Bulgari fragrances: Italian jewellery meets fragrance
Bulgari is one of the most iconic jewellery houses in the world, founded in Rome in 1884. Its entry into perfumery came in 1992 with Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert — a fragrance that changed the rules in the luxury fragrance market, introducing for the first time on a large scale the concept of green tea fragrance in high perfumery.
Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert (1992), BLV (2000), Omnia (2003), Omnia Amethyste (2006), Man (2010): a catalogue reflecting the brand's Italian identity — elegant, Mediterranean, refined.
Vintage Bulgari: what collectors know
- Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert (1992) is considered by many experts the fragrance that inaugurated the green tea category in modern high perfumery. The very first 1990s productions with original packaging are rare and interesting pieces.
- BLV pour Femme (2000) in its first productions has slightly different floral characteristics from later versions.
- Omnia (2003) in its very first editions has more pronounced spice and sandalwood notes than current versions.
- The Bulgari Le Gemme line — extreme luxury fragrances produced in very limited quantities — reaches valuations far above their original price on the secondary market.
- Bulgari Man (2010) in its very first editions has slightly different characteristics from later versions.
- Some Bulgari fragrances from the 1990s and 2000s were discontinued without replacement: these out-of-production fragrances reach interesting valuations on the secondary market.

Real testimonial:
"I had an Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert that looked late 1990s. VIPER analysed the batch code and confirmed it was one of the first productions — the original version with the cleanest, most citrusy notes. Exactly what I hoped."
