I've always been a big fan of Bvlgari's creations due to their clean,fresh and luxurious nature...smitten by Bvlgari pour Femme, entchanted by Rose Essentialle, consumed by Mon jasmin noir , surprised by the spicyness of au the Rouge, comfortable with Au the blanc, but most of the time delighted by the wonderful, clean and not at all ''another-gree tea'' scent called Au the vert....
I think this is the world's most safe perfume that suits all occasions, all ages, all people in the world...the thing is, all other brands tried very hard (Dior escales, YSL Saharienne, even beautiful Hermes Jardins collection,....) to get that fresh,light but spicy feeling of summer breezyness, without makin it banal (Arden green tea, no ma'am!),boring, lemony or simply too watery, trying to evoke that season....
this is far beyond and above banal....it has a atmosferic feel, it screams expensive and feminine, but it also has the most amazing combination of notes qouted above...
i adore it and when I need a freshness boost without feeling bored after some time, or wrapped up in artificial lemons and whatnots....
highest grades,good sillage and no man should be without one if he cherishes the magic of simplistic and yet superb scent creations...

This is quite a departure from my normal Guerlain! But, I like this fresh, crispy scent. With notes of bergamot, bitter orange, orange blossom, Ceylon cardamom, pepper, coriander, Bulgarian rose, jasmine, green tea, and smoked wood, it has a list that looks like something I'd like. My love of bergamot prompted me to try this out, and I really love it. I think it's going to be delightful in the sweltering hell that is a Southern American summer.
I'll edit this review in regards to wear-time when I have more chance.
As a green tea lover, I wanted to like this fragrance. Unfortunately, when I finally received my Bvlgari au The Vert, it wasn't what I was looking for. It is a very clean, crisp scent at first that develops warmth and a herbal spiciness later on, at least on my skin. It is not an unpleasant scent, just not what I was looking for. I will still use this on days when I feel the need to wake up with a herbal crispness, but my search for a cool, crisp (possibly aquatic) green tea scent continues.
This is my everyday scent, I love it and wouldnt change it for the world. What I like is that there is a green tea scent but it is mixed with other notes which soften it.
Got this in a set of five Bulgari fragrances in a nice black keeper box from Macy's. Knew I wouldn't like this one but tried it anyway. Too green for this spicy oriental fan, but others might like it.

This is my classic scent. It has been a part of my fragrance collection for years. It's clean, crisp and has a touch of green and citrus. Five lippies.
Nice summer fragrance - refreshing, green, wooddy. Really good aroma. But I can't smell it on me. I know that it happens after some time, and that this is only "eau", but with this fragrrance it happened almost immediately. Plus, I never recieved a compliment on it. I left it for next summer. Won't repurchase.
