Bvlgari Nylaia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Alberto Morillas. Nylaia opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Peach, and Hedione, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Iris, and Vanilla. Bvlgari's Nylaia carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Nylaia by Bvlgari is a divisive iris-forward scent that swings from sophisticated and regal to, for some, a touch of off-putting fruit. It's a high-end experience, but its subdued performance for the price point leaves many feeling underwhelmed.

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.

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
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Woody amber musk Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes from Iso E Super

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

Nylaia unfurls with a soft, peachy blush, quickly giving way to a prominent, refined iris heart. This isn't your average fluffy floral; it's a dry, almost woody iris, reminiscent of fine parchment. A warm, musky amber base provides depth and a subtle sweetness, underscored by creamy sandalwood and a hint of vanilla, creating a luxurious, powdery finish.
