Is this fragrance better suited for men or women?+−
It is marketed as a unisex fragrance and is widely accepted as such. The lavender and shiso provide an aromatic lean that appeals to fans of traditional colognes, while the iris and violet offer a soft powderiness often found in feminine perfumery.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
While tea-based citrus fragrances are often fleeting, Eau Parfumée au Thé Bleu is noted for having respectable longevity. It typically lasts through a standard workday, though the initial bright herbal notes transition into a quieter musk and iris base after a few hours.
Is this appropriate for a professional office environment?+−
This is considered an ideal office scent. Its "clean laundry" and "luxury tea" profile is non-intrusive and stays close to the wearer, making it suitable for professional settings where loud or heavy fragrances might be unwelcome.
How does this compare to Bvlgari’s original Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert?+−
While both share a tea-focused DNA, Thé Bleu replaces the bright citrus of the original with aromatic lavender and powdery florals. Many find Thé Bleu to be more substantial and complex, offering a "velvet" texture compared to the "watery" feel of Thé Vert.
