Bvlgari BLV II is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. BLV II opens with Mandarin, Violet, Star Anise, and Licorice, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cotton Flower, Musk, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Bvlgari's BLV II carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

BLV II is a confusing blend - a delicate, clean scent that utterly lacks presence, frustrating many who love its unique character but are let down by its vanishing act. A whisper in a world of shouts.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its clean, airy, and subtle nature makes it highly suitable for the office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, its often-criticised weak longevity and projection hold it back from being ideal for dates or formal events where more presence is typically desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a cool, almost aquatic violet and a subtle hint of star anise or licorice, giving it an intriguing, sheer spiciness. As it settles, iris adds a soft, powdery veil, while cotton flower and clean musk create a comfortable, airy feel. The drydown hints at warm amber and tonka, but remains largely ethereal and delicate throughout.
