and recouped my losses.
Buy Zegna Extreme if you wana smell like this. Zegna is a long lasting amazing perfume. Bvlgari Man is a disappointment.
so cool !
scent,sillage and longevity hopeless !
خیلی معمولیه
I picked up a sample of this for my husband, I can't list what notes stand out to me, other than fresh-woodsy without being too sharp, too crisp, too clean, too musky. Just perfection and VERY sexy. Extremely masculine and refined without being too overbearing. Wish the lasting power was longer.
I understand the softness, given the notes softness is good, but I'm disappointed with longevity. It isn't easy to suggest an alternative because scent is so good, somehow reminds me of YSL Jazz.
***
Entiendo que sea tan suave, dadas las notas es algo bueno, pero estoy decepcionado con la duración. No es fácil sugerir una alternativa, la esencia es tan buena. De algún modo me recuerda a Jazz, de YSL.
Why is it that fragrances that are close to the skin are 'safe for the office' like you couldn't wear this scent and go clubbing? Let me tell you something friends, Bvlgari Man is one of the best fragrances out there. It's complex, peppery, and incredibly well balanced. No need for enormous and ridiculous projection.
Someone please prove to me that a woman can smell your cologne across the bar and is somehow drawn to you and I will give you my car. Smart men know it's you who draw the woman in, she catches your scent when you lean in, she becomes intrigued and comes in closer to get a better smell. Boom! you win. The Drakkar Noir/ Cool Water sillage from across the room types need not apply. This is an EDT for men who are confident and don't need to scream 'LOOK AT ME' because likely they already are.
good,but not enough. opening with bergamut and tea extremely fresh and energic.but deep notes contain a bit sugar like smell.longevity 4/5 ,sillage 4/5 .
Just sampled this today and I love the scent but is it just me or the drydown really smells like CH 212 / CH chic? if they're similar, i wont be surprised since Mr. Morillas made both perfumes. Very professional-smelling perfume, I think i'll buy a bottle of this instead of 212 :)
Great choice for daily and office use too. It lasts all day long.. Great quality, quite unique e.d.t and not overpowering. . Typical luxury Bulgary style!
First of all this is a typical Bvlgari perfume. Not a shouter but a whisperer. A very modern, elegant, creamy and soapy floral with a musky base. In the same vein as BLV pour homme and BLV notte pour homme. I agree with many reviewers that this is great choice for office.
Sillage is below average, longevity average.
The perfume has character and matches the advertisement campaign perfectly. I imagined a businessman drinking a cup of coffee at home in a casual outfit when I first sniffed Bvlgari Man. Very good and very safe one. Thumbs up.
Bvlgari Man for me is an instant classic and will always remain in my collection. The projection on my skin is very good and the longevity is between 8-10 hours. Overall rating 9.5/10
Not lasting but smells good.
nice scent but very weak longivity
I was on a "smelling excursion" at Nordstrom and a sales associate told me she was psychic. She said, "Since you have two men in your life, give this to each of them and the one that smells the best is the one you keep." I did and we are married now.
When my husband wears it, I get lots of refreshing, cool spruce. It's very clean, and unlike most similarly marketed men's fragrances (especially those other Bvlgaris) has none of that awful evergreen-cedar-aquatic which I find repulsive.
A fresh Oriental woodsy fragrance which is very light its modern and totally inoffensive,a blind buy for me and i don't regret it at all, A very beautiful bergamot opening tamed by violet leaf and the lotus, the middle and end are really nice, the sandalwood is rather well done here i must say, it gets close to the skin soon but all in all worth a try if you fancy the bvlgari house.
6.5*/10*
The opening is with too much alcohol or something which gives an instant headache. And if you survive this you get a faint skin scent (soft/sweet/musky). Nice idea, nice bottle, but really too much headaching synthetics. I chucked away my bottle.
Cool, great for a day in the office in Autumn.
3 hour watery wood power. Smells great...for a little while...then it's just a talc and musk and wood scent like all the other "modern" orientals. Save a few bucks and try Burberry Brit.
I checked this one out yesterday! Nothing special and had a very weak scent! Too many others out there that are much better!
very boring, weak scent. don't waste my money on this
save your cash,its nothink spesial go in bulgary blue or extreme for spesial
I tried this perfume from my friend and it smells like for old men. Very deep and strong. Not for teenagers who wants compliments from girls.
I just got a bottle today and on my way home, I thought, I had or have something like this and realized the scent is similar to Lanvin Arpege mixed with Carolina Herrera Chic.
The scent is not for everyone though, which I like, it may be too strong for others, especially if you live in a tropical country like I do.
Overall, it's not bad.
A pleasant enough scent, very highly rated, but the longevity and projection is far too weak for my liking. I am not into fragrances that have the attraction of "Nice, but stays close to the skin" as I do not see the purpose unless you want to wear a perfume as if you are doing it sort of "undercover."
very nice fragrance with neither sillage no longevity.just like nothing money can buy!!!.to me a cologne without longevity and sillage is like knock offs,cheap and fake cologne,i ma relly regret for my blind purchase.in fact,the nose behind the cologne is close to nothing and the time is almost killing him.i am not recommend it
recent update:
i came to find out it is only noticeable to my wife as it project very low and intimacely,thus i am not recommend this one to bachelors!!!!!
I really lover this one, i offered it to my man last Xmas and it's perfect for him, classy but yet sensual, light but soft, woody and clear; a modern, manly elegant fragrance. He used to wear Allure and M7 fresh YSL; this one it's perfectly in that style... the dry down is very sensual, sandalwood and benzoin, & cashmeran anso, that gives a specific softness, and warmth. But never too heavy or macho, or too oldfashioned like Azzaro. Good for all day or evenings. Good longevity, sofisticated and elegant.
Best perfume of summer,sweet and oriental woody,fantastico.
This is even weaker than the other Bylgary male scents. After blv, I consider it the nicest one though. Consider it a waste of money though, given its weakness and the extremely poor staying power.
