Au Thé Vert belongs to the Citrus-Aromatic family. It is famous for creating the "green tea" accord in modern perfumery, offering a dewy, non-sweet, and profoundly soothing scent profile.
- Top Notes (The Uplifting Splash): Green Tea Accord, Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Cardamom, and Lemon. A beautifully bright, slightly bitter, and airy citrus opening enriched by a sophisticated whisper of cool spice.
- Heart Notes (The Botanical Core): Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley, and Bulgarian Rose. A highly transparent, watery floral heart that softens the citrus without adding traditional sweetness.
- Base Notes (The Serene Grounding): Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Musk, and Amber. A soft, clean, and skin-like woody foundation that ensures the airy freshness lingers subtly for hours.
The Origin: The Fragrance That Berthed a New Genre
Launched in 1992 and created by the legendary master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert is a true milestone in fragrance history. Originally, it wasn't even meant to be a commercial perfume; Bvlgari commissioned it as an exclusive, welcoming ambient mist and gift for VIP clients browsing their high-jewelry boutiques.
However, the response was so overwhelming that it birthed an entirely new olfactive genre: the green tea fragrance. Ellena utilized an ingenious molecular combination to mimic the scent of hot, steaming green tea leaves, steering completely away from the loud, heavy powerhouses of the 1980s toward a revolutionary era of clean, fluid, and completely unisex minimalism.
The Frosted Jewel: The 75 ml bottle is a masterpiece of architectural understated luxury. Crafted from heavy, frosted green glass, its clean, columnar shape reflects the purity of water and the serenity of the tea ritual. It looks incredibly artistic on a vanity, perfectly communicating the spa-like, elite freshness of the juice resting inside.
