If only you were a little stronger, you'd be my God among fragrances!
It was almost exactly 20 years ago when my girlfriend gave me this fragrance for my birthday. The relationship with her did not last very long, but "Bulgari pour Homme" I kept forever in my olfactory memory. I'm still friends with the young woman from that time on Facebook today. And even though I forgot a lot of that time: There is a link in my brain that says "Chantal" (name changed by the editors, haha) and BPH belong together for me to this day!
That is why I am by no means biased, because it is more the scent than the woman that reminds me of the past. To the beginnings of how I began to constantly sniff at my arm and neck. At that time I didn't know the brand Bulgari yet, I probably wore HUGO or PHOTO (I don't know that exactly anymore) ... Anyway, after a long time I ordered BPH again (it's even comparatively cheap in the meantime) and again I sniff around at myself to catch something I unfortunately don't know what it is. Has also quite a lot of ingredients the good (!) BPH.
I strongly guess musk and floral notes, which might distinguish the fragrance from the "Extrème" variant. Of course I had bought this version once, but it just couldn't get close to the scent construct that is so anchored in my head. Although also smelling very good, somehow the decisive element was missing for me - or the corresponding concentration of it. Yes, it lasted longer, but I couldn't really sniff the one that mattered to me.
This brings us to the only "accusation" I can make against BPH: The performance was and is in need of improvement, and I am not even a friend of an exorbitant Sillage. One must sniff out the decisive essence of BPH after maximum 2-3 hours like a truffle pig, in order to notice it still somewhat clearly. That's how I feel, anyway - today and then. Maybe this is what makes this EDT so attractive!?
Well, maybe I am biased after all!? But not because of an elapsed love, but because of a fragrance in which I could have bathed two decades ago. So to all of you: Stay nice and subjective! ;-)
