Bulgari pour Homme Soir (2006)
by Bulgari

It is clean, delicate and elegant, but I don't know what is so 'Soir' about this one. I used it with great pleasure, but also every time I reached for it, I got annoyed by how 'light' it was. My skin soaks up fragrance and almost digests/discards it. I had to apply embarrassing amounts of this scent, because every time after ten minutes, it just vanished completely.

To me, this is perfect for those 'fragrance-less' days after using very heavy scents for a couple of days non-stop, but the longevity is really really lacking. It is almost a little sadistic when you think of it: you want to experience the delicate and rich layers, and those sparkling and clean notes separately, but there is almost no time. The frag's lightness does not give you a chance to make it a personal and intimate one.

Let me tell you, I will honestly pick this up again sometime, because this has the potential to be that 'light' scent every guy must have in his wardrobe all the time, even if you don't enjoy that particular cologne category all that much. This is much better than any other light and airy scents out there, however, I wish its sheer elegance were something I could get to experience and walk around in a little longer.

Its notes are Darjeeling tea note in its heart, fresh and airy papyrus, a cooler-than-most amber, and a bergamot citrus as to be expected. I cannot see what makes this a sexy, or an evening scent. To me, it is a light day-wear.

Ten times better than D&G Light Blue PH and YSL L'Homme, but still... I can appreciate simplicity, but give me the expected Bulgari quality that comes with reasonable longevity.

Bulgari must like tea. It's ALL I ever get from their scents. So far, this one is at least nice smelling and doesn't kill my nose with pepper (like Bulgari pour Homme). Alas, it smells like paper with some tea spilled on it. And, yes, I did try this on my skin and not from a card!....kinda meh.

This is the least citrusy compared to PH or Extreme PH for that matter. But the greatness that comes from this series is the spicey sweet scent base of dried darjeeling tea leaves. I somehow prefer the Extreme most. though this was good enough for me to indulge in another bottle. this is the spicier version of the PH, not too mcuh difference.

i agree with jude c. wonderful and original but too light. an extreme version is needed.

A very original upper-class scent. It should be for evening use, maybe a date, as it does impress.

Very elegant scent, slightly more oriental in feel than the the original PH and Extreme, but still retains the trademark Bvlgari subtlety. I find them all very appealing and sexy. Lots of people complain about Bvlgari scents being too transparent, but they are designed that way. My boyfriend wears Extreme and Soir almost exclusively, and I can smell them on him hours later, even though he can't. Besides, you don't always want a scent that is going to shout to the world, and for those times, Bvlgari is perfect.
