The best Bvlgari perfume depends on the line you want: Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert for tea freshness, Le Gemme Tygar for high perfumery, Omnia Crystalline or Allegra Baciami for women, Bvlgari Man In Black for men. This guide covers 15 picks, starting from €5.90 per 2 ml.
- Bvlgari’s perfumes fall into four groups: the Eau Parfumée tea colognes, the Le Gemme high-perfumery line, the women’s Omnia and Allegra lines, and the Bvlgari Man elements.
- The picks follow those lines. They are not ranked against each other.
- Bvlgari was founded in Rome in 18841; its first fragrance, Thé Vert, dates from 19922.
Key figures
How to choose a Bvlgari perfume
- The line. Tea colognes for freshness, Le Gemme for deep woods, resins and oud, Omnia and Allegra for floral and gourmand women’s scents, Bvlgari Man for the elements of fire, wood and air.
- Concentration. Tygar comes as an eau de parfum and as an extrait. Bvlgari describes the extrait as “an exquisitely concentrated interpretation” of the original6.
- Budget per sample. A 2 ml vial runs from €5.90 to €12.95 across these 15 perfumes, an inexpensive way to test a perfume before committing to a full bottle.
- Test small first. Three in four decants Scento customers buy are 2 ml (76%, Oct 2025 – Sep 2026, Scento Fragrance Index).

Eau Parfumée: the tea colognes
Eau Parfumée began Bvlgari’s perfume story. It is sold as unisex, and WWD describes the first scent as “gender neutral”2. For more fresh options, see our guide to the best unisex perfumes and the green tea note page.
Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert by Bvlgari
Bvlgari calls it its very first fragrance for men and women3. It debuted in 1992 in a 350 ml flacon, designed as a gift for the house’s top high-jewellery clients4. Today’s house wording is a combination of green tea notes with a luminous floral accord of neroli petals, and bergamot essence with crisp, young tea leaves4. In 2025 Bvlgari reworked the line from eau de cologne into eau de toilette with real tea extract, and Thé Vert now contains 94 percent natural-origin ingredients2.
The New York Times described in 2008 how Ellena paired ionone and Hedione “to make tea, though not a particular kind of tea; it was, as Ellena is careful to explain, the concept of tea”7. It suits warm days and anyone who wants clean freshness rather than sweetness.

Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial by Bvlgari
Jacques Cavallier created it in 2017 as the olfactive signature of Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts, first made exclusively for hotel guests8. In 2026 it joined the Eau Parfumée collection8, and Modern Luxury reported its global launch on 21 April 20269. Sri Lanka black tea mingles with Italian citrus in what Bvlgari calls a Citrus Musk fragrance8. Amandine Pallez, Bvlgari’s Head of Perfume Creation & Heritage, called it “the freshest of the trio, the most Italian by its composition”, and the black tea is captured using supercritical CO₂ extraction9.
Choose it over Thé Vert if you prefer black tea and citrus to green tea and neroli.

Le Gemme: Bvlgari’s high perfumery
Bvlgari calls Le Gemme its “High Perfumery collection”, sold as a collection for women and men6. It began in 2016 with Le Gemme Men: six scents (Ambero, Garanat, Gyan, Malakeos, Onekh and Tygar) developed by perfumer Jacques Cavallier5. In 2016 Harrods carried three of the six, Garanat, Gyan and Onekh, at £215 each for 100 ml5.
Gyan, one of the six original 2016 names, and Azaran are also available at Scento at €9.95 per 2 ml, like Tygar, Orom, Kobraa, Falkar and Yasep.
Le Gemme Tygar by Bvlgari

Alberto Morillas of Firmenich developed it, with top notes of bamboo and nashi (a Japanese pear), a lotus flower heart and balsa wood at the base15. WWD reported in June 2005 that it would launch at 95 Nordstrom doors in July15.

