Our Verdict

Aariz steps in as a modern alternative to the discontinued Bvlgari Man, addressing its weakness with better performance. While both share woody and musky profiles, Aariz leans into a more vibrant grapefruit and ginger opening, contrasting Bvlgari Man's cleaner, arguably more refined, woodiness. If you prioritize longevity and a noticeable presence with a modern twist, Aariz is the clear winner. However, if you seek a softer, more subtle, and uniquely clean woody fragrance, and are willing to hunt down a discontinued gem, Bvlgari Man might still be worth the effort.

Our Verdict - Bvlgari Man EDP
A quiet woody scent by Morillas: violet leaf and pear on top, vetiver and cashmere wood in the middle, honey and musk below. Neat, polished and close to the skin.

Our Verdict - Aariz EDP
Zesty, clean and uplifting. Grapefruit and bergamot lead, magnolia and jasmine bloom, and a powdery heliotrope heart rests on woods, amber and vanilla. Good for spring and summer days.
