Bvlgari BLV Notte is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Alberto Morillas. BLV Notte opens with Anise, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Vodka, Black Locust, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Bvlgari's BLV Notte carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This discontinued gem divides opinion sharply from 'masterpiece' to 'baby powder and baby wipes'. Many mourn its loss and praise its daring originality, while others find its unique blend, particularly the vodka and chocolate, to be off-putting or lacking in projection.

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

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate projection and unique character make it suitable for dates and formal evening wear, lending an air of sophistication without shouting. While some find it versatile enough for the office with light application, its boozy and dark notes might be too distinctive for a conservative environment, and its warmth limits its use in sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

BLV Notte opens with a surprising splash of cool vodka and piquant ginger, quickly followed by a soft, powdery iris that gives it a luxurious, almost melancholic, depth. As it settles, hints of dark chocolate emerge, weaving through the lingering warmth of amber, sandalwood, and a subtle incense, creating a sensual and mysterious aura. It's a complex dance of fresh spice, boozy indulgence, and soft, enveloping powder.