Very sophisticated, overall! It's not aggressive, it doesn't scream for attention, but it serves to please without a question. It's the type of scent you'd wear when you expect to meet new people, and wish to present yourself as a classy and determined man.
It suits my body chemistry quite well (smells even better on me than on the paper), the projection is average. With one spray on my chest area, I can catch a hint of the odour everytime I stand up or turn around. It's been around 3-4 hours since I applied it and it still projects, we'll see how it turns out.
I already got complimented for the scent.
I think this might be my next purchase unless I come up with something else.
Smells like bugspray the first 5 min... After that, amazing!
I don't care what the ingredient list says: I get 90% sandalwood. I can detect cedar and benzoin unaided, but as for the honey I've got to apply heat. I think the honey should be perceptible without having to breathe on the cologne...is that asking too much?
Years ago I used to buy sandalwood oil at a shop that sold bongs, incense, tie-dyed shirts, woven bags...you get the picture. Well, this stuff smells nearly the same. Just dress the bottle down a little (would a mini fringed vest be over the top?) and you've got a cologne worthy of Woodstock. That may not have been what Bvlgari was going for, but that's what they've come up with. Peace, baby.
Call me a cynic, but when I read the positive reviews that would have you believe this is a complex or sophisticated composition, I know that these opinions are nothing more than a favorable bias for a high-end brand rearing its head. It's not practical, but perfumes are best tested blinded. You can be sure the critiques on this site would be telling quite different stories.
Begins with an extra masculine scent almost like the body odor of a big guy, it follows with a fresh and pure classy sandalwood note. I actually like this sandalwood scent but dare not to wear it on the street because It recalls the memory of my buddist grandma.
Just got my bottle of this perfume from my sister in Germany. To be honest, Ive smelt it already at the mall (in a piece of paper) and I didnt like it that much but when my sister asked me which perfume i want, i told her to send me Bvlgari Man (only because I loved the bottle) lol.
I was excited to open it and try it on my skin and guess what, it smells amazing even after few hours now. Maybe you wont really appreciate it when it is sprayed on a paper as a sample but try it on your skin and wait for it to blend on your natural body scent and youll find out if its a good frag for you.
I am a fan of Bvlgari scents as I am using Aqva and Extreme (I get the most compliments on Aqva). Both smells great on me but Bvlgari Man gives me this "Sophisticated Modern Man" smell. Im sure my friends will also love this scent on me. Thumbs up on this woodsy spicy with a bit citrusy cologne. :)
I keep on smelling it til now :)
خوشم نیومد از بوی اون.معمولی و تکراری
Good woody fragrance in a nice-looking bottle.
It's classy and elegant for certain occasions.
Not ideal for Summer, because the heavy scent can be too much for some. A person might be able to pull it off in the Winter, but it's ideal for Fall/Spring.
Clive Owen is the perfect celeb to endorse this masculine fragrance, but I wouldn't classify this as sensual.
Because I'm a businessman myself, I can see myself wearing this into meetings. It definitely screams out, "I'm a businessMAN" or "MAN", so this is for any guy who's seeking a fragrance to wear in a business setting, banquet, dinner party, etc. Very ideal for suits/tuxedos.
It does smell watery and spicy.
It does project quite well, yet subtle. It can be too much if oversprayed, so try not to spray too much around the neck area.
I got mines at Macy's as a gift set with their "lucky lottery/spin the wheel" along with extra gels, bags, keychain, etc.
I wouldn't pay full retail price for this.

Again the Italian Perfumes, honestly i prefer it because it's not that normal perfume, and when you smell it you know it's different than the French and The American perfumes.
Bulgari Man, is new, actually it's the best of Bulgari.
Bulgari homme was the best one , but Bulgari Man is just better, it's good for casual outing and Perfect for Evenings, not actually for work because you'll fee it's more precious than to spend it at work, unless if you're
a big general manager for an international company or something, lol.
Smell it and you'll definitely like it.
Just back after buy my 3rd bottle of this gem.. Sophistication and class ... On fabric stays for days.. My signature scent for office from last year and will go on untill they stop making ... One of the best from bvlgari...
This is only ok to me. Starts out nice with a subtle but strong masculinity. The middle is really nice-I would wear the middle notes for formal occasions. The base kills me. It smells like ck euphoria to me and that's just boring.
awsome awsome and simply awsome! any questions?
well done Alberto Morillas.
Bvlgari Man woody from beginning to end,not traditional.
Another masterpiece from BVLGARI house.
Great alternative for YSL L'Homme.
Very subtle, classy and sexy.
This is how modern man should smell.
Not for hairy macho, but for the subtle, intelligent guys who know how to smell good.
Great scent with suitable longevity.
4.99/5
Genius in my opinion. I've been looking for a slight vetiver frag that doesn't draw a lot of attention. It lasts all day but very subtle. You'll smell it when you least expect it.
strange, very strange scent (in negative way), the opening blast make me nausea, a cheap vetiver scent.
if the listed pyramid is accurate here, so I can conclude that the top notes remains just for fraction of a second, so as you will smell the heart notes when the perfume molecules reach your nose, vetiver, some synthetic woods scent, project 1/2 inch far from your body, and then it the musky/honey drydown comes quickly and settles as a skin scent
too bad,sorry for this ghost's lovers
Bvlgari Man is a light/ slight modern fragrance that falls in the wear it by day/ to work category. A non offensive scent that really doesn't have much structure.
Opens with a nice bergamont whiff but never really elevates it's self to greatness. The dry down is too polite.
I find BV Man a sorta citrusy, kinda grean, somewhat woodsy frag which never really settles in to any one of these groups.
Sillage and longevity are slightly sub par on me.
Have no comment on the bottle since I reviewed from a sample. But from the picture, I perceive it to be a classic modern macho creation.
A sophisticated, very masculine, dry, spicy-woody scent with a hint of fruity sweetness. Seems to quickly develop from top to base very quickly and becomes a skinscent with average longevity. I enjoy and appreciate the quality of the scent, but some sillage would be expected, otherwise there is no point. Quite disappointing as I enjoy most Bvlgari scents and was really looking forward to this one.
