Pour Homme
Bvlgari Pour Homme Eau de Toilette is the quiet classic in the house's men's range, the bottle that established tea as something Bvlgari does, and it has aged better than most of its contemporaries.
The opening is clean and slightly formal. Aldehydes give it a starched, soapy brightness, bergamot and tangerine add citrus without sharpness, and lavender brings a familiar herbal softness. None of it is trying to impress you in the first minute. Tea is the heart of the thing and the reason it still sells. It reads dry and tannic, more like leaves in a caddy than a hot cup, and carnation presses a dry, spiced warmth against it. Coriander adds a lemony herbal edge and black pepper keeps a little heat in the middle. Cedarwood and oakwood then take over, one sharp and dry, the other broader and a touch more rustic, with tonka bean adding a mild sweetness somewhere near warm pastry and amber smoothing the final hours into something soft.
At eau de toilette strength it is deliberately understated. Four to six hours, close to the skin for most of that, and no interest in being noticed from across a room. That makes it a genuine office fragrance and a good choice for men who want to smell groomed rather than scented, and it holds up in spring, autumn and mild winter weather.
The business began in Rome in 1884 as the jewellery shop of Sotirio Bulgari, a Greek silversmith, and became internationally known for coloured gemstone work, the Serpenti motif and its watches. Its growth into Europe and the United States came in the early 1970s, and the first Bvlgari fragrance followed in 1992, made at first as a gift for guests rather than for sale. LVMH owns the business.
