Bvlgari Bvlgari Pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Bvlgari Pour Homme opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Orange Blossom, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Guaiac Wood, Rosewood, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Bvlgari's Bvlgari Pour Homme carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a stone-cold classic, a truly elegant and subtle tea-focussed scent. Though the original formulation was stronger, modern batches suffer from poor performance, making it a skin scent for self-enjoyment rather than turning heads.

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.

About

Bvlgari Pour Homme opens with a crisp, airy embrace of aldehydes, bergamot, and a distinctive tea note, uplifted by a whisper of lavender and orange blossom. The heart introduces a sophisticated blend of iris and rosewood, spiced gently with pepper and cardamom, before settling into a clean, musky base of vetiver, oakmoss, and cedar. It's a fresh, woody, and aromatic composition that exudes understated grace.
