Hi there Looking Glassers. I’m surprised we’ve not talked about this fragrance. The Bulgari Man pillar is one of the designer sets that is constantly better than expected. They are nicely produced, smell pretty good plus plus and won’t break the bank. The OG was and is stunning. I bought this 15ml Wood Neroli for Jin as stocking filler one year but it didn’t get a lot of wear. Now it’s in my wardrobe and I’ve been giving it a red hot go this summer. Hoping to thunk it TBH. I do love the smaller size, most of the flankers are available in 15ml and it is a perfect size to throw in the bag for gym, office, travel etc.
Bulgari Man Wood Neroli 2019
Featured accords include:
Top: Neroli, Bergamot
Heart: Orange Blossom, Virginia Cedar, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha
Base: Woody Notes,White Musk, Ambergris, Amber, Leather
I’m not sure why this was not a heavily used perfume in Jin’s wardrobe. I remember we got spritzed at the mall just before C19 lockdown and him being in raptures. Even talking about it a few days later. It went on a list. Grabbed the 15ml so he could use it as a gym/swim after shower spritz. Nope. Almost never got used.
Don’t let the MAN fool you. Wood Neroli is a bright, citrus forward wood with a tinge of salty sea breeze that can be worn by anyone. As the Northern Hemisphere heads into warmer temperatures this could be a very affordable refreshing rest button. That’s how I use it. Available for very decent prices at the discounters. It’s not free but compared the ridiculous aspirational pricing of many designer perfumes right now, not outrageous. A solid gift for the non perfiumista male (except Jin, obvs.). I bought mine at FragranceNet.
Sound good?

This sounds like a good citrusy wood with other notes to keep it interesting. Travel size is a plus! The only Bvlgari fragrance I have is Black, which is probably quite different with its rubbery vanilla.

Heya Nose Prose, yeah Bulgari Black was such a fabulous weirdo. Vanilla, rubber and smoke.
This is a much more mainstream choice, an easy, no think spritz.

This sounds right up my spring/summer street! However, like you & ambers (you are not alone there either) I have so many I can’t justify anymore. Not until I’ve divested myself of some.
I do love a travel size though.

HA! We are definitely tribe Alityke.
Just one more travel size, is often heard echoing through my brain.

I haven’t discovered anything particularly appealing in the Bvlgari line, Portia. Perhaps Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli might be worth a shot. The price is definitely right.

I think you like a salty hit in your fragrance Flaconneur. This might float your boat if I remember rightly. BUT if you don’t like the Bulgari Man line so far then it probably won’t. I’ll be interested to read if you ever do try it.

Even at such an affordable price on Fragrancenet.com, I’m hesitant to purchase just to try it out. I’m already struggling to reduce my current collection.

Yeah, I hear you.
