Bvlgari will launch Le Gemme, a new collection of luxury perfumes inspired by semi-precious stones and their historical trade routes, in September.
The six fragrances include Lilaia (peridot; shown), Ashlemah (amethyst), Amarena (tourmaline), Noorah (turquoise), Maravilla (citrine), and Calaluna (moonstone). All six were developed by perfumer Daniela Andrier. I will update with individual descriptions when I can.
The Bvlgari Le Gemme fragrances are packaged in bottles inspired by roman urns, and will run approximately $499 (SGD, about $399 converted to USD) for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Update: The Bvlgari Le Gemme fragrances will also be in 30 and 350 ml. They will not launch in the US until early 2015.
Amarena ~ tourmaline, a fruity floral with tuberose and powdery rose.
Ashlemah ~ amethyst, with lavender, iris, violet and heliotrope.
Calaluna ~ moonstone, with sandalwood, cardamom, heliotrope, ambrette and pear.
Lilaia ~ peridot, a fresh woody fragrance with mastic, peppermint, orange and mate.
Maravilla ~ citrine, a chypre with citrus, as well as peach, jasmine and patchouli.
Noorah ~ turquoise, with galbanum, cardamom, iris, benzoin, tobacco, oak, patchouli and vanilla.

That’s a gorgeous bottle, but unless it comes with the necklace, that price is ridiculous.
Hard to say what the US price will be, if they even launch here, but looks like they are going after the very rich…they’re also starting to do bespoke.
The rich ‘win’ again, darn it. Would love to get my hands on a bottle of these.
Ouch, so pricey. But since Daniela Andrier is one of my favorite perfumers I will definitely want to at least sample them.
Never say never, I guess, but I bet I will give these a skip.
$400? I thought that the perfumes were inspired by SEMI-precious stones
Ha…you need to check the prices of Bvlgari’s semi-precious jewelry
Found a nice necklace for you:

Oh good heavens! That photo demonstrates that being expensive and being tacky are not mutually exclusive!
They are pandering to the very newly rich here, it seems.
And no, there is no undertone of envy in my post here, none at all! Lol. But if I had the money to buy that, I think I would find something prettier to buy instead.
I’d rather have a Cartier kitty
Please, if one of the rich ppl out there feel like buying a piece of jewelry for someone, please consider buying me this:

I don’t ask for much, sharing is caring, lol:).
Love those chatons.
Is this the bottle? It looks like a table lamp…
I think it’s laying on its side. Probably looks better upright…drool.
But looks top heavy..klutzy me would knock that over for sure..then drooling would turn to crying, lol.
Here are all the bottles, right side up…

If I owned a bottle that top-heavy I would have to keep it in a drawer, because that thing wouldn’t stay upright for thirty seconds with me around. (I keep all my Lutenses propped up in a drawer because although they aren’t really top-heavy, they do have a very narrow base and they would topple like dominoes.)
They look a lot less enticing in that photo. Drooling over.
Oy! Too rich for my blood. I saw a photo of the bottle in profile and it looks gorgeous (though a little unstable).
So pretty! But yes, unless they spin around like tops and emerge unscathed when tipped over, even if I won the lottery, no.
MUST HAVE! MUUUUSSSTTT HAAAVVVEEE!!!
These are on sale at Harrods as of last week if anyone is in london and depserate to try them. I tried a couple – they were nice but they didnt blow me away – especially at that price !
Thanks!
