Blv II

Bvlgari · 2009

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Bvlgari Blv II opens with star anise, violet and mandarin orange, then moves into iris and jasmine: a powdery, floral women's fragrance that has been discontinued. The opening is fresh and slightly spicy, with star anise, violet, mandarin orange and liquorice together. In the heart, iris, jasmine and lily of the valley add a soft floral touch, while vetiver and patchouli give it a woody footing. Benzoin and ambergris in the base sweeten it and leave a powdery finish. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and work are the most chosen settings. Most voters call it feminine. Lacoste Inspiration and Dorall Collection Gaze for Women have a close profile.

Sable Fauve

Yves Rocher · 2019

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Yves Rocher Sable Fauve is a feminine scent that wraps a floral core in a sweet, gourmand and resinous warmth, and it suits fall and winter days best.
