Given I’m entering into rebirth for the shoulder, I chose this today merely based on the description listed below, restoration. Bvlgari Man Rain Essence is an invitation to experience the unstoppable creative power of water through the transformative and restorative power of rain. Powerful and indispensable as rain, Bulgari Man Rain Essence is a unique fresh woody musk fragrance permeated with clear and radiant notes. It is given strength by energetic mineral accords that bring to mind the purity of this rejuvenating natural element. TOP NOTES: green tea essence and orange essenceMIDDLE NOTES: accord of white lotus and accord of crystalline muskBASE NOTES: mineral amber accord and guaiac wood essence

Received this fragrance for valentines day and I simply love it. The opening is a subtle fruitiness which is coming from the Raspberry and a creaminess from the Almond. At 15 minutes the sweetness has settled significantly and I am starting to pick up some of the floral notes. Still getting some of the creaminess from the Almond. At 30 minutes I am getting a creamy Almond scent with some undertones of floral and some sweetness from the Vanilla. During the dry down I am picking up the woody notes but the are very subtle and soft and not overpowering like some Oud notes typ[ically are. This is such a well blended fragrance and it screams elegance. Performance: Projection is fair. This is not a projection beast fragrance by any means. The scent bubble is about 18" for about 90 minutes. The sillage is a little better with the fragrance trailing about 2 feet for about 90 minutes as well. Longevity is a different story. On my skin the fragrance lasts about 6 to 7 hours with it becoming a skin scent after about 3.5 hours. Layering Concept: I layered this with Cuir Beluga by Guerlain and the scent is simply devine.
