LES PARFUMS

BVLGARI BLV BLV Eau de Parfum II is inspired by a modern vision of the colour blue that suggests the extremely natural character of the fragrance and at the same time reveals its intense, sophisticated side.  The name -BLV Eau de Parfum II – conveys both conceptual and formal richness, capturing the evocative power of the Bulgari brand and becoming an ideal anagram of the essence of the contemporary jeweller. Classification: This is a positive, reassuring fragrance, able to bring opposites together: freshness and naturalness on the one side, and a highly intense perfuming effect on the other. Characteristics: This creation is based on essential things, on the foundation stones of perfumery: amber, iris, musks, wood, patchouli flowers, violets. Top note: Head notes of luminous violet delicately blended with subtle, airy hints of star anise and liquorice and brightened by fresh, light, frosty mandarin. Middle note: The heart notes conceal an unexpected soul - iris absolute, an exclusive floral touch – blended with a warm, woody base enhanced by Haitian vetiver, which gives BLV Eau de Parfum II an elegant exotic touch. Before evolving into the base notes, the fragrance is enriched with intense patchouli flower, an original diversion that accompanies the final moments of the essence. Base note: An unusual sensual accord of three amber notes, where the sensuous caress of benzoin blends with the suggestive intensity of ambergris and the cistus flower and ends with the velvety tones of musk, the last irresistible sensation. CREED LOVE IN WHITE Worn and enjoyed by not one, but two, First Ladies of the United States, Love In White evokes America’s most visible and influential women. It is the first CREED fragrance ever to debut in the USA, as opposed to France. On the night of November 16, 2005, the exterior lights of the Empire State Building were pure white in honor of the debut of Love In White. The fragrance takes its name from Mr. CREED’s love of sailing. Classification: Floral / Oriental Characteristics: Hand-made with ingredients of rare quality from five continents. A worldly mix of blossoms in the hands of Mr. CREED becomes a fragrance at once exclusive and welcoming. Top note: Orange zest from southern Spain. Middle notes: Young iridescent rice husk from Tonkin in the south Asian seas; iris from Egypt; white jasmine from the Italian coast; daffodils from the French Riviera ; magnolia from the mountains of Guatemala; and Bulgarian rose. Base notes: Vanilla from the island of Java; ambergris from Calabria; sandalwood from Mysore, India. Comparatives: Sublime Vanille, Vanisia, Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie, Acqua Fiorentina CREED SUBLIME VANILLE The first in a new CREED collection called Royal Exclusives, CREED Sublime Vanille is an investment-quality fragrance and object of art from master perfumer Olivier CREED and his son, Erwin. The new collection is one of the most ambitious projects in CREED’s 249 years, a statement to the aesthetic world about the legacy, quality and collectability of fragrance as art. Classification: Exotic vanillas hand blended with light citrus and rare musk Characteristics: Rich with fine vanilla, a most beloved fragrance element across all times, places and cultures: a truly enduring ingredient. The packaging honors perfumery’s finest traditions, still practiced by CREED: hand-blown Pochet glass bottle etched with CREED’s crest, multi-faceted cut glass stopper that turns bottle into sculpture and gold-and-fabric pump for releasing scent. Top note: Vanilla from climbing orchids of Tahiti, heady Bourbon vanilla of South America. Middle note: Luscious Tonka bean for profound depth. Base note: A touch of bergamot orange for a citrus accent with a bracing dab of Calabrian lemon. Rare musk. Comparatives: Vanisia, Love In White, Original Santal
