Bvlgari Man Glacial Essence by Bvlgari

An easy-to-please fragrance, perfect for autumn and spring.

Hello! Good perfume, rich and quite long-lasting. When I use it again, I love it. I don’t see much resemblance to 212, although both are fougères. I use several different perfumes every day so I don’t smell the same as the person behind me in line. I don’t keep anything for special occasions. Best regards.

I’ll be buying this soon; it will be my next acquisition. I tried a 2 ml decant and it was a unique scent, nothing like 212 as people say. It smells fresh, clean, and million-dollar, ideal for ages 25 to 40.

I think it has an exaggerated hatred. The scent is very rich, fresh, and woody, giving a great feeling of freshness and comfort. It lifts my mood. It’s subtle, clean, and perfect for enclosed spaces. I use it at the office and for daytime outings, but I don’t see a place for it at night. The flaw is the longevity, it doesn’t pass 7 hours, and the price isn’t the cheapest. I love it, it lasts all day. I give it an 8/10.

I don’t understand why it’s so undervalued. Unlike others in its price range, this one actually smells like perfume with fine ingredients. We look for that and few offer it. It might smell a bit generic, but for the good olfactometer, it’s a complex and balanced jewel where no single ingredient stands out. I don’t discard it for my signature scent because it has personality and isn’t overbearing. It’s sophisticated and clean, something you’ll never see matched in decent clones. Very hard to clone. One of those perfumes where you immediately recognise the original. 9.5/10, undervalued.

Spectacular. People talk badly about it, but I love it and it’s my favourite. I already need another bottle; it will be the only one I repeat.

All the ‘reviewers’ criticise this perfume… saying it doesn’t last, doesn’t project, is forgettable, and blah blah blah…. I bought it simply because I like the line and wanted to have it in my collection…. but when I applied it to the back of my hand, puuuuf, what a beast, gentlemen!!!! It lasted nearly 12 hours! I found it impressive… and that despite my crocodile skin being a surefire fragrance fail 🤷🏻♂️

A clean, citrusy, and woody fragrance, but a clean wood that can be used on hot days as well as rainy days. It projects well and lasts a little longer than average. It has the smell of a higher-cost fragrance; it’s worth it.

Glacial Essence is clean and pleasant but leaves me indifferent. A bit ordinary for such a beautiful name; you expect mint or a sensation of ice, though I don’t think it is worth the price. Moderate or weak longevity.

It’s a clean fragrance, like straight out of the shower. Then it generates a sensation of freshness. The projection for the first hour is adequate for a reserved environment. You won’t impact a large audience. From the second hour onwards, the scent is only felt if someone gets very close. 5/10.

A fresh, clean, slightly floral, embracing and delicious essence. What a pity that after five minutes there is no trail and it is only detectable close to the skin, lasting about two hours. I think it is the fragrance with the poorest performance I have tried. What a pity because the bottle is gorgeous and the scent a delight, but paying for something that evaporates in minutes is unfair; there are better options.

What a pity to have such a beautiful brand image and bottle… all to succeed, but mediocre execution and expensive prices. It seems it won’t last, but at a low profile it maintains for hours. The problem is that the scent lacks presence, grace, brightness and quality. It is very safe-mode, for the office and requiring reapplication mid-day, without many pretensions. It is noticeable as spiced, musky and the problem is that prominent ambroxan note which I don’t much like. I do not list it; it has a clear feeling for me. Since it is so minimal I should try it more without interference, but anyway, a proper NEXT for me, hehe.

I tried it in a retail store. It’s a good scent, pleasant and ideal for the office. It has a very marked clean smell and gives the sensation of a cold breeze.

I thought it would be something more ‘fresh’, but no; to be honest, these flankers from the ‘BVLGARI MAN’ family have a cut as sober as their packaging, and by that I don’t mean it’s bad, quite the opposite. If you’re looking for a fragrance with a soft, green, and aromatic scent, then go for it… I find it quite limited in its use, that is, for daytime activities and very much for the office with Italian-cut trousers, or some chino-cut trousers, with a shirt, loafers, and a very good pair of sunglasses… This fragrance is very Italian. As the hours pass, its woody notes settle, a soft musk that makes it slightly sweet, and a lily root that adds a somewhat earthy and powdery touch.