OK This one is very strange on my skin.
Opening is nice, but once midtones start coming out I'm very confused...at the same time I can smell masterpiece and the smell of the old socks. Very confusing.
After one hour or so smell of the old socks go away and you are left with only brilliant part of it. From there basenotes take over and continue in the same direction with only perfect woody smell. Better part of the midtones and basenotes remind me a lot of Bvlgari pour homme Soir.
On my skin this one can be felt for ages...eight ours at least...and only one hour of those I can smell dirty old socks.
It is a great pick, but be careful not to date someone during old socks phase :) I still prefer Soir, but will consider buying this one also in the future.
this is the best fragrance has never smell it before.
I will give 9/10 for this very great perfume its masculine and clasic.
i recommend it for every wise man ;)
Definitely The Best Fragrant...
In my opinion this is one of the best releases not only of the Bvlgari house, but also of the past few years.
The scent is at the same time light, classy and decisively masculine. It is unmistakeably woody (clean, freshly cut woods), fresh but also well rounded. There is a hint of citrus in the opening that fades for the woods to come forward and dominate after the opening. However the citrus is so masterfully integrated that you never get this frequently annoying 'citrusy' opening note found in 99% of perfumes of the same vein.
It has a restraint and elegant feel and I would describe it as a minimalist's fresh outdoors fragrance. I have to agree with a number of people who claim that it is rather 'safe' and not very bold, but my feel is that it was meant to be this way - just like a simple and understated mono-block minimal sofa that doesn't need lion heads carved on its sides and legs to be beautiful.
Overall, to me Bvlgari Man is one of the classiest Bvlgaris for men available (alongside Soir) and a first class signature scent for any occasion and climate.
Ok, I've been looking for years and years to find a fragance 100% my taste, and finally i've found it. And this is it! A piece of art. Delightfull, kind, humble, uplifting, intelligent and overall MASCULINE. If your first experience with this was "WOW this is really nice", you will never get tired of smelling it, that's for granted.
BUT since it is a "safe" fragance, it will NEVER be invasive, and that is the cause for the main critic that it has: "Lack of projection & quickly fades away". So, if you only use it in you wrists and neck, it will be too weak after one or two hours. Then... feel free to spray it all over! And only for the best. Spray it in your wrists, neck, arms, legs, head, hands, ears, nose and eyes... ;) and you'll be the whole day expelling the nicest, most elegant and masculine smell possible, and without bothering anyone. To me, one of the best fragances ever. Love at first smell, should I say.
This is so light that I can barely smell it. I like Bvlgari fregrances just not this one.
Love it on my boyfriend,classic yet young! Man like and not teenage.
What folks have to keep in mind is that this 'mens' cologne isn't supposed nor does it claim to be a jaw dropping out of this world frag. it is an elegant and intriguing fragrance, without relation to age, for a man as the name suggests. another masterpiece from the house of bvlgari. great work
A cashmere wrap, a wingback chair, in front of the fire with a rum drink. If only there were a concentrate. Silage may be poor, but keep spraying. Sometimes subtelty gets the vote. Puts the "He Woods" to shame. Can't wait to purchase the new limited edtition. For me Bvlgari is now on the radar. Happy New Year All!
Tried this one, as it came in a 12 cologne sampler gift set, and hands down this was the worst scent in the box.
Like momma taught ya, if you don't have anything nice to say... I'm done.
Bvlgari Man....A really nice woodsy spicy fragrance. I also agree about this being a great office scent, that will not offend or be intrusive in anyway. A very nice Spring scent, that is suited for 20+ years....IMO. Although my 16 year old son does own and loves this one???
Tried this at the weekend. I own several Bvlgari's including Pour Homme, Aqva and PH Soir and this Bvlgari Man is by far the weakest on my skin.
A very average scent which does not compare with Pour Homme or Aqva. This scent does not offer anything different from the boring scents that are flooding the men's markets these days.
Very modern, yet unintrusive. Spicey, but nevertheless difficult to identify. Presumably it won't annoy anyone, and that is - as mentioned below - almost perfect for a day at the office. You won't get many compliments, but that's not the point of this scent. For what it wants to be: well done.
best for cool office wear. Definitely masculine and sophiticated scent, as well as boss bottled.
9/10 - day fragrance
At first I like it because it really smeels sophisticated, like a gentlemen. The opening is overwhelmed with tea leaf, some hint of lotus, and wood.
Then I find the scent is too much that it gives me nausea and headache. Bye.
Really like this fragrance. I rarely like fragrance on men but this one is smooth, round and doesn't slap me in the face or envelope me in a cloud.
In fact, I wouldn't mind to wear this myself if it were a bit more floral. Decidedly masculine, warm soft honey(ed) woods with just the right amount of patch. Not too much silage, just enough. As another reviewer put it so eloquently---not a shout of I love you across a crowded room but a soft and seductive I love you whispered in an ear. Very nice.
My dad had accidentally bought this for himself when i recommended him Bvlgari black. He wasn’t disappointed, and neither was i when i smelled this.
It doesn’t try to make you smell more like a man, it more or less assists the smell you’re already naturally born with. This scent will smell different on every person that wears it, guaranteed. I believe that’s what Bvlgari was going to with this fragrance.
Clear and sheer, Bvlgari man is definitely one of the better, more original releases from any designer house as of late. It begins very clean with a soft accord of lotus blossom and violet leaves. Violet leaves are a gamble for me, sometimes they smell very dirty and now that i think of it, liken to patchouli in some ways and other times they can assist in a proper “crispness” without the addition of “calone”.
The lotus blossom is very “white floral-y” if you catch my drift (powdery dewy), but something that this flower has over other white flowers is that it sniffs out sort of velvety, smooth and a hint green. In the heart of the scent i smell a VERY strong vetiver. Not the same vetiver you’ll find in a Guerlain with the same name.
This vetiver is very earthy and soft accented by sandalwoods which only further the notion of “earth”. Finally in the base of this wonderful perfume we find honey, white musks, cashmere woods, amber and benzoin crystals. When i first saw the base of this scent i just KNEW i had to have it and by GOD is it good.
