Silver black tea for dewy mornings - and more
In contrast to the eau de toilette, which has been on the market for many years, the perfume is less sporty, less fresh, but somewhat darker and more ambiguous. When you spray it on, the top note is immediately apparent: high-quality black tea, slightly bitter, with ginger, slightly sour. The first few seconds cleanse the nose, just as ginger neutralizes the taste between bites of sushi. This only lasts for a short time, however, and then the perfume becomes noticeably sweeter and softer, the musk manifests itself and the woody notes quickly appear. Despite the sweetness and the slightly dark heaviness, the fragrance is still fresh, but not in the citrusy sense. Rather, it is a silvery freshness, bright, watery and yet somehow warmly embedded. And so this creation has a character of its own that sets it apart from both in-house creations such as my much-loved Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc and popular tea fragrances from other houses such as Imagination. This fragrance here is more complex and has a more varied development.
After 1-2 hours of sweet-bitter tea notes with wood and contrasting harmonization through the musk, the fragrance undergoes another small transformation, the fine woody aspects increasingly recede into the background, but do not disappear completely, and a slightly fruity, perhaps even subtly animalic-eroticizing note pushes itself a little more to the front. The ambrette seeds, this fragrant chameleon made from hibiscus plants, pay their respects and blend perfectly into the fragrance, which is still clearly dominated by black tea. The fragrance then gradually fades in this form.
As with other Bulgari fragrances, you should not expect a sillage monster here. The projection is stronger than with the less concentrated eau de toilette, but the perfume is also - fortunately - a personal and individual fragrance and not a room filler. The longevity is decent. Well, and here I have to say a few words about the bottle: in this purist clarity, it's a hit.
All in all, a very nice fragrance for the in-between seasons and for waking up in white sheets in the morning, despite "pour homme" with unisex potential, also ideally suited after breakfast, for example for work and restaurants, and thanks to the ambrette seeds perhaps even for a particularly pleasurable arousal in the face of sunrise and glittering morning dew.
