BLV

I can still remember the first day I purchased this in 2004 in the West Edmonton Mall. I was trying to do retail therapy after a broken engagement and was in Alberta t get away from everything. I was walking around with my cousin & her friend and of course it was a “let’s go to the perfume counter” suggestion where I discovered what became my signature scent. It’s the perfume I was wearing when I met my husband and to this day when I do wear it I still get compliments and those who know the scent will comment and say your wearing Bvlgari BLV. To say I’m deeply saddened that this true beauty has been discontinued, I thankfully still have 1 full 75ml and 1/2 of another one that the sprayer broke off from. If hindsight were foresight though I would’ve bought several more to store. I really wish Bvlgari would bring this one back in all its original glory (no reformulations). Truly unique scent that still, more than 20 years later you can never tire of.

Another true masterpiece by this perfumer, who also created Lanvin Oxygene, I wouldn‘t say they smell similar but they have similar vibes. Bulgari Blv was sexy but clean, modern but warm, elegant but inviting. It was a fragrance way ahead of its time. Remarkable, hard to believe that its discontinued, could be worn by everyone regardless of gender. It was a statement piece.

I’ll never get over this perfume. A beautiful, soft, powdery scent that stayed with me for at least five years and became my signature fragrance. I still hope it will one day return to perfume shelves — I’ve never found anything similar again, even though I’ve actively searched.

This is magnificent! One of the best perfumes that i have ever smelled! Fresh, airy, delicate but spicy and playful too. A very nice combination of scents that captivates even the most difficult noses. A perfume ideal for all women without age limits and i think that ginger and bergamot is this that gives the playful vibe. One of the best florals that i ever smelled!

This was my signature fragrance back in 2000/01. I was a sexy, young, gay, androgynous pretty guy - wore lots of Gucci and Prada - and also baggy skater jeans, hoodies and chunky trainers - and rocked this beautiful spicy, warm, fresh fragrance. I still think about it. It’s criminal there is not a close dupe of this - or that Bvlgari has not thought about revisiting it now with the whole Y2K renaissance.

BLV is such a beautiful, warm and spicy perfume. I had no idea ginger can smell so good. Yummy! WOW! I bought so many bottles in different sizes since it was launched in 2000. I'd say it's more for daytime. It is 'quietly' sexy and surprisingly very feminine. I just bought a brand new bottle on ebay.....it's very expensive as it's been discontinued.....very sad. J'adore!

Immensely nostalgic scent for me, I didn't buy it at the time since it was too popular, half the girls smelled like the bright and recognizable Blu because samples were distributed liberally. I hunted some down on eBay years later once my samples ran out, what I've got left still smells just as good. It doesn't make any sense to me that they'd discontinue an iconic modern scent like this, and frankly I'm hoping for a re-release (no reimaginations! just sell the same thing!) with the Y2K nostalgia boom.

I just recently got this and oh boy this is ethereal. I have all the BLV flankers and this is still the best. The Notte ones have that galanga vodka combo which is not for everyone. Its so unisex anyone can rock it. Flax and bergamot notes are the main stars for me. How I wish they put this back on sale.

I've been searching for years for something that smells like BLV and have never had any luck, until now! There is a dupe by a company called Dupeon and the perfume is called BVL301. Not expensive for a tester or an actual bottle (UK company but may ship internationally) and I have it on now. Although it has all the same notes, and I've not smelt the perfume for years, I'd definitely say it was a very good match.

Tell me why it was withdrawn from the market! It's really rare for so many people to still have this fragrance in their noses and minds. It's simply unforgettable! A truly powdery fragrance, mysterious and dark, a bit oriental I would say, but at the same time so energetic. I got its dupe.. but..if only we had the power to bring the authentic one back! The dupe tends to release more ginger and lemon aroma - the original one was more powdery with flower effect. Does anyone have the ingredients listed on BLV box? ;) inspiration in words: "A mysterious being moves on the steps of a simple, historic but rich palace. Her gaze is fleeting, but it pierces your soul. She gives you oxygen, but she weighs you down, like smoke. She is beautiful and appears to be a descendant of the royal family, but she ran away and made her life in the underworld. One breath and you have seen what she saw and experienced over the centuries".

I have a tester bottle 4 sale . Nib .US only

I still have some of this extraordinary scent left, but it is going low..I am trying to save what is left and I almost forgot how lovely this is..I have BLV Notte too, which I also love, but not as much as this one. I blind bought this years ago, back when it still was available and wore it almost every day. I am planning to hunt down a back up if there still is any left out there. Might make a dent on my purse though..Does anybody know if there is a dupe for this.?

This was one of the best things that ever happened in designer fragrance class.

Unusual from the scent to the bottle, this is a real find. I keep smelling my wrist, trying to figure out the notes. Blv isn't a powerful, know you out scent, but it is very pretty. I like it a lot.

Unforgettable!!!!!!!! V

I dont get why Bvlgari discontinued it. Its a wonderful perfume for me. Another one from Bvlgari too, Mon Jasmin Noir.

Bvlgari: I wore this around 2000, followed by Absolute and Notte. Here I am, 23 years later, just after midnight, salty and limerant. Honestly, the Omnia line could never. You have the power to unbreak my heart. Please consider it.

Absolutely gorgeous, unusual scent that doesn't smell dated. I typically don't like powdery, but this one is different - it's like powder mixed with lemon lollipop dust. Perfect for work, but I also see it as a wedding scent.