Allegra Baciami by Bvlgari
The Allegra collection launched in January 2021 with five fragrances and five magnifying essences made for layering17. Jacques Cavallier composed the eaux de parfum17; he said the idea “is not about mixing two perfumes, or layering, it is about emphasizing a note in a fragrance you love”18. Bvlgari calls Baciami a captivating floral, ambery fragrance with gardenia at its heart, embraced by a tempting vanilla19. The name means “kiss me”, and it arrived in January 202220.

Bvlgari Man In Black by Bvlgari
Bvlgari lays bare “the magnetism of tuberose—a white flower traditionally used in female fragrances”23. The pyramid runs from a vibrant spice accord and ambery rum, to tuberose absolute and a leather accord, to benzoin of Siam absolute and guaiac wood essence23. Now Smell This reported the July 2014 launch as a scent inspired by the myth of Vulcan and a flanker to 2010’s Bvlgari Man24. It is the warmest of the three: an evening and winter scent.

Your questions, answered
- What is the best Bvlgari perfume?
- It depends on the line. For the house's history, Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert is Bvlgari's first fragrance, from 1992, according to WWD. For high perfumery, Le Gemme Tygar is built on grapefruit, wood and Ambrox, according to Now Smell This. Women may prefer Omnia Crystalline or Allegra Baciami, and men Bvlgari Man In Black. None of these is ranked above the others in this guide.
- What is the best Bvlgari perfume for men?
- Bvlgari Man In Black is the warm, spicy choice, with ambery rum, tuberose and leather, according to Bvlgari. Wood Essence is built on coriander, cypress and Virginia cedarwood, and Glacial Essence is a woody fougère of juniper, ginger and iris. All three are by Alberto Morillas and cost €6.90 per 2 ml at Scento. Le Gemme Tygar, launched in 2016 within Le Gemme Men, is another option.
- What is the best Bvlgari perfume for women?
- Omnia Crystalline is a bright floral woody scent by Alberto Morillas, with bamboo, nashi pear, lotus and balsa wood, according to WWD, which reported its launch in 2005. Allegra Baciami is the warmer option, a floral ambery blend of gardenia and vanilla, according to Bvlgari. At Scento a 2 ml vial costs €6.90 for Omnia Crystalline and €7.95 for Baciami.
- What was Bvlgari's first perfume?
- Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, created in 1992 with perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, according to WWD. It was first meant as an exclusive gift for the house's top high-jewellery clients and came in a 350 ml flacon, according to Bvlgari. Bvlgari's own catalogue calls it the house's very first fragrance for men and women.
- What is Bvlgari Le Gemme, and why does it cost more?
- Bvlgari calls Le Gemme its High Perfumery collection. Its pages list Yasep and Sahare at $460.00 for 125 ml in the US and Kobraa at £355 for 125 ml in the UK, according to Bvlgari. That is the cost of a full bottle. At Scento, a 2 ml vial of a Le Gemme eau de parfum such as Tygar costs €9.95, so you can test the scent first.
- Thé Vert or Thé Impérial?
- Thé Vert combines green tea, neroli petals and bergamot, according to Bvlgari. Thé Impérial pairs Sri Lanka black tea with Italian citrus, and Bvlgari's Amandine Pallez called it the freshest of the trio, according to Modern Luxury. Choose Thé Vert for green tea and florals, Thé Impérial for black tea and citrus. A 2 ml vial costs €5.90 and €7.95 respectively at Scento.
- How do you wear Allegra Magnifying Vanilla?
- On its own or over an Allegra eau de parfum. Bvlgari says the Allegra Magnifying Essences are beautiful worn alone and harmonise with any of the collection's Eaux de Parfum. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier told Town & Country that the idea is not about mixing two perfumes, but about emphasizing a note in a fragrance you love.
- Who owns Bvlgari?
- LVMH owns Bvlgari. After its tender offer, LVMH held 98.09% of Bulgari's share capital by 28 September 2011, according to LVMH's press release. The Guardian valued the deal at €3.7bn in March 2011. Bvlgari itself was founded in Rome in 1884, according to LVMH.
