Pour Homme

This stuff is just beautiful and it smells the way Pure Leaf Unsweetened Tea tastes (my absolute favorite) — but if you added ginger and it does this in the best possible way. I am simply in love with this scent! A while back I had the Bvlgari PH Extreme flanker and it was just okay to me (came across dated and bitter), but this exceeds that one by far in my opinion and is my favorite in the line. This is a sophisticated and gentlemanly scent which already feels like a modern masterpiece and has garnered very little attention since its release. A criminally underrated release in today’s so-called fragrance community. This has all-season signature scent written all over it. I haven’t seen this mentioned yet but the ginger in this smells identical to the ginger used in Tygar, in fact I’m smelling it as I type this out and the similarity is absolutely undeniable. So far it wears fairly light as expected but it seems to last pretty well without fading. The wafts and sillage I’ve been getting off my skin with this are just absolutely delightful. If you like tea and ginger fragrances, don’t hesitate to check this one out!

It opens a bit sharp and zesty, the ginger is quite loud for the first few minutes. then come the tea accords, which I find the most pleasing and long lasting out of the tea fragrances I had the luck of smelling and trying on myself so far! I would describe it as a lemony/gingery tea with some bitterness to it, but not as much bitterness as in Wulong Cha which is quite photorealistic, but unfortunately the tea in that doesnt last long. the tea accords in Bulgari pour Homme EDP last way longer, I can still get wiffs of the tea after 3-4 hours. The Musk and Guaic Wood become stronger as it dries down. I would describe it as damp woods with an animalistic touch to it, but in a good way!

Love both the EDT and EDP, but I prefer the EDT slightly more since it's a bit more unique and has an airiness about it (the violet elevates it). EDP lasts longer, and overall has better performance. The EDP is also closer in profile to LV imagination, so if you are looking for something that matches that profile (and overall superior IMO), the EDP is a great pick up. This does not smell like Wulong Cha (which I own) at all, so I'm not sure why it's ranked so high in "reminds me of". This is a citrus and tea based fragrance, with some musk and slight woods. Great fragrance and owning EDP and EDT isn't going to be necessarily redundant.

I prefer the original EDT. EDP opens with green, herbal feel, it has a green sharpness where the original is softer, calmer and little creamier with citrus opening. EDP maintains the dna of the original but there is a strong ambroxan like chemical in the background that ruins what made the previous versions magical. Earlier versions dry down to soft somewhat sweet and sophisticated charm where the EDP drys down to sharp semi sweet generic scent you encounter with many designers out today. It lasts longer compared to EDT but that’s because of the ambroxan, they should have tone down the ambroxan and kept a softer white musk instead.

Smelled this epd over several travels. I would sniff it at duty free every time I got. Totally addicting. Got hooked to it and finally bought a full bottle when I got home. This is a gentleman's scent. For the confident man that doesn't need reassurance. You know you smell good when you're wearing it. It has an uplifting scent like fresh morning due with ginger and sparkling slightly sweet green tea if that makes sense. Not a room filler (just spray more if you want more spillage) but it's not meant to be. Very happy with this scent! My new favorite.