The white musks work together with honey to sort of assist in the sillage and aromatic properties of the base. Smooth cashmere woods paired with amber and benzoin crystals finish up the fragrance with a clap/eyebrows up, as yo suggest “Well, that’s it. What do you think?”
After a month of very intensive searching for a new perfume (to replace D&G The One which dies too quickly on my skin), I suddenly smelled this after a dance performance. I asked the people who just seated themselves, but neither wore anything.
Turned out it was one of the actors who had passed at 2 meters. (And who luckily was kind enough and able to tell me what it was.)
This is the peculiarity of this perfume for me:
very good projection, but not that strong directly on my skin.
Anyway I bought it and it seems to have sufficient longevity (10h) to become my new signature.
Very manly. A bit old school in what for me is the good sense.
Longevity on the skin: it did not seem to re-awake as much to heat as to moisture on the skin (washing in the morning).
Perfect, Wonderful, Enchanting, Exquisite, Charming, Attractive, Modern, Timeless, Chic, Bombastic...
This is Bvlgari Man...
Magnificently blameless...
It is magnificent in the sense that there is not a sweet perfume, or smell the flowers, or soft, or something that is typically associated with women's perfumes...
This is 100% male... Of that I'm sure...
Now I have my Bvlgari Man I can assure you that it is a wonderful perfume.
It smells really good.
The longevity and projection are very good.
This is definitely a high quality product.
Highly attractive.
I love it.
I strongly recommend.
When it first was released I dismissed it for I found it was too weak and too non-discript.
Today I revisited this "handsome" scent and thought that it is a really good corporate fragrance, smelling of a sophisticated businessman.
I smell paper, pen, documents, money and power.
Really distinguished and classy. (or a sexy librarian?)
If you want to make an impression in the boardroom or at that all important interview without risking to offend anyone, THIS is the scent I would recommend.
Not the right choice for a creative fashion party though, but then again, this scent matches the limo and all that silver and chrome.
Definitely the best Bvlgari has delivered for men thus far!
update* surprisingly enough this has turned into one of my most complimented fragrances, it works its magic best when getting right out of the shower but it never fails, i ALWAYS get complimented on it when i wear it, it is subtle but it gets u noticed and people really like it so i am going to correct it and say it is a 7.5 o.o. 10
This perfume is so good. when i put it, i felt a wonderful, leathery and smoky blast...i loved it! I wish it lasted longer, because it has a very poor longevity.It's so lame!!!!
BTW: It it simmilar to my beloved and discontinued GUCCI ENVY.
Well this is what the modern man scent should be. Very masculine, woodsy, and subtle. Fresh but not citrusy, perfect for man 27 y.o and up, not boys or teen. Gives confident without overwhelming.
I found this versatile enough for office, outdoor woorker in hot weather, and dinner at evening. Another great fragrance from Bvlgari, especially after tired Bulgari Aqua.
Sillage : B (subtle but notable)
Longevity : B (around 5 hours)
Scent : A-
Overall : Very recommended.
I received a sample of this perfume and loved it.
It has a lot of class, defining the true gentleman.
As for the longevity and projection also seemed to be good.
I am thinking of wanting to have this perfume in my collection.
I love it.
well well well, went to buy versace pour homme and ended up buying this. its pretty good. lot of compliments and lifts my mood. smells divine. but wont leave versace pour homme, will get it next time. somebody next to me bought joop jump and what a cologne that is, awesome. joop jump second in my list after versace. cheers
I will add a full review later, but for now I want to post a notes list I just found at Nordstroms (listed for a gift set of Bvlgari Man that is no longer available) that is more fleshed out and I believe more accurate than the others listed (at least based on what I have been able to smell in the scent - I definitely detected olibanum/frankincense throughout the scent and this list confirms it. Also, it would make sense that the sandalwood is not true Mysore, but instead the rougher/sharper australian sandalwood, which is then smoothed out by the "cashmere woods" which is likely the synthetic molecule cashmeran).
Anyhow, here is the fuller list:
Notes: bergamot, lotus flower, violet leaves, pear (white), cypriol, sandalwood (Australian), vetiver, wood (white), woods (cashmere), vegetal amber, musks, benzoin, olibanum, tonka bean, honey (white).
It's my favorite on a man. I can't get enough of it's addictive smell. It's somewhat spicy but musky at the same time. Very classy without been overwhelming.
It can have a little of a sweet smell without loosing the man scent.
In résumer: beautiful and classy.
One of my best perfumes of all time. My wardrobe is hardly fixed on one perfume but this perfume has become a regular there now. Really love it. I've had so many compliments from men and women. I am wearing it right now.
I remember the first time I used this at home. My brother, who does not like fragrances, asked me what did I just sprayed on me. He was really impressed by the smell and he bought one for himself. The first notes smells somewhat powdery and then the dry down is woodsy musky or something like that. It smells sophisticated and masculine. I won't regret buying this even though for me, its longevity and sillage are just average.
This fragrance can remind me of Terre d'Hermes a bit in the drydown but starts off crisp and peppery. After the chemical note wears off it gets a bit peppery with a light floral tone that develops into a more woodsy note after 5 hours. Lasts about 6-7hours on a hot day for me but a bit longer if I spray it on my clothes and around the collar. Stays close to the skin on me. Nice scent for the fall and spring. Not sure about summer for me.
Scent:8.5
Sillage:7
Projection:6.5
Longevity:7
Overall: 7.25
(Edit)Finally figured out that strange note that I had a problem with to begin with in this one as Vetiver. It smelled rank the first time I caught it but it kind of grew on me. Not a vetiver fan but this one is subtle enough to be collected.
I have tested this on and off since its release and have decided to get a bottle of this. I kind of dismissed at the outset as a bit "nothingy " but it needs to be tested in isolation to get the full benifits of the the scent.
