8 Best Bvlgari Colognes for Men

Man in Black Review

Fragrance aficionados consider Bvlgari Man in Black the Best Bvlgari cologne to date. Introduced in 2014 to celebrate the brand’s 130th anniversary, it was hailed as “bold and charismatic” and was “inspired by the myth of the birth of Vulcan, the god of the earth.”

The creator of this masterpiece was nose Alberto Morillas. He designed the fragrance to suit the contemporary man.

Man in Black cologne is an intense amber floral blend comprising amber, spices, leather, and woody notes.

A quick splash reveals an intriguing mix of natural rum and enchanting spices as the head notes, followed by a mid-layer featuring an intoxicating duo of iris and tuberose paired with rich leather. Meanwhile, at the base lies depth-infusing Tonka, benzoin, and Guaiac wood. Bvlgari Black is a heady fragrance that’s both mysterious and captivating. The cologne’s bold and sharp aura suits a charismatic, self-assured man who knows what he wants. It’s best worn in professional settings, on special date nights, or when you want to impress.

Bvlgari Man EDT Review

Composed by Morillas in 2010, this is the original scent in the Bvlgari Man line of fragrances. Touches of florals plus calming, balmy tones balance the intensely woody-musky composition.

Bvlgari Man is deceptively simple. Inspired by a natural elegance, it effortlessly captures masculinity while oozing intrinsic charm.

The fragrance unfurls to reveal fresh, clean, fruity, and somewhat feminine accords – bergamot, pear, lotus, and violet leaf. However, these work exceedingly well to tone down the musky, woody, manly, and vibrant core. A sweet finish wraps the energetic cologne in seductive warmth, further enhancing the refined blend.

Bvlgari Man offers moderate staying power and sillage, so you might need extra spritzes to ramp up longevity. Yet, the modern composition is striking, though in a subtle, non-obtrusive way. Its complex but artfully-blended notes arouse deep interest whenever it’s worn.

This is a classy, sophisticated, but inexpensive cologne. Wear it to work or in formal settings.

Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Review

Aqva Pour Homme Perfume, a marine-infused cologne that evokes the power of the ocean, was conceived in 2005 by Jacques Cavallier. It is deep, dark, and classy, with a refreshing vibe.

The beautiful Aqva Pour Homme kicks off with a fresh, slightly tart burst of petitgrain and citric accords underlain by salty seaweed and flagrant, sweet lavender from Santolina. A decidedly masculine foundation of mineral amber and woods anchors these notes, resulting in an aromatic, vibrant, and stimulating composition.

If you enjoy an active life, you will like Agva Pour Homme. While it’s marked by a soft sillage, the projection and longevity are excellent, and it attracts a lot of compliments. This ultra-fresh, clean male fragrance shines best in summer and is best worn for casual occasions.

The enduring perfume presents in a lovely, round flacon with a silver top. You can’t help but like it!

Bvlgari Man Extreme EDT Review

Alberto Morillas pushed the limits with this version of Bvlgari Man, designed for adventurous men desiring a new sensual experience. The cologne beckons you, the invitation sensual and irresistible.

Billed as super elegant, attractive, deep, and potent, Bvlgari Man Extreme comprises an exciting blend of bright and juicy citrusy accords teamed with zesty cactus on a woodsy base.

In Extreme EDT, a charismatic opening makes way for a floral-spicy mid-layer. White freesia mixes gently with Guatemalan cardamom and warm amber, while an elegant base brimming with Haitian vetiver, benzoin, and woody accents rounds out the intense fragrance.

Overall, the floral essences balance out the cologne’s intensity with a subtle whiff of sumptuous white freesia and soothing lavender, while cardamom notes accentuate the masculine appeal.

In terms of staying power, expect up to 8 hours of consistent output, making Extreme Man ideal for a full day at the office. It also fits in well in social and formal settings and can be worn all year round, with the summer season presenting the best experience.

Though somewhat pricey, Bvlgari Extreme EDT delivers excellent value.

Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli Review

Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli Eau de Parfum is a delicate and polished take on, you guessed it, Bvlgari Man EDT. A fragrance evoking nature, Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli boasts a clean, fresh aroma and an earthy, natural essence. It was conceived by Alberto Morillas in 2019.

The most notable thing about this potent scent is its woodsy drydown. It lends this summer/spring cologne a distinctive, traditional masculine aura. Still, neroli is the most prominent note.

As the fragrance opens, the top reveals wonderful, inoffensive neroli paired with bergamot, an artfully balanced duo of spicy and floral accords. Once these notes fade off, orange blossom, cedar, and Cypriol oil ease in ushering a sweet, resinous quality. Eventually, the dry, well-rounded ending comes with leather, musk, woods, and amber notes.

Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli is a classic masculine fragrance. Clean, dry, and seductive, it sports a heavy sillage and endures amazingly long. This cologne is excellent as a daily go-to. It works for the office too.

The EDP presents in a flacon with green and brown accents topped with a dull, brushed cap.

Bvlgari BLV Eau De Toilette Review

Bvlgari BLV Pour Homme is an interesting mix of contrasts. The harmonious blend pits ginger, the main note, against a silky smooth tobacco blossom. These unexpected elements mesh beautifully, creating a scent that wears incredibly well on the skin.

Morillas created this EDT in 2001. The cologne begins with fresh and spicy cardamom and sandalwood, then gradually transitions into a lovely trio comprising the key note, galanga, and juniper. A warm and woody base containing grey teak, tobacco flower, and green leaves wraps up this attractive fragrance.

Bvlgari BLV cologne suits most occasions. It’s neither too complex nor overpowering, meaning it will draw attention (compliments, too!) without standing out.

Performance-wise, the cologne delivers around 6 hours of solid wear on average. It projects subtly, which is perfect for a casual scent. Best of all, it’s not expensive. Thus, you can wear this classic fragrance to work every day.

Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir Review

This woody cologne boasts oriental notes and remarkable endurance. Be warned; it promises to transport you to an exotic destination.

Pour Homme Soir is rich, classy, exotic, and smells divine. The fresh, green aroma of Darjeeling tea mixed with citrusy bergamot assails your nostrils from the get-go. Meanwhile, papyrus and vera wood make their presence felt before the fragrance wraps up with a thick, sensual, musky-ambery base.

This is a long-lasting, masculine scent meant for night-time encounters though it can work for any special occasion/season. Designed for refined and charismatic individuals, its sensual aura will hypnotize your date and help you win her over.

Bvlgari Pour Homme EDT Review

Finally, we have Bvlgari Pour Homme Eau de Toilette as one of the best Bvlgari perfumes for him. This concoction was devised by a different perfumer, the talented Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, in 1996.

Bvlgari Pour Homme was among Bvlgari’s original fragrances. It’s no wonder that it’s Bvlgari’s signature scent and one with which most people identify the brand.

This Bvlgari men’s fragrance is a potent formulation. But while it’s lush, dignified, full-bodied, and downright masculine, the cologne is not in-your-face aggressive. On the contrary, Bvlgari 

Pour Homme sports a light and refreshing finish.

Jacques Cavallier started things off by combining fizzy citruses and inviting florals with sensual musks. The scent develops delightfully well. Upon spritzing, a lovely tea opening with aldehydes and earthy tones ushers in a spicy-floral core and, ultimately, a sweet, musky base. Simple, soothing, elegant, and unbelievably beautiful.

Like a fine wine, Bvlgari Pour Homme gets better with age. The timeless offering delivers a cool and delicate enhancement to your personality and is recommended for use in any situation or occasion.

Bvlgari Pour Homme is built for the man who wears elegance as an intrinsic part of his attire. Are you that man?
