Blu Notte pour Homme (2004)
by Bulgari

BLV Notte is virtually the same as the original BLV for men. The only big difference is that it's a little less loud and powdery. The original BLV has a loud ginger note in the opening, while Notte may have it, it's much more subdued and blended with the other notes.

BLV Notte, is extremely smooth, and very hard to categorize. It's floral, aquatic, fresh, oriental, and a little spicy. Those who may not like powdery fragrance, but want something powdery in their arsenal, this is the way to go. A must try for any fragrance lover out there. A complex masterpiece, and one the biggest compliment getters I own.

Other notes: Longevity is above average. Projection is great for the first 2 hours, then it dies down.

Powdery aquariental-gourmand? I don't even know. I'm surprised I like this. Bulgari? Best-seller? Popular? But it's actually pretty good...
Maybe the world will end in 2012...

I prefer this one on the original Blv Pour Homme. It's a woody-spicy oriental that has the same backbone of the old brother (citrus-ginger-tobacco) but with the hint of chocolate and with a more stressed presence of spices. This one is more complex and dark than the original. The chocolate presence understates a bit the soapy-bath foam effect of the accord ginger-tobacco and exalts a touch of taste. This is a touch less powdery of BPH but the tasty elements cut down a bit the soapy-toilette effect. The galanga is still present and impresses a bit of structure. Not bad but not a masterpiece.

Very, very gentle fragrance.

Apart from the actual sweetnesss of this, on the whole I find little resemblance between this and the original Blv! Both have a 'ginger' aspect to their sweetness, but here in Blv Notte, the sweetness is ramped up a notch by the addition of a chocolate accord that seems completely out of place in a masculine Bvlgari fragrance.

I do like this but can only give it a sideways thumb. Longevity & sillage are only average (in line with most other masculine Bvlgarii scents).

Its resemblance with BLV pour homme was a bit disappointing, but I got rid of it and kept Blv Notte, which was the best thing I did in order to find out about the differences between these two fragrances. Blv is moch stronger and the chocolate (quite perceivable) makes a difference here. It's also quite a versatile fragrance. I wear it in the office and also for a night out. It's very unique I dare say and attracts a lot of compliment from everyone.