This fragrance is very clever in my opinion because it seems to have spatial awareness in its notes that allow the different aspects of the fragrance to develop in a minimalist low hum. The main feel I get from this is an elegant honey vetiver which lingers for many hours. It isn't loud which is not a bad thing. To me it is the difference between shouting "i love you" across the room and sweetly whispering it into somebody's ear.
IMHO, this is epitome of sophistication & opulence. I won’t be flabbergasted if it goes on to become a modern classic because of its versatility.
It’s not been deliberated for the youth since it clearly appears to be a signature scent for that self assured, matured man. No overkill on those subtle citrus notes that have been added at the top to give it whiffs of freshness. I can smell the abundantly rich, woody cashmere notes.
Projection is really nice & Longevity is decent too (nearly 5 – 6 hours on my skin). Be ready for compliments galore although you may not sense its presence on yourself after a couple of hours. Clearly a day wear for the spring/fall season. The bottle design is really eye-catching!
this came in a job lot of samples i bought on ebay and, having read the reviews mentioning it's unisex qualities, i decided to give it a try. (i don't have a poor unsuspecting bf to try it on.) i'm not used to sampling or analysing men's scents so please bear with me. i got the violet and lotus very fleetingly at the start, which is a good thing because there was the slightest tinge of sweat about it but for the most part, it is wood and amber to me. gentle, unobtrusive without being hidden, warm, classy and it lasts a long time. another scent tested with me being unaware of it's morillas credentials and another morillas scent that i would walk over hot coals for. why hasn't this man been knighted yet? lovely on me, if a little masculine but i feel i could pull it off in winter but if i found a man wearing this i might just follow him home :) (get your minds out the gutter please!)
i just got this fragrance like 3 days ago and though i do like it i have to say it is a bit of a walking contradiction. the name makes it sound like it would be extremely rugged and masculine and it is not that at all i envision the regular joe using this to go to his job as a telemarketer, the scent itself kinda smells powdery to me and it has hints of aquatic (ask me how that happened) longevity and projection are also in scarcity seeing as though it lasts like 4 hours on my skin and does project much further than a person who leans in to smell u.. when i saw the amazingly crafted bottle i was expecting a fragrance that was as strong and maybe more elegant than the stronger bvlgari fragrances, but this one was not up to par... it is an enjoyable fragrance but it lacks son WOW-FACTOR to it... all and all i would give this a 6 o.o. 10 , and the bottle is amazing (just thought i should point that out)
Light, generic woody aquatic. It's like every designer frag these days has to be office proof. A shame...
It reminds me of Bleu de Chanel, but Bleu is much deeper and has 10x more character than this one.
Turned very sour on my skin, so had to wash it off after a few hours.
4/10
Just tested it this morning and I must say this. I GOTTA HAVE IT AND I GOTTA HAVE IT RIGHT NOW.
Great fragrance! The kind of cologne I was looking for daily usage on office. It fits well with you if you wear a business suit and like to feel comfortable without disturbing anyone around.I get a wonderful scent of wood combined with honey and some spicy.Longevity is great and sillage is good.Congratulations Bvlgari!
I hate lotus flower and it's the main player here.
Lotus with sweetness from honey and benzoin sitting in a woody base.
Not appealing to my taste.
Longevity 6 hours with good projection.
I like it, it's fresh, modern, and discret, nothing special as some reviews saying, in my opinion perfect for the office men, not offensive but distinctive.
I spry it on me at 7 am, it's 3 pm and still smelling it.
I tried this with my husband in mind, for obvious reasons. On the test strip it smelled primarily of bergamot, vetiver, and indistinct woody notes. On the back of my hand it smelled completely different: much more aquatic citrusy with only hints of wood and a whole lot of amber in the dry down. That evening I had my husband smell my hand, he said he thought it was "nice but not that different" from some other perfumes I have. I told him I'd originally been thinking about getting it for him when I tried it. His response was that it wasn't his style and that it was "too soft." I pretty much agree with his analysis: nice but not unique, very understated, more unisex than expected.
Bvlgari Man may not be as groundbreaking as everybody expected, but it's a nice fragrance. It starts with floral and citrus notes at the same time. I get some lemon, violet leaf and a fruity note that I identify as pear, although it's not listed in here.
The rest of the development reminds me of the white color. I get some soft white flowers and some woody notes, but no honey. Staying power and sillage are okay, but could be better.
My sister got a sample of this when she went to some store. I must say, at first I didn't care for it. Now it's starting to grow on me. Not a FANTASTIC fragrance, but it's pretty good. Smells a little like a baby wipe, or baby powder.. except I don't exactly like baby wipes and baby powder. Definitely a spring/summer/morning/afternoon scent that I think a guy of about any age could wear. It's priced fairly appropriately. I'd give it a 7.5.
At first it was disappointing. But it's a Bvlgari, a house that I have always been a great fan of (and I had bought a whole bottle), so I had to give it some other tries. To my surprise, I grew to love this gem.
I do not consider it to be a citrus scent. It's much more than that. There is a citrus feel to it because of the bergamot, but trust me, it goes far beyond a simplistic label. Bvlgari Man evolves and evolves. It is as refined as a Bvlgari could be. Morillas accepts the market appeal and that's for sure, but he creates something new out of what could easily be commom, ordinary and deja-vu. It's a perfect scent for any occasion. You'll do well at the gym or in a classic event. In a suit or in sports clothes. It's also a great candidate for a signature scent because of its versatility and good vibe.
Oh my god! Huge disappointment. i am feeling very very sorry for Bvlgari. Great advertisement great packaging but a poor fragrance. Very light very ordinary, it is like a plain water in the bottle poor projection poor silage and poor longevity. It is diluted oriental/spicy sort of fragrance.
I give it 5 out of 10.
I obtained a sample and must say that this is an absolutely beautiful (and versatile) scent. I just love the beeswax note. (I agree that the opening is somewhat reminding of Burberry London, but a few minutes later, it's very much different; likening these two scents would be misleading.)
