BLV Eau de Parfum II

BLV Eau de Parfum II, a feminine EDP from Bvlgari composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud and released in 2009, is a floral fragrance with strong woody and amber sides and lighter musky, leather and citrus touches.

Violet and mandarin give a soft, powdery, gently bright opening, and star anise and licorice a sweet, dark, slightly spicy note. The heart is cool and earthy: iris brings a refined, powdery elegance, while patchouli and vetiver add earthy, grassy woodiness. The base is soft and warm, with cotton flower giving a clean, fluffy note, tonka bean a creamy sweetness, and labdanum and benzoin a balsamic, ambery glow.

Most wearers find its longevity moderate, with a quarter calling it weak, and opinions on projection are split between intimate and moderate. It is voted mainly for spring and summer and worn largely by day. That suggests office days and daytime outings, for someone who likes soft, powdery violet-iris scents with a warm, ambery finish.
