by Bvlgari
Yasep by Bvlgari is a sophisticated, unisex fragrance centered around a juicy mandarin-orange opening that blends with creamy sandalwood, vetiver, and musk. The initial burst is bold and slightly sweet, with a prominent orange accord that can feel loud and powdery at first, leading some to perceive it as leaning feminine or overly assertive in the opening. However, it settles into a deeply sensual, woody-musky dry-down with a sweet lactonic quality, reminiscent of a richer, more complex version of Tygar or influenced by fragrances like 'This is Us!' by Zadig & Voltaire. The scent evolves gracefully, transitioning from citrusy brightness to a smoother, earthy, and slightly synthetic amber-like richness, offering a balance between freshness and warmth. It performs moderately well in terms of longevity and sillage, with strong projection at first that tapers into a close-to-skin scent over time. Its suitability is broad, pairing well with spring and summer weather, and it can be worn in both day and night settings. While some find it too simple or underpriced for its value, others regard it as a signature scent, especially for those appreciating creamy, musky-sandalwood accords with subtle citrus and green vegetal nuances. The original core notes appear to be stable across different users, creating a consistent sensory experience without major variation.