A few words on the difficulty to judge a fragrance's longevity and sillage:
Some say Bvlgari Man's projection and longevity are great, some say they're poor. Personally, I'm undecided. On one hand, I certainly wish the scent was stronger and longer lasting: as unbelievable as it may sound, ten minutes after applying it onto my wrist, I sometimes have a very hard time detecing the smell with my nose touching my skin (and I've read that others made a similar experience). But I do get the occasional faint whiff of it when my nose isn't close to my wrist, so it must be there, lingering in the air.
On the other hand, I have the suspicion that this might be at least partly the result of my nose becoming blind to the smell extremely quickly, unabling me to judge the actual sillage and longevity. In contrast to what I wrote above, I've applied Bvlgari Man on the back of my hand yesterday at 8 pm, could hardly detect it in the following hours, but today at 8 am, I was surprised that I could smell its faint remains on my skin at first sniff, a full twelve hours after application.
To form a more reliable opinion, I'd have to ask someone else every hour or so if s/he can still smell Bvlgari Man on me and from how far away - a method that's not very practical, but more likely to yield an objective result.
I've had this before with other fragrances. I couldn't detect them on my wrist after a relatively short time. Then I opened the window and got a breath of fresh air and suddenly, the scent on my wrist was back (actually, my nose was re-enabled to smell it). Had I re-applied instead, I'd have in fact over-applied.
Interestingly, with some fragrances, this effect doesn't seem to be as much of a problem. One spritz of Azzaro Homme or Guerlain Vetiver on my wrists, for example, and I can smell them for hours without having to bring my nose very close to my skin. They're both much stronger scents, so that my nose can't as easily blend them out. But maybe it also has something to do with the ingredients and how my nose reacts to them.
What's more, noses might in fact work differently. This would explain why some reviews differ so much regarding strength and longevity of a fragrance or its most prominent notes.
The best of 2010, perfect. Sometimes he remember the beat burberry, perhaps because of vetiver. Vetiver and bergamot are definitely the notes that most appears in my skin all the time. I LOVE.
Ok, I need to get a bigger bottle of it. I think finally I came up with a signiture scent. The funny thing is that I hated this cologne when I first tried it and the only reason I got this was that I found it popular in this website. Now I love it. It is in the middle of refreshing scent and an aromatic scent. It's neither aromatic or refreshing, but it's both of them at the same time. It is terrific, and at the same time safe. You can be wearing this at nights, days, hot weather or cold, but I would choose something stronger in cold days, I guess The One. If you are one of those people who love an intense cologen, this is a perfect choice because it is intense but can't be rude and overpowering, and if you like a refreshing light scent, it still works well. Thank you Bvlgari. Thanks God. ;)
Oh! one more thing to mention: longevity is awesome.
Finally got this... Really classy fragrance!!! I love this... perfect for special occasion, or office maybe, if you are a high class business man, heheheh...
It isn´t as bad, I like it, but it has extremely short longevity, at least on my skin... After reading another reviews, there are most opinions saying, that the longevity is one of the turn-ons of this cologne. For me not. I know, that after 4 hours my friend smelled my neck and ask "what cologne am I wearing" - that´s ok, I´m just missing that occasional smell of my cologne, which I will smell, not the others. However, I can recommend.
Love this scent dry down is sooooo good but unfortunately there is zero projection with this cologne. Definite for the close moments in life.
6.5/10 would have been 10/10 if it actually projected.
Funally I got this perfume, and based on reviews I put high expectation on this fragrance. When I sprayed it on my wrist, top note resembles to CK Eternity or Dior Fahrenheit. I did not notice the base note, but the drydown on me is more like powdery delicate skin. Nice, but probabli I will wear it when I should meet with important collagues. This perfume is firm, not screaming but it is there!
MAN is definitely the oriental king of Bvlgari.
You guys who know Kelly Caleche by Hermes: Bvlgari Man is Kelly's masculine equivalent. It oozes eminence and despite its strong herbal structure, it manages to stay distant (meaning aristocratic).
Amber and beeswax/white honey balance this oriental creation very well. The fragrance lasts a few hours on skin; this is pretty typical to Bvlgari frags.
For cold, sunny days.
Hi.
Nice is the word comes to mind with this one.BVLGARI MAN is fresh and unpretentious,opening with vitality and lingering warmth and soft on my skin. Modern,Simple,Urban,Familiar,Pleasant, well-balanced,Daytime scent with a Beautiful bottle.
When I first sprayed on my skin i got the immediate feeling that i had tested some similar scents before as It starts out smelling of citrus like a loaf of fragrances in the market then fades to a subtle and woody notes.the honey just inset strong enough or apparent.this scents doesn't have a lot of oomph for me and sorry i am not impressed with it.
This scents light enough for EVERYDAY&OFFICE use but not special enough for Evening occasions. BVLGARI MAN would be also good for wearing in WARM weather. it is more for younger man.Anyway like often fragrances from BVLGARI this fragrance is certainly a respectable quality too but not for me!
Sillage?Nice.
Longevity?5 hours on my skin.
6.5/10
When I smell Bvlgari Man, there is only one word coming up: SAFE. And then I think about the first verses of that song from Randy Rodgers Band, called Reason to stay: "You look pretty good, for all that you've seen
Your smiles still as bright as its ever been
You wont show your eye, scared that they might
Show all the world what you told me last night..."
Any reason to stay?
Ok DO NOT try on paper, TEST ON SKIN! Big difference.
This perfume is easy for me to explain;
The smell is modern and sensual, spicy and floral, musky, sexy, oriental.
Reminiscent to Molton Brown's Black Pepper.
Also on the initial application it's reminiscent to Narciso Rodriguez, but it's far less musky and more smoky.
The projection, for the style of fragrance it is, is a very good at first, I could smell my hand from belly height notably. Unfortunately te longevity is quite poor, so this projection disappears quickly, within the hour, then stays very close to the skin.
More in your face projection and lasting alot longer would grant a purchase for me.
If I have to pay the amount the department store wants for it, I'd rather walk a block over and get Molton Brown Black Pepper for just a tad more than the price of this.
