Bvlgari pour Homme Eau de Parfum extends the Pour Homme eau de toilette into a stronger concentration, presented by Bulgari in 2024 and signed by Jacques Cavallier. The house sees it as a woody musk: an accord of Darjeeling tea and ginger at the top, an extract of Ceylon tea and guaiac wood in the middle of the formula, ambrette absolute and a musk accord at the base.
Darjeeling tea and ginger
The top combines a Darjeeling tea accord with ginger essence, which give the opening its spicy freshness. Luxe en France attributes citrus facets to ginger, which aligns with Wikiparfum, which places the fragrance in a citrus subfamily.
Ceylon tea and guaiac wood
The middle of the formula brings together an extract of Ceylon tea and guaiac wood essence. For both Luxe en France and Luxsure, these two raw materials anchor a woody, slightly smoky sillage.
Ambrette absolute and musk accord
The base rests on an absolute of ambrette seeds and a musk accord. It carries the woody musk signature that Bulgari attributes to the first version, and which the eau de parfum wants more intense.
What the house classifies, what Wikiparfum records
Bulgari classifies its eau de parfum among woody musks. Wikiparfum places it among the woody family, citrus subfamily, and records six raw materials: guaiac wood, musk, Darjeeling tea, ginger, ambrette seed and Ceylon tea. The two readings agree on the wood.
What the label declares
The label declares compounds that the announced accord does not mention: limonene and citral, with lemony odors, linalool, geraniol and citronellol, with floral and rosy facets, hydroxycitronellal and farnesol, associated with lily of the valley.
It also names two UV filters, butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane and ethylhexyl salicylate, and an antioxidant. These three ingredients do not contribute to the scent: they protect the fragrance from light and oxidation in the bottle.
