Bvlgari Wood Essence Cologne / Fragrance Review

[@0joeyw]

That is one of the nicest bottles ever. Not enough green is used in fragrance design imo.

[@Redolessence]

That's true!

[@c4hI0fo2p]

Unfortunately I can’t buy it anymore under normal circumstances, but (the green colour) was a major aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed with the ancient Gucci Envy scent.

[@egd277]

I love this one. I can't stop smelling it, sits well on me. This is my new favorite summer fragrance!

[@Redolessence]

I love that. Thanks for sharing

[@niCEwan]

How's the performance?

[@some105]

Man I just tried this today on a store... what an awesome fragrance. I wanted something more intense, more... mature. But this is gonna have to been an addiction to my collection very soon

[@dennisariiza7014]

THIS PERFUME Right HERE IS DEF BETTER THAN MAN IN BLACK. Smells so fresh and unique. Man in black is also nice but not as gud as this. Maybe am biased towards fresh scents. Definitely ranked up there with creed for me

[@Redolessence]

Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!

[@blackmondayy1]

dennis Kasigyi ... agreed 100% for me is also way better than man in black ... i would go to say for me its the best from Bvlgari

[@TheTripleBway]

Why doesn't Bvlgari sound as elegant when I say it? I've been holding off on picking this one up but now I'm thinking I need to pick it up. 70k on the way! #ftb

My brother! Thank you so much for stopping by the channel!

[@UnknownChap]

Well as a irish lad , the colour immediately caught my eye. Imo this is a very worthy and nice quality , it's perfect for a gift for a father/uncle👌 Man in black orient is my favourite from this house.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for sharing!

[@zdravkobaev1560]

Wonderful review! Completely agree with Steven! Wood Essence is lovely everyday elegant scent. Classy and modern as well. I think Bvlgari did a good job - from presentation to composition - for me it's a winner. Thank you for that video Steven! It's always a pleasure to hear your thoughts!

[@captainpsm1461]

I bought this perfume, and I am not disappointed even a little. I think this is gonna be my new scent from now on. It's about 6,500 Php or almost 125 USD and i think its price is just right to its elegant smell. And it's good if you wanted to have a more distinct smell from the others. Bvlgari never ceases to amaze us. Thanks a lot for the video too.

[@blackcat6508]

I love Bvlgari Man Black Orient, always gets me so many positive reactions even though I wear it for myself and not really for the compliments.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for sharing!

[@radelalic2286]

Calm,dry,woodsy,gentleman type of scent in a bit old school type.We don't have much of scents with that vibe in modern designer industry today. Neroli is very nice done in this one. Grear review.👍

[@mrfragranceparis]

This is an amazing fragrance. Very fresh very herbal you can smell the coriander for a long time it feels you are walking in a sweet forest after a rain. It can be worn in cold or hot weathers. Just stupendous. I have it in my collection all year long and I wear it very frequently. I prefer this one to Man in Black which I like as well yet makes me feel nauseous after a full day of wearing

[@niCEwan]

I always listen to your reviews before buying a cologne, thank you.

You're welcome!

[@mwpahl38]

Love the history & back story behind the fragrances, creators & product lines! Right up my alley. I tried this one out this last Saturday. Good solid flanker, woodsy, versatile, masculine. I definitely can't say that it beats out Man in Black, but I think that they are two different animals, and I tend to gravitate towards deeper fragrances. Amazing fact-filled review Steven! P.S. Did you wear "it" to work today?

[@Redolessence]

I didn't get a chance to wear it to work yet, unfortunately. Perhaps this coming week!

[@ingridramirez1804]

Hi, very complete review! My husband's really like this one, as you mention is versatile and a perfect fragance to enjoy both of us, he like fresh fragances and I'm in to wood fragances ...another one that I love is Man in Black and Terrae.

[@raymondmedina4437]

Hey Steve nice review I work for Bvlgari at Lord and Taylor’s in NYC Scarsdale and boy that one is selling like hot cakes mostly mature men buying 🔥🔥🔥

[@chasec.3095]

I love the ending picture of you, I've never seen it before. You look like such a boss!

[@Omega-EP]

As a fan of Man In Black I’m totally sold. I’ll get one right away.

[@DNikos]

It has a unique vibe to it , I didn't pick it up but I think down the road it is worth a purchase. From Bvlgari I really like Aqua in the summer & hope the bum who stole it from me returns it!

[@nicholaslavides1940]

I just smelled this foe the 1st time this afternoon and I’m pretty impressed. I’ll be giving it a test run tomorrow

Well said Steven! We always look, smell, or listen for what we want or find familiar. Personally, I was severely underwhelmed by the release, especially with that bubble-gummy opening, but I'll definitely give it another chance down the road. Btw, that green shirt looks great on you!

[@Redolessence]

Thank you so much!

[@ChaosFragrances]

Nice review Steven! Definitely a cool bottle design.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks, brother!

[@OArias24]

This one smells very nice. I think it is really appropriate for men in the age ranges of mid to late 30s. It won't be a stand out fragrance but it is really pleasant to smell. Great review!

