Bvlgari will launch Le Gemme Imperiali, three more fragrances in the brand's luxury Le Gemme series. Splendia, Irina and Desiria were inspired by the culture of Jade in Imperial China, and share a common magnolia note.
Splendia / Green Jade ~ with magnolia, narcissus and oakmoss.
Irina / White Jade ~ with magnolia, jasmine and musk.
Desiria / Violet Jade ~ with magnolia, rose and musk.
Bvlgari Splendia, Irina and Desiria will debut in January, and will be available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Those bottles are gorgeous! They look like something you could drink Sake out of in a Japanese restaurant. I would want to sample the Green Jade because I love oakmoss.
I agree on all counts. Are those the actual bottles? Seriously lusting going on here.
The color set for this trio is really lovely.
Ditto that! I rarely get enticed by a bottle, but their design team deserves serious kudos.
Sorry but to me they look like door knobs! Am not holding my breath on the juice either!……ooh I do sound pessimistic but there’s not much out there thats blowing my mind…..
Door knobs — you cracked me up!
They all have that tone of Jasmine Noir, but smell much much lighter. They’re pretty much $400 skin scents, not worth the fragrance, only the art behind the concept; all about the prestige behind the packaging. All I can pick up for each of these fragrances is a musty note with a prominent single ingredient overdose that sits very faint…but again musty. Imagine walking into an unused room and you pull back the curtains, the sheets from the furniture and open the window in spring; fresh burst of essence with must in the background. To each their own.
I love the sound of Splendia, and I love the design elements of the bottles, but they bother me, because to my eye, they look top-heavy and unstable, and I keep expecting them to topple over. I have this urge to flip ’em, so that they sit on the wider end. Perhaps they’ll come in one of those fancy velvet-lined presentation boxes so that they are held securely upright.
My thought too. One bump of the dresser or vanity and it’d be like going bowling – tumbling they’d go.
Coming from a background of studying history, I love the idea of the amphora, but I had never laughed so hard at work before from a customer comment and all I can think of when I look at them is what she said;
“who died? Every time I’d go to spray myself, I’d feel like I’d be walking around wearing my grandmothers ashes!” ????
Still love the concept, but I can’t help looking at them any other way now.
A Fragrance called Irina with no iris seems so weird to me!
