Scents so easily evoke our favourite moments. This is because unlike other senses, smell travels directly to the emotional and memory centres of our brain. Go on, take a mental vacation with these.
BVLGARI ALLEGRA EDP
No packing is required for this Roman holiday. Choose from a quintet of Riva Solare (bergamot), Fiori D’Amore (rose), Dolce Estasi (citrus), Rock n’ Rome (floral fruity) and Fantasia Veneta (patchouli). We were especially chuffed to learn that the bottle comprises 96% glass and was made in one single piece, which reflects Bvlgari’s technical prowess and commitment to reducing impact on our environment. But here’s the fun bit: add a spritz of one of five Magnifying Essences (musk, rose, patchouli, vanilla, and bergamot) to further personalise your fragrance.
