Bvlgari’s new Allegra fragrances can be personalized with Magnifying essences

 

 

@Bvlgari Allegra personalized fragrance collection 2021

First, choose your eau de parfum, then select an exclusive magnifying essence. Now you are ready per un viaggio nell’Italia autentica.

Allegra is the new personalized fragrance experience from Bvlgari. The candy-like bottles will bring colorful and superlative Italian emotions from the energizing energy of the Italian Riviera to the joyous celebrations of Venice.

French perfumer Jacques Cavallier created an Italian sensorial experience with its new Bvlgari Allegra fragrance collection. With five eaux de parfums and five magnifying essences, Bvlgari Allegra offers myriad combinations to create a uniquely personal scent. From the composition to the bottles inspired by colored gems, this fragrance collection is both joyful and precious.

The idea is each of the fragrances can be combined with an essence to create a truly personal scent. The five Magnifying essences have white bottles, symbolizing the purity of the ingredients: musk, bergamot, rose, patchouli and vanilla. These natural gems echo Bvlgari’s celebrated jewelry expertise.

“All roads lead to Rome, all magnificent ingredients lead to Rome, and all fragrances lead to Rome,” says Jacques Cavallier about his creations for Bvlgari. Inspired by the history and lifestyle of Italy, Bulgari master perfumer put his passion and art into crafting the five Bvlgari Allegra eaux de parfums and five Magnifying essences.

Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud is a French perfumer formerly with the Swiss fragrance and flavor company Firmenich, who currently works for Louis Vuitton of the LVMH Luxury Group. He has created or collaborated in the creation of over 80 fragrances and perfumes for fashion house brands such as Parfums Christian Dior, Parfums Givenchy, Issey Miyake, Yves Saint Laurent and Lancôme.

The multiple perfumes combinations are the fruit of superb creativity.

For the fragrances, the citrus notes of Riva Solare evoke an endless Italian Riviera holiday, while the roses of Fiori d’Amore are like kisses in the eternal city. The gourmand amaretti and orange blossom in Dolce Estasi are inspired by the attachment to family and childhood memories. The cocktail of fruity notes in Rock’n’Rome echoes a spritz aperitivo shared at sunset. And the chypre accord of Fantasia Veneta with patchouli, peach and vanilla is an invitation to extravagant Venice masked balls.

Bvlgari chose artist and model Solange Smith to embody the different facets of the new fragrance collection. From a dip in the Mediterranean in Capri to a café terrace in Rome, Solange embraces the eaux de parfums and essences in a whirlwind of joy, love and exuberance, a perfect ode to Italian dolce vita.

Acqua di Parma 100° Anniversario: Colonia Sandalo Concentrée

1916-2016. A HUNDRED YEARS OF ACQUA DI PARMA

Colonia meet the smooth sandalwood in Acqua Di Parma Colonia Sandalo Concentrée.

Acqua Di Parma Colonia Sandalo Concentrée perfume

An unexpected and intriguing result, Acqua Di Parma Colonia Sandalo Concentrée is an original reinterpretation of Acqua di Parma’s iconic fragrance, Colonia Sandalo. The perfume celebrates Acqua di Parma’s “century of elegance, craftsmanship and pure Italian savoir-vivre.” The perfume house is celebrating its century by promoting the art and culture of its home town.

It was a hundred years ago, in 1916, that Carlo Magnani, a man of great refinement and elegance, heir of one of Parma’s aristocratic families, created an unusually fresh and modern fragrance as an expression of his own lifestyle. The brand was founded in 1916 in a small perfumer’s laboratory in Parma. In 1993 the brand was revived by entrepreneurs Luca di Montezemolo (former chairman of Ferrari), Diego Della Valle (President and CEO of Tod’s) and Paolo Borgomanero (a major shareholder of lingerie retailer La Perla).

Acqua Di Parma History

 

Acqua di Parma Colonia, the first true Italian eau de cologne

Even in its very name, Acqua di Parma demonstrates the close bond it enjoys with the city in which it originated. Parma, capital of theatre and music, figurative arts and architecture. The city of Giuseppe Verdi and Arturo Toscanini, and celebrated by Stendhal.

” It is from here that our passion for Italian art and culture is born. And it is to honour this sense of belonging that Acqua di Parma is celebrating its Centenary with an abundant programme of initiatives aimed at promoting the expression of Parma’s art and culture,” says Acqua di Parma house.

Gabriella Scarpa Aqua di Parma

“In the year of Acqua di Parma’s Centenary, we are very proud to be celebrating our anniversary with a project that is far-reaching and has a strong cultural significance. To celebrate such an important date, it was entirely natural to collaborate with Parma’s institutions and celebrate the city where the brand originated. Creating an important occasion for showcasing Parma’s architectural marvels to the world – its theatres, its music, its celebrities, its history and its living tradition of craftsmanship – means celebrating the values of beauty, art and culture which the brand has always nurtured. Values for which the brand is a global ambassador and which it has been sharing with the city of Parma for a hundred years,” said Gabriella Scarpa, Acqua di Parma’s president.

“Colonia is more than just a perfume: it’s a lifestyle. Just as Parma is much more than a place: it’s a way of being,“ says Scarpa.

Top notes: Bergamot, orange, lemon, petit grain;
Middle notes: Lavender, cardamom;
Base notes: Sandalwood, tonka bean, amber.

The luxurious Eau de Cologne Concentrée is available at Harrods for £176.00/ 100ml.
