Bvlgari Le Gemme Empyr is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Le Gemme Empyr opens with Ginger, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Labdanum. Bvlgari's Le Gemme Empyr carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Empyr is a divisive, opinionated take on fresh ginger, with some calling it a masterpiece of modern masculinity and others detecting unsettling marine or metallic notes. Definitely one to sample before you buy.

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.

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

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 sharp, zesty burst of ginger, almost sparkling like ginger ale. This fresh, spicy kick then settles into a clean, woody heart before mellowing into a sensual base of creamy sandalwood and resinous labdanum. There's an underlying modern freshness throughout, hinting at mineralic or even aquatic facets.
