The younger sister - coming of age
BV, in my eyes, is a Power House. They have some really great fragrances and one of them is even ranked as no. 69 in the Top 100 Most Popular Scents for Women. That is quite an achievement for a rather small Italian company compared to mega brands as Givenchy, Dior, Guerlain and Parfum de Marlys.
I have been curious about this brand since my first encounter with Eau Légère back in the early 10s. Being fond of leather smelling fragrances - I love Chanel’s Cuir de Russie, particularly the parfum - I became so happy when I first smelled the dry and unique BVEL. What a love affair! This scent will always be a true favourite and eye opener to me.
After this, there was no turning back. I started looking for BV fragrances but found none. BV is not well represented in my country, so I have bought all four I have from other people.
Which is why Eau Sensuelle joined my collection just a few months ago. My BV journey started out with Eau Légère, then BV signature, then Illusione and finally Eau Sensuelle. The latter is less interesting compared to the other three. She is also the lowest rated of the four - lowest rated still means highly rated (7.7). If I stay in the siblings’ term she is cute, a bit young and playful. She has not yet met the worries of the adult world and she is at the age right between wearing lipstick and playing with dolls. On the brim of adulthood.
Luckily, there is the leather note at the end. Consider it the growing awareness of what is about to come over the next few years. Growing responsibilities, a blooming sexuality and a more complex look at the world. She could be Jenny in “An education” or Cassandra in “I capture the Castle”. A soon-to-become woman.
BV changed my view on unisex fragrances. Before BV unisex was CK One, which I absolutely… do not like. To my nose it is just awful. BV made me think of unisex in a different and positive way.
Year 2, 9/365
