Bvlgari Black: Icon of 1998

Released in 1998, Bvlgari Black quickly gained cult status, redefining notions of unisex perfumery.

This bold release from the Italian jewelry house, whose perfumery is a brilliant continuation of the legend founded by Sotirio Bulgari in 1884, reflects the aesthetics of the late '90s—an era of urbanism and avant-garde.

In Russia, it is often referred to as "Bulgari Black," emphasizing its global recognizability.

As a unisex fragrance, it breaks gender stereotypes, offering it to be worn by all who appreciate complexity and character.

Belonging to the Oriental and Woody families, Bvlgari Black balances between warm and cool chords, creating a multifaceted image.

Positioning and Wearability

In eau de toilette concentration, this fragrance offers moderate longevity, ideal for daily use.

Its lightly perceptible trail makes it a delicate choice for the office or dates, without overwhelming others.

For optimal effect, it is recommended to use 4 or more sprays on the skin to allow the notes to fully develop, and to create an airy cloud—walk into the cloud on clothing.

Bvlgari Black is perfect for cool evenings or stylish urban outings, adding mystery and confidence to one's image.

The Creation of Annick Menardo

Master perfumer Annick Menardo, known for her innovative approaches, created this masterpiece by combining unexpected notes.

Her ability to balance between light and shadow is embodied in Bvlgari Black, which has become a benchmark for many subsequent releases.

This fragrance strengthened Bvlgari's reputation as a brand capable of transcending jewelry art, offering perfumery works that speak the language of modernity.

Each offers a unique perspective on combinations inspired by the original.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
