A novel addition to the Bulgari Man perfume line, Glacial Essence presents urbanites with a signature fougere muskiness but with a new kick of alpine freshness. Still adhering to the core concept of the line, which is to capture the masculine force of a man on a quest for greatness, the perfume continues to inspire from the elemental forces of nature. Presenting a blast of confidence, the new scent is an embodiment of the sublime heights of glacial terrains and the element air.Â
Starting out blunt and harsh, like a sharp gush of frozen wind, the clean and sparkling essence of juniper berry, ginger and geranium faintly introduces itself. But just when the initial blast starts to dry down, the thick velvety aromas of Australian sandalwood essence and orris root are opposed by the herbaceous artemisia leaf. Like an avalanche, masculine base notes of musk and cedarwood and ozone note of the “clear wood” accord blanket all the other delicate scents. Once everything tones down, the skin-scent gives off a very clean and cosy feeling—a scent of a warm hug.Â