This fragrance is not for a mass public and not for the youth. Bvlgari Man is another one example of trendy woody green scents, but much softer than, for example, Kenzo Homme Boisee. It's a typical Bvlgari fragrance: clean, light and dry, that would be excellent for office wearing, for those who don't like to smell "loud".
Well rounded fragrance that's created to please a general public (the same trend with Bleu de Chanel) It does has the element of The Soir and the Extrême, plus something sweeter, peppery, clean fresh, and younger feel to this new mix. It's a clean sophisticated and masculine scent. I think it's perfect for everyday use, especially for office use. In addition, the bottle is gorgeous. Who can resist?
I always adore perfume line from Bvlgari ... from pour home to soir and I always loved the way they created scent which are remarkable scent ...
For Bvlgari for man I found not very surprising with the smell, somehow I did smell the same essence like bvlgari soir and I was so surprise what a resemble to terre de hermes. But I like this more, because it's more has a soft version.
and the bottle ... great design
This one contains that new cedar wood note that I don't like at all. It's also in the very inexpensive Cuba Red, but there, plenty of spice and other "masculine" notes keep it from becoming irritating. Here, unfortunately, it ruins the fragrance for me, though I'm not a big fan of the other notes either. Is this the Iso E Super molecule? I enjoy vintage fragrances mostly these days, but what I can say for sure is that I'd much rather wear Cuba Red than this one, and I don't find myself especially drawn to CR these days. The wood note is just too "synthetic," sort of like a metallic dust with some cedar shavings mixed in there.
Bvlgari Man is pleasantly light and airy, a slightly more conservative and clean release from the house of Bvlgari.
This fragrance is suitable for pretty much everyone. Because of its simplicity however, I can see many people getting bored by it. It doesn't tend to develop much past a clean and musky woods scent, and in some ways it smells like many other fragrances on the market today.
I find Bvlgari Man quite watery at times and a tad too simple, however it's one fragrance I can safely say won't offend anyone with its presence. For my own personal wear I don't find it all too feminine and in some ways it can be too discreet.
On a rather warm day, I do believe this fragrance could be quite refreshing, yet I think it could work well in any season. When I tested this fragrance out on a male friend of mine I was quite surprised by how clean and natural this fragrance was on him, which was a relief seeming that his skin often turns a fragrance bitter and strong.
Overall a likable fragrance, while although playing it safe, is worthy of a purchase for those that aren't into anything too bold.
After repeated usage,this is a very well-rounded fragrance.Sensual & masculine,but with a modern emphasis.
This fragrance has certain aqua elements which are very similar to Beyond Paradise For Men.However,the mix & blend is very subtle.Really the highest quality.
I'm not a huge fan of Bvlgari fragrances (except Soir & Black), so when I tested Bvlgari Man today I tried to keep an open mind about it...and I think I did!
A complex fragrance that starts green-fresh-aromatic & faint woody (bergamot & violet leaf - strong & in your face) with a touch of sweet flower (lotus) and some wet woods (reminds me here of a stronger version of Bvlgari PH Soir) that surrounds you for the first couple of hours.
The middle is really elegant with clear dry vetiver and warm sandalwood that completes the nice opening and stays like this another 2 hrs. Aromatic woods, musk and a distant amber & honey feeling rises at drydown.
I instantly placed this wonderful release on my 'want' list (together with Bvlgari PH Soir,even if they are not very different, but enough for me to deserve a separate purchase).
My humble rank 8.5/10.
A recent purchase.Very refined,sophisticated & urbane.Great product.
On my skin:
Top : A fresh opening citrusy scent, with a burst of pepper scent and spices. Smells very classy. 1-3 hours mark.
Middle: The scent dries down with a little woody scent kicking in, honey like scent pops out, but not over powering. 2-3 hours mark.
Base: I get nothing but amber and woody scent. 1-2 hours mark.
I wish the top notes lasted a little longer.
Practically boring to me.
A great scent for the day, or for the work, if this lasted 8 hours on your skin and you are working in the bank or some corporate company, this is the scent for you.
Practically, it is a good scent, it is not ground breaking, it is an easy scent, that girls might be pleased with the scent.
The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This works very well on both, but better daily, it is a little quiet at night or cold, but for sure it could be someone's date scent.
My rating (base on 5 stars)
Scent: 2 (nice try Bvlgari, but citrus is common scent, adding the pepper just makes it like peanut better with blackcurrant jam).
Sillage: 3 (this is okay, its not gonna get attention, it is not loud, it can be scent from a whiff of air).
Time length: 3 (unfortunately, I get 6 hours for this juice).
Occasion: 3 (100% work scent, if you get 8 hours from this, this is for sure a great working scent which is on par with Allure and Bleu).
Overall base on mathematics: 2.75/5
Nice try Bvlgari, but I have yet to experience something better from your house =)
My criteria for the cologne I would buy for my bf set a pretty high bar. I wanted something somewhat youthful, but didn't remind me of an Abercrombie or Hollister scent. It had to be more sophisticated than that. I also didn't want a scent so mature that it reminded me of my dad. Therefore, it had to be not too heavy. But at the same time it had to smell masculine, so there had to be a kick of spices, not just aquatic, citrus, etc. Well this was it! After smelling nearly everything, Bvlgari Man hit the mark. It fits all of what I listed above; starts out with vetiver (love it) and bergamot, and dries down smooth. The honey isn't too sweet, just enough to be slightly evident. Delicious, manly, and for many occasions and personalities.
First sniff - depth and strong. At the end, that two "definitions" are true. Usually citruses in such perfumes come out, but I didn't smell it now...it's instantly woody and deep. First perfume to compare with it dropped on my mind, and that was Burberry London, I thought that here is also cinnamon, but after the 5min, at the end of opening the same line as the London disappears. Second one to compare in my head was Bvlgari Soir. I thought that Man is a intense version of it, woodier, darker. At the end, Man stays alone as Bvlgari Man. It's long losting, but it's not a screamer..it stays close to the scin. Alberto made a fragrance for men that is very intriguing to wear it during the day. It looks like a "night version" of a perfume. It has deepness, like it has spices but it hasn't, especially pepper...the base is not so soft as it should be because of honey, ambra and musk. Base is also prickly as the whole composition..it has something that outlet the composition (like the patchouly in most of the scents). It's not powdery and creamy, it's simply menly and interesting. I find it really nice for cold weather use...Bvlgari doesn't make extravagant fragrances, maybe only jewels :) but it has that classy smell that is nice, steady, peaceful, woody till the end...
