BLV Eau de Parfum II, from Bvlgari was released in 2009. The perfumer behind this creation is Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. It has the top notes of Licorice, Mandarin Orange, Star Anise, and Violet, middle notes of Iris, Patchouli, and Vetiver, and base notes of Amber, Benzoin, Cotton Flower, Labdanum, Musk, and Tonka Bean.
It's an inoffensive although lovely perfume, airy and slightly watery, very cozy, very safe unless of course one hates any one of the notes. Wouldn't have bothered to write a review of it if it weren't for the fact that today I found a sample spray hidden and forgotten for who knows how long (judging from the other samples it was with I'd say a good ten years) inside an unused wardrobe, so likely very well preserved. I spritzed it and couldn't stop thinking it smells exactly like a deodorant/body spray I had and used to love when I was a preteen in the mid-late 90's, Impulse Zen, or at least the memory I have of it. The notes listed for the body spray aren't useful to solve the mystery but the overall similarity was, to me or my memory of it, uncanny. Probably would eventually buy a bottle for nostalgia's sake alone.
