Spring luxury fragrance
J ai découvert ce parfum a l aéroport d istanbul en 2022.

Attiré par la bouteille magnifique et le bleu ma couleur favorite .

Tres fleuri il me rappelle boucheron iris de syracuse ,parfait pour le printemps,un bon parfum mais pas le meilleur de la gamme bvlgari la gemme.

Je préfère de loin tygar ,try it and u will see,don t make a blind buy with this one.

About knowledge and the universe
I would like to take you on a journey today. A journey to the source, to nothingness, to pure darkness. Into a world where we realize that we know nothing. That we are only a very small part of something incomprehensibly big.

I have always found the exploration of the universe very exciting. As a young child, I often looked up at the night sky and counted the stars. At night, it was quiet and dark. Somehow I always liked that. Even today, I like to go for another walk at night, sort out my thoughts and enjoy peace and quiet. The older I got, the more intensely the big questions of existence occupied me. Where do we come from? What is the meaning of our existence? What else is there to discover in this infinite, black space? Numerous films further shaped my interest. Classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey come to mind. A breathtaking film that was way ahead of its time. However, at my age at the time, I couldn't really understand many things. I do today, though. However, I will never forget the premiere of the movie "Interstellar", which I was allowed to enjoy in the cinema as a teenager. This film has shaped me like hardly any other. Never before have I been taken visually and emotionally on such a breathtaking journey into the universe.

(At this point, a quick recommendation to anyone who has never seen the film. Well worth it!)

With this little excursion, I want to set you thematically on the journey Gyan took me on. "Gyan, [is] a Sanskrit word meaning "divine wisdom"," according to the Bvlgari website. I think this word actually describes the fragrance character perfectly. The fragrance is dark, magical, jet black, yet transparent, calm and appealing. It doesn't play with fireworks of notes, but is aware of its simplicity. "In simplicity lies beauty", according to an ancient proverb. And that applies exactly here.

I can't even describe exactly what I smell. This is definitely not a revelation of natural fragrances or expensive and exotic ingredients. But the scent is so coherent, introspective and balanced that I couldn't care less. All three of the aforementioned scents are perceptible, but yet it's so much more. It starts off very fresh, kind of metallic. The base reminds me of the kindred Tygar. But Gyan seems much more interesting with its dark, slightly smoky and floral aspects. The scent is airy - floating even - but always present. The bottle is thematically very appropriate, reminiscent of a space artifact with its stature and color. Deep black color with blue gemstone. Hardly any other fragrance manages to bridge the gap between interesting DNA and extremely pleasing basic theme like Gyan. An absolute nose flatterer.

If Cooper in Interstellar had worn a fragrance in the scene when he travels through the black hole, there are few more fitting than Gyan.

Signature Scent Worthy
When worn, Gyan is a sexy cloud of resinous smoky patchouli with a sweet jasmine sambac radiating from the center. The patchouli is not that "hippie smelling" patchouli, this is a rich and refined patchouli.

Gyan is a smooth non-cloying fragrance (unless you really over do it) that can be worn anywhere - Black tie events, office, out with friends, or on a date with that special someone. Gyan gets a lot of unsolicited compliments and smells fantastic.

Gyan projects around 2 meters (6ft) and leaves a nice smoky sweet jasmine trail of fragrance in your wake.

As far as I am concerned, this is a year-round fragrance. Hot or cold weather, you will always smell great.

Gender-wise Gyan would smell great on men and women 25+. Younger people that prefer fresh scents will probably not appreciate this as much.

Gyan as well as the rest of the Le Gemme collection can only be purchased at a Bvlgari boutique online or in one of their brick and mortar locations.

Yes the Le Gemme men's line is a little pricey ($310 for 100 ml) but honestly, you are also paying for presentation as well as the amazing juice. The box is very nicely padded. The sleek black bottle is topped with a blue gem. Each Le Gemme fragrance has its own gem color. I have tried each one and all are worth trying out.

Gyan is a solid 10/10

Gorgeous! Smoky patchouli that manages to stay in the background, with a sweet jasmine sambac that dominates the experience.

Initially briefly citric, a clean and soapy, gently smoky, spicy-floral Mid season fragrance, balanced by a warm earthy-woody base. Unisex!

This is good based on the compliments I received while wearing it, and like Blue De Chanel, I quickly became nose-blind to it.

Classy, but very mature leaning. Smells like the faint remnants of attar on a man. Pretty smooth and sweet, but it’s ultimately not for me.

This is very good, imagine LV’s ombre nomade without the oud and leather…that is EXACTLY what gyan smells like. Patchouli bomb.
