Since 1884, Bvlgari has been synonymous with luxury, opulence and status in the fashion arena. The brand recently launched the Bvlgari Allegra collection of perfumes; each striking scent looks like candy and smells even better!
One unique facet of this collection I am excited to tell you about is the range of magnifying scents that each perfume can be paired with to create a bespoke layered scent for a personalised fragrance experience.
Italian for ‘Joyful’, the Bvlgari Allegra fragrance collection is an ode to adventure, travel, and self-expression. Each of these perfumes has a transportive quality, evoking the excitement of living in the moment.
Best Bvlgari Allegra Perfumes
With an array of seductive floral notes, fruits, spices and sensual musks, here is my take on the best Bvlgari Allegra perfumes worthy of a place in your scent wardrobe.
1. Allegra Spettacolore Eau de Parfum
Review
Spettacolore is a warm, woody, earthy feminine fragrance that evokes fresh, clean, and welcoming vibes. Picture a rustic, cheerful café on the coast, with the scent of plants in bloom around you.
Opening with a powdery and clean iris note, Spettacolore quickly reveals its heart of Myrrh and the resinous base of sweet amber that will fill your senses. Simple, yet surprisingly complex.
Top Notes:
Iris
Mid Notes:
Myrrh
Base Notes:
Amber
Seasons & Longevity
Wear it on spring or autumn days and expect 5+ hours of wear. Increase the staying power by pairing it with the vanilla Allegra magnifying scent.
2. Allegra Dolce Estasi Eau de Parfum
Review
Need a classic, delicate, feminine fragrance that will transport you back in time? For me, Dolce Estasi Eau de Parfum ticks all the boxes. Think girl next door meets femme fatale.
Sharp and zesty citrus at first, this scent quickly melts into a floral heart of heliotrope and a classic musky base to create a powdery, sweet, and enticing perfume that will make you feel elegant and sexy.
Top Notes:
Citrus
Mid Notes:
Heliotrope
Base Notes:
Musk
Seasons & Longevity
I recommend this for spring/summer/fall, mainly for daytime wear. You’ll get around 5+ hours of wear, longer when paired with a magnifying scent.
Pair Dolce Estasi with Bvlgari’s bergamot magnifying scent to add a little zing to the otherwise sweet blend. Opt for the rose to amplify the Golden Age starlet vibe.
3. Allegra Fiori D’Amore Eau de Parfum
Review
Classic, elegant, and chic with a youthful twist of sweetness, Fiori D’Amore is a stunning scent. Let this fragrance transport you to a rose garden in bloom on a warm summer day!
Turkish and Bulgarian rose notes create a surprisingly complex opening, but this is not your grandma’s rose water! A base of semi-sharp fresh raspberry keeps things modern.
Top Notes:
Turkish Rose
Mid Notes:
Bulgarian Rose
Base Notes:
Prelude Raspberry
Seasons & Longevity
Fiori D’Amore is a versatile scent worn from spring to early autumn, day or night, but it wilts in cold weather.
Expect 5+ hours of wear (more if you blend with a magnifier). I recommend the musk amplifier for extra seductive undertones.
4. Allegra Rock’N’Rome Eau de Parfum
Review
The rebellious gothic rock chick of the Allegra line, Rock‘n’Rome is warming, spicy, and slightly woody. Picture dark concert halls, lively pubs, and a sense of youthful freedom.
Initially, fruity/floral, sweet apricot and rich osmanthus blend well with the dry and woody heart of oakmoss. The robust base of benzoin resin never truly comes to the fore but instead supports the top and heart notes.
Top Notes:
Apricot, Osmanthus
Mid Notes:
Oakmoss
Base Notes:
Benzoin Resin
Seasons & Longevity
Suitable for any time of year; however, this perfume works well as an elegant daytime scent.
One benefit is 6+ hours of wear from one generous application. Pair with Allegra Bergamot Magnifying to step up the zesty brightness.
5. Allegra Baciami Eau de Parfum
Review
Rich, dry, and animalic, Baciami is sensual, sexy, and enchanting. Perfect for any girl who likes to exude power, sex appeal, and elegance, this is a powerhouse perfume with complex layers.
Fresh and sweet gardenia combines with rich vanilla to create a balanced, almost gourmand scent perfectly supported by a resinous and spicy amber base.
Top Notes:
Gardenia
Mid Notes:
Vanilla
Base Notes:
Amber
Seasons & Longevity
I would wear this scent in autumn, winter and early spring; the cold weather will help it bloom without allowing it to become overwhelming.
The robust base benefits Baciami wonderfully, taking you from day to night and lasting 7+ hours. Pair with Musk or Rose Magnifying scents.
6. Allegra Riva Solare Eau de Parfum
Review
Bottled sunlight with rich undertones; that’s the best way I’d describe Riva Solare. Bright and airy, it is reminiscent of windswept coastal paths and blooming wildflowers.
Zingy bergamot is the top note of Riva Solare. It creates a refreshing start that melts effortlessly into the heart of neroli, mandarin, and osmanthus. The elegant base of muskiness is a delight.
Top Notes:
Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Neroli, Mandarin, Osmanthus
Base Notes:
Musk
Seasons & Longevity
Thanks to its bright and airy edges, Riva Solare is the perfect spring and summer scent; think of intimate lunch dates or use it as a daily staple.
Lasts 4+ hours. Pair it with the vanilla magnifying scent to boost sweetness, or double down on musk to make it richer and more durable.
7. Allegra Fantasia Veneta Eau de Parfum
Review
If you’re a Dior Poison fan, you will love Fantasia Veneta thanks to its rich, seductive allure. Think candle-lit dinners in romantic restaurants and glittering ballrooms.
Juicy red peach and smoky patchouli create a symphony of aromas that mellow well and blend seamlessly with the base of rich, sweet vanilla; Fantasia Veneta will make you feel sexy and powerful.
Top Notes:
Red Peach
Mid Notes:
Patchouli
Base Notes:
Vanilla
Seasons & Longevity
I recommend Fantasia Veneta as an elegant any-season evening fragrance. One to wear when dressed to impress and ready for excess.
Despite its simplicity, this is a reasonably durable fragrance lasting 4+ hours. Pair it will the Allegra Bergamot Magnifying scent for a little more punch.
8. Allegra Ma’magnifica Eau de Parfum
Review
Simplicity doesn’t have to be boring; Ma’magnifica was launched in 2023 and has just two notes; It is enchanting, feminine, and has a luxurious vibe.
Sandalwood essence combines a bouquet of roses to add floral sweetness, freshness, and a powdery undertone. This is a timeless scent that smells expensive and sophisticated.
Top Notes:
Sandalwood Essence
Mid Notes:
Rose
Base Notes:
Powdery
Seasons & Longevity
I suggest this scent wears best in spring, summer and early autumn and is perfect for casual day-to-day wear.
Ma’Magnifica stands well on its own, though one drawback is relatively low durability, giving you around 4 hours of wear. Boost its endurance by pairing it with the vanilla or musk magnifying scent.
Ingrid’s Top Pick
Allegra Baciami Eau de Parfum
My top pick is Allegra Baciami Eau de Parfum because it is just so elegant.
Fragrant gardenia, rich vanilla and warming amber simply dazzle.
