I know this is an oldie but I had occasion to test it today. If it contains iris it is not the iris I have come to know and love from fragrances such as Prada's Infusions. It simply smells very floral to me and you're right - not wholly suitable for a man. Bump!

I think what you find inside that purple bottle is different from other purples...peppery/citrusy and all that. Mandragore.

I love Omnia & "very much like" Omnia Crystalline, and adore Black. And do think Femme is a great scent, although not me. All of them smell synthetic but not fresh in that way, I don't think. But I didn't hate the Blv for men, although I thought the Blv for women was pretty dull. But BVLGARITY is PERFECT, love it! Hmmm…I don't think they're all that way.

There is something so synthetic and cloying about that accord that I know for sure it would actually sicken me were I to wear it all day. Sensing that accord again made me want to pitch the couple Bvlgari samples I have in the trash, especially if it's a running theme in their scents... a "Bvlgariness" (or "Bvlgarity"?) if you will.

Do let me know if it smells anything like real iris flowers! Interesting, M — the scent didn't remind me of carnations, not even vaguely. Do let me know if it smells anything like real iris flowers!

You have captured my attention with this and now I have to go back immediately and re-smell it (and Sephora will probably hand me a sample too.) I have been longing for ages for a fragrance that smells like iris flowers -- which (although there are variations, as in roses) have a sort of carnation-type smell, but it's really a smell all their own. (As you've discovered, only some iris are fragrant.) A field full of blooming fragrant iris is intoxicating -- makes me long for New Mexico, there was a grower there I used to visit. Anyway. Now I'll re-sniff knowing what I'm looking for. The Sephora folks could not be friendlier, as you know, but I was a tiny bit annoyed that nobody in the store could give me any info on Amethyste, which was brand-new and prominently displayed on its own rack... but I should be grateful they're so generous with samps and don't pester ;-) Hi, R — I was out of town.
