Italian luxury brand Bulgari has decided to bring together two of its areas of expertise and is releasing a stunning collection of fragrances inspired by a series of gemstones. Called Le Gemme (Italian for The Gems), the line consists of six beautiful perfumes for women, each presented in an exquisite bottle representing a different precious stone.
Daniela Andrier of Givaudan was the perfumer of choice to turn Bulgari’s vision into reality. Thus we have Ashlemah, inspired by amethyst and including notes of lavender, iris, violet and heliotrope; Lilaia, drawing its symbolic essence from peridot and containing essences of mastic, peppermint, orange and mate; the exotic Noorah, inspired by turquoise and featuring galbanum, cardamom, iris, benzoin resin, tobacco, oak, patchouli oil, and vanilla; the tourmaline Amarila, with tuberose and powdery rose notes; Maravilla, of citre, containing citrus, peach, jasmine, patchouli, and acethyvenol; and finally Calaluna, epitomizing moonstone, includes sandalwood, cardamom, ambrette, pear, and heliotrope.
The collection will be released in September in Europe and Asia and in February in the United States. Available as a set, or separately, a 100ml bottle will be priced at about $380 (€ 280).
