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 powdery-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.

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.

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.
