Ginger, as a main note in both Bvlgari BLV pour Femme and Bvlgari BLV pour Homme, is harmonized with the velvety and silkier note of tobacco blossom.
The fresh and spicy beginning with cardamom and sandalwood gradually evolves into the lovely blend of ginger, juniper and galanga.
The base is warm and woody due to ginkgo, grey teak and tobacco flower. It was created by Alberto Morillas in 2001.