[@User-qw7bs]

I am in my late teens and i love this scent. I just use this as my everyday scent

Heh, I got a good 20 hours out of my first spray, of course it wasn't as noticeable towards the end, but I can still easily smell it now and I put it on 13 hours ago.

[@ardenpowers7730]

Great review as always ! I was wondering about this one . . . I really like Man in Black ! Thanks for sharing !

[@Redolessence]

Thank you very much! I also like Man in Black. Much more than this flanker.

[@realpainrealdesire5772]

The immature in me laughs at things like this name. Im not proud of it but I do. Woody oriental always cracks me up. I've been looking for a Woody scent lol I love the smell of the forrest and a scent they call petrichor the smell in the air before it rains on dry ground when it hasn't rained in awhile. I've seen Demeter made one but the reviews basically said it isn't. I have a recommendation. Its a great spring summer scent opening reminds me of sprite. It's a cologne my wife got me from Brazil when we visited family. It's from a company, oBoticario it's called Dimitri. It's amazing.

[@Redolessence]

Hahaha. I know what you mean. Thank you so much for the insightful comment. I hope you're having a great week.

[@MP-ej9pw]

I do like the scent. For me seems o sit close to the skin fairly quick. Thanks for the review. Keep up the great work!

[@adriantapia5407]

Would be interesting make a comparison between all the bvlgari man flankers rated by a girl

[@Redolessence]

True!

[@Avilla2201]

Classically Masculine! Love it.... But I love Man in Black as well.

[@Frank-xn2bl]

New here! Didn’t know there were reviews for perfumes but hang on ! A lot of information you got there ! Kudos!!!! I’m getting this one to replace an old perfume I was a fan of the Italian scent : Ermenegildo Zegna Uomo. One of the best subtle scents I’ve had. The hair and face wash stayed longer than the perfume lol . The aftershave balm way brilliant too.

[@alexgordonepic]

this is one i will always own. it works perfect with my skin and. i get dirty at work.. this is not off putting or cloying. not too sweet either. neroli smells like old man to me. man in black makes me sneeze. this is one is all the good with no bad. and it is unique yet versatile.

Sprayed Bvlgari man in black on left hand and wood essence on right hand they both smell very good the wood essence projected stronger than man in black wood essence smells a lot different once it settles down i did not like the smell when i first put it on after dry down i loved it

Bvlgari made a lot of really good perfumes. Also my all time favourite is from Bvlgari: Bvlgari Aqva Amara 👌🏾

[@jeremyhinze8837]

Alberto Morillas is an animal 🐆 his name is on 50% of releases it seems as of late. I personally like man in black I think the best of the line and man extreme for its use of cactus thats different 🤔 I can go on and on about scents I like from the house bvlgari black, aqua amara are all fantastic.

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for sharing!

[@centonianXD]

@jeremy I do agree with your point, for me also his name is enough for getting the bottle though I'm sorry but Alberto Morillas is not the nose behind Amara. If I'm not wrong it's another famous parfumer Jacques cavaliar.

[@awkwardme5375]

I know I'm late here, but would you say that owning John Varvatos Vintage would make this redundant? I get heavy pine from that (like Christmas the day you take home the tree). I love pine, but I'm looking for something sweet and woody, since Polo Red Intense doesn't seem to have an obvious replacement.

[@erezimenamukoro75]

Great review..looking forward to getting this one..though i have the Davidoff Wood Blend. Wondering how it compares to it though?

[@Redolessence]

The Davidoff is much heavier with notes of vetiver and saffron. I find them to be quite different. Perhaps this is a bit lighter.

[@vetiwearerdaimyo1592]

I love Man line from Bvlgari and this is the first one that I don't like from that line Bvlgari Man ✔ Bvlgari Man Extreme ✔ Bvlgari Man In Black ✔ Bvlgari Man Black Orient ✔ Bvlgari Man Black Cologne ✔ Bvlgari Man Wood Essence ✘

Hi Steven ... so which one is better Wood Essence or Azzaro Visit ? or what is the difference between the two?

[@Redolessence]

Thanks for watching, Bradley!

[@williamlamontphotography4827]

I have the wood neroli which I love, would have like to hear more about the differences between them.

[@Seasniffer69]

Imo with both being green I can see how that would make people think they're similar. They're NOT similar at all in scent. Think of wood essence as a pine/cedar forest, very green projection at first. Dry down is really, really good after about 2-3 hrs. Like right before it becomes a skin scent. So fresh. Wood neroli is very powdery, white floral essence/very green. Drys down to a woody floral and to me, there's a sharp pickle smell with it. It's weird. One of my worst blind buys if I'm being honest.

[@MrHahaveryhappy]

Msn in black is the only one I have and love it. Marshalls has like 5 different bvlgrari fragrances right now for 40 each and trying to figure what I'll like before I buy.

I am amazed of the color of its juice is green. When I sprayed the tester on a strip, green liquid tinted the strip. It was strange because I am use to yellow, brown, blue, or colorless juice but not green. It smells sweet rather than woody, for me and most part. I like it, but not enougg to buy it.
