Le Gemme - Calaluna Bvlgari 2014

Generously sprayed, the Russian-influenced, beautiful saleswoman raves about the sensual moonstone-colored elements of the bottle, which is truly a successful innovation, especially the black-gold, so elegant, with the beautifully chosen, rich colors.

The scent itself starts spicy-powdery (yes, that works), reminiscent of milk foam on a chai, Christmas, white powdered snow. The most beautiful heliotrope I have ever smelled is in the foreground, combined with the cardamom, which seduces like a chai tea, touches me, enchants me. It reminds a bit of cinnamon, very wintry, elegant, reminiscent of a white fur coat and twilight in winter, with snow-covered fir trees in a festive mood.

The top note almost tempted me to make a purchase, recklessly, without waiting for the transition to the heart and base notes; only the fact that there were only 100ml bottles available for CHF 350, with no smaller sizes available, held me back.

In hindsight, despite the uniqueness of the scent, I am not unhappy about it; the fragrance is very good, but very spicy, increasingly so, that it becomes a bit too much for me (hence only 90 instead of 100).

The scent then unfolds some ambrette, becoming lighter and softer and at the same time sensual, woody. Interesting.

A very special innovation in the fragrance world, something not smelled before, and truly recommended to give it a try!

And according to the saleswoman, once again many natural products have been incorporated. Perhaps that's why the proud price?
