Bvlgari Man Wood Nelori Eau De Parfum

Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli Eau de Parfum, launched in 2019 and crafted by the esteemed Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas, is a vibrant Woody Floral Musk fragrance for men. It’s part of the Bvlgari Man collection, which explores the connection between man and nature. Wood Neroli is specifically inspired by the power of the Mediterranean sun and the bitter orange tree, aiming to capture its full essence from roots to leaves and flowers.

Fragrance Profile (Notes):

• Top Notes: Neroli and Bergamot.⁴ This creates an immediate, sparkling, and slightly bitter citrus opening with the characteristic bright, green, and subtly floral scent of neroli.⁵
• Middle Notes: Orange Blossom, Virginia Cedar, and Cypriol Oil (Nagarmotha).⁶ The heart expands on the white floral theme with orange blossom, adding a honeyed, sweet floral nuance.⁷ Virginia Cedar introduces a clean, dry woodiness, while Cypriol Oil provides an earthy, slightly smoky, and leathery depth.⁸
• Base Notes: Leather, White Musk, Amber, Ambergris, and Woody Notes.⁹ The dry down is warm, sophisticated, and firmly grounded. The leather note adds a sleek, modern masculine edge, white musk provides a clean softness, and amber/ambergris contribute a warm, resinous, and subtly salty-animalic richness.¹⁰

Key Characteristics:

• Citrus & Woody with Floral Nuance: It’s a fresh, uplifting fragrance dominated by the bright and slightly bitter notes of neroli and bergamot, beautifully balanced by a warm, woody, and subtly leathery dry down.¹¹ The orange blossom adds a touch of elegant sweetness.
• Sophisticated Freshness: Unlike typical “freshies,” Wood Neroli offers a more mature and refined take on freshness, making it suitable for professional and upscale settings.
• Sunny and Uplifting: The composition evokes the feeling of a sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape, conveying vitality and positivity.¹²
• Good Performance: As an Eau de Parfum, it generally offers good longevity (often 6-8 hours) and moderate projection, providing a pleasant scent bubble without being overwhelming.¹³
• Versatile and Unique: It stands out in the crowded market of fresh fragrances due to its prominent neroli and woody combination, offering versatility across seasons.¹⁴

Usage:

• Occasions:
  • Excellent for daily wear, especially in professional and office environments where a clean, sophisticated, and non-offensive scent is preferred.¹⁵
  • Ideal for casual outings, daytime events, and smart-casual gatherings.¹⁶
  • Can be a great choice for spring and summer evenings when you want something fresh but with a bit more character than a typical aquatic.¹⁷
  • Suitable for situations where you want to project a refined, confident, and approachable image.
• Seasons:
  • Shines brightest in warmer weather: spring and summer, where its citrus and floral freshness truly blossoms.¹⁸
  • The underlying woody and amber notes give it enough warmth to be worn in mild autumn as well, or indoors year-round.
• Application:
  • Apply to pulse points such as the neck, wrists, and chest.
  • 3-5 sprays are usually effective for good longevity and projection, as it’s an Eau de Parfum.