BVL por homme in the same bottle with a silver top is the same. I wore BVL For Women when it was released. Its a great office work scent. After shower fragrance. Do you remember Jean Nate. This is the bougie rich older sister that lives in Malibu and you are meeting for a dinner at sunset. Breezy fresh & warm powdery woody dry down like the sunset. When I originally purchased in Paris I was immediately drawn to it because I worked with a woman who bathed in Angel as I think these frags came out around the same time. So this frag is kinda the opposite.

This smells like a costly perfume it smells clean, soft and fresh with a little hint of possibly powder? This is the best perfume I ever had, is too costly tho. It last long It smells costly It's costly It smells clean and fresh

There are many fantastic fragrances that I love, enjoy and can’t live without, but there are only a few that I admire wholeheartedly. Bvlgari BLV pour femme is one of my signature favourites. I encountered it seventeen years ago as a teenager with a poor command of aromatics. My aunt was offered it as a gift during her business trip. I can recall my first impression after so many years. This was devastatingly amazing to me as a young boy. I couldn’t gather my thoughts and stay composed. This enigmatic potion was hidden in a cornflower bottle. The bottle, the box, as well as their colour, heralded the sophistication and elegance this scent is famous for. I sniffed it each and every time I visited my aunt. From time to time I stole a drop of it, which resulted in a complete disaster because I couldn’t hide this secret. I’ve heard it is no longer produced. Lucky me, now that I am adult I have stocked up on this perfume - 4 x 75ml bottles :) - in case it disappears forever from the market like the other scents I used to enjoy and miss a lot. It must stay with me till the end of my days. The longer, the better :) This is another situation in which an aromatic piece of art is taken away from us and nothing interesting is offered to replace it. It is so sad. Respect to His Excellency - Mr Alberto Morillas. If I were a king, or at least a prince, I would definitely choose it for the greatest royal ceremonies. It’s heavy, vivid, unique, mysterious and long-lasting. It’s unisex from the very beginning till the very end. Ginger, wisteria and vanilla definitely dominate here. It’s really interesting that some of you describe it as fresh. It's one of the heaviest, most powdery and sweetest fragrances I have ever encountered. This only shows how different we are as people, which is fantastic. BLV leaves an incredible trail behind me. It lasts for 6 hours, which is really, really long when it comes to my skin. This is the love of my life. Wearing it, I feel dignified and mysterious like a secret agent. It requires the appropriate situation, attire and people to let it be appreciated, but it requires nothing to enjoy it.

I had a 1ml tester and a small version of the bottle but somehow the packaging was very different. The perfume was inside a plastic bottle encased in more plastic (definetely not a crystal bottle). I bought mine some years ago in a perfumery shop in Mallorca so it was the real deal but all I can say is that I am glad I finished the bottle because I just simply don't like it.

I bought this in 2005. I know the date because I stuck the receipt in the box with the bottle and put it in my perfume display case. I think the bottle is gorgeous, that deep blue with the slightly futuristic shape. But I never took a whiff of it. I also never took it out of the box, so I think the scent is accurate. And what a pretty, elegant scent it is. I smell the bergamot, ginger and the wisteria, but the base notes elude me. The dry down is fresh, spicy (ginger), powdery and slightly sweet (musk? vanilla?) on me. I'ts an elegant adult perfume without being dated.

All time classic powdery scent ! i m so sad this gem is discontinued .Bvlgari brand is so underrated !! I must try more from it ,the majority of its perfumes smell so elegant

Love love love love love An absolute old school banger. In that category you would have: - Versace the dreamer - Versace blue jeans - BLVGARI black - Rochas Man - Gucci Envy - JPG Le male (o.g. version) - Givenchy Pi These fragrances were legendary.

If this is discontinued please please bring it back!

I got this perfume in the bag of the vintage perfume (because of Gucci Envy). Bottle is amazing. I can not quite understand it, but current notes are: - it is fresh - it is unisex - it is "cold" - not cloying at all - it is clean - it is well blended - hard to split it to notes - it is ozonic I checked ebay - price is through the roof. For me it is an amazing fresh scent of "cold clean freshness", but paying AU$175 for 40 ml bottle - does not worth it. I will keep it in my collection as it is a proper one for collecting as a good sample of something unique.

One-dimensional scent that is 70% Cepacol and 30% soapy. Does not last long and has a limited trail. I can't think of a strong reason to own this fragrance apart from the beautiful bottle.

BLV is simultaneously fresh, clean, powdery, and floral. I get the ginger in the beginning and the softness must be attributed to the flax and locust. It skirts on the side of being soapy, but more of a men's shaving cream kind than laundry detergent. Definitely unisex. It evokes imagery of cozy flannels in a steamy bathroom. You can probably wear this in all seasons except summer. It needs a bit of chill, I think, to work best.

This is a solid citrus scent. I don't get as much that is clearly ginger or floral, but I get a ton of bergamot and crisp freshness. The longevity is good. This isn't quite "clear your sinuses fresh" it is just refreshing and nice. The longevity is impressive for something citrus dominate. Unfortunately I am reminded of the lemon scented air fresheners that stick to the wall that were popular in the 90s. I'm also getting a really lovely green wisteria note once it settles. I see how this is loved by so many of you but I don't think it will become a love of mine. I know this version is discontinued so if you are missing it feel free to message me about it.