For a man who like elegance, and it will open a passanger door to a girl when entering a car... ;) I want it!
this smells like Narciso Rodriguez ..very green smell..but narciso is alot greener smell, while this one is lighter version...i really love the opening...it smells like rainforest while its raining...longevity is good...6 7 hours...another great scent from bvlgari
Got a sample of this today. All I can say is wonderful!!!!!! Clean,light,fresh and classy a good choice. But I personally perfer Bleu De Chanel.
its a very great perfume its masculine and clasic perfume from bvlgari home
Tested this yesterday and received a sample vial which, by the way, is nearly half-gone after reapplying this morning...
After listening to the interview with Alberto Morillas, I was very excited to try it, and despite the apathy of my best girl at my favorite counter, I LOVE IT!!
This is not what I would call a citrus scent; although, the bergamot adds to the overall green aura it possesses-as do the lush violet leaves, and the lotus lends a soft watery nuance that keeps it fresh but not "aquatic". The woody heart is well-blended and the vetiver is dry and clean. The drydown for me is really nice: the kiss of honey, alongside the ambery musk and rich benzoin, makes it smooth and elegant without the usually heavy aromatic air associated with these oriental notes. The patchouli here is barely discernable but gives it an earthy feel, and adds to the woody heart notes. This is very masculine and modern, with great longevity and decent projection. It does not scream MAN, but when you catch a whiff of it...there is no doubt!
Sillage: good
Longevity: excellent
Overall: 4.75/5
This is a dry, green-woody very modern scent that may be too "light" for some, but I really dig it. It is unlike anything in the other Bulgari men's scents (the only one I do not have is the Exteme)and it is bound to be popular. I feel it would be good for anytime of year and just about any purpose (school, work, date, going out...). Despite its overall ethereal quality it lasts most of the day and is very sexy...
Like other said, totally agree that this is going to be a classic for Bvlgari house! High quality juice that blend many unique scent all in one that will boost your masculinity in hours!
Classic as the bottle shown, the first notes is dusty fresh citrus that lift your mood up, minutes later, it turned to second notes that evolve a total of at least 3 scents substantially! It turn from light floral to light woody then to sandalwood and heavier woody notes! It was like bringing you up to hike up that takes at least 5 hours before it slowly mellow to last notes, a moderate strength of musky amber with some hints of light woody notes. Overall it last at least 7 hours on me. Superb longevity!
Truly unique in the way it blend many different special scent all in one, while allowing each of it to project one by one clearly! Give it a try and you will know how it was the feeling of being a Bvlgari MAN.
I will give 9/10 for this. A true classic for every modern men. The fragrance's simplistic bottle design pair with the sophisticated juice match it's name: Bvlgari MAN.
This is great scent very luminous and the use cypriol give the scent a rich smokey papyrus wood feeling.
I have to agree the bottle is just way too much over done. Its heavy as hell with this pearl like sheen to the glass accented with a black top with big bold BVLGARI and inlaid cap again with BVLGARI. Way too much.
In my humble opinion, so far this is the top male fragrance of 2010. Compared to the sheer and utter disappointment of the overhyped Chanel Bleu & Davidoff Champion masculine releases this year, this absolute stunner has rather quietly (in comparison) snuck in under the radar.
This really has the feeling of opulence in a bottle. The honey and musk combination is superb, but the honey never feels gourmand in the slightest. I didn’t find it to be too spicy or woody, just a very sophisticated & semi-sweet gentle oriental.
For a Bvlgari scent the sillage & longevity seem above average. Which is to say that compared to non Bvlgari scents, they’re probably about average. I wore this to my 25 year high school reunion the other night and nearly 3 hours in I was still being asked what that beautiful smell was? I couldn’t really detect it much after 4 or 5 hours, but it was a pretty big party, so I’ll need to test again in a more usual capacity.
Now if I can just get my hands on some balm &/or body wash, I think I may have found my new signature scent. By the way, I love the bottle! I’ve got the large one and it certainly feels and looks expensive.
Tried it today because I am a fan of Bvlgari scents. Was very close to purchasing and I'm pleased to say I picked up a sample instead.
I've never experienced this kind of reaction myself with any fragrance (ever), but within seconds it became almost painful after applying one small spritz.
It attacked my senses, went shredding through my sinuses and immediately targeted a sharp spot behind my eyes. I waited for this to dissipate, but what I can only describe as a piercing or pinching persisted as I was unrelentingly "smothered" by an avalanche of fresh wood shavings as slight nausea set in.
Sadly in this case, projection and longevity is very, very impressive. I love the house and have respect for this perfumer, however will do my best to avoid this scent.
very spicy with a sort of latin feel,a good fragrance just not for me
I got to try Man today and I know I liked it but I don't remember it much at all. I know it was really really nice but I just don't remember it. LOL! I have to test it more to see if I need to get me a bottle. Having never been a fan of the Bvlgari line for men I have to say that this is probably the best from them so far. The bottle is so so nice as well! I want it just for the bottle! LOL! I'll report back when I test it again. I hope everyone else gets to try it soon! : )
i got to test it today and its a lovely uplifting scent.the base notes of cashmere wood and amber cannot stop soothing my smell senses.i realy smell great
Notes are great! I'm just wondering how the compositon will be, especially it's from my favourite nose Alberto Morillas :)
Just can't wait!!!
Oh very interesting a new Bvlgari.
Cant wait to test this.
As i love Bvlgari perfumes
and made by one of the best perfumers out there. :)
this are gonna be a very different, sofisticaded and sensdual fragrance for man...... I really want to try this...
