Bvlgari x 4
Four videos from Bvlgari. First, a quick promo for Omnia Citrine. Then, below the jump, we’ve got a “masterclass” from perfumers Jacques Cavallier, Sophie Labbé and Alberto Morillas.

Friday scent of the day 5/15
Happy International Day of Families! Our community project for today: name your favorite fragrance family, and wear one or more fragrances in that family, OR, make up your own fragrance family (like, say, wood pudding), define it for us, and wear the best example of that family.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.

Reminder: 5/22 will be World Goth Day…
