From the brand -
"Discover Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar, an astonishingly contrasted citrus woody fragrance crafted from accords of fresh bursting grapefruit and deep sophisticated ambergris.
"A journey through Kerala, known as the “spice garden of India”, and home of the magnetic Tiger's Eye. Its optical effects, with yellow and brown stripes, fascinated the Ancients. For them the tiger’s eye - from the Latin «tigris» - was the gemstone «that sees everything», connecting man to the energy of the earth and the sun and giving him mental strength and intuition. Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar is a fragrance with incomparable brightness and a very strong personality. Built around accords of fresh bursting grapefruit, and deep sophisticated ambergris, it captures the duality and the exceptional energies of the Tiger’s Eye. The first impression and impact is surprising. The base is dense, but still contains light and energy."
Fragrantica - "To me initially it smells like a sweet grapefruit champagne. It then starts building up the ginger . It sweeter than expected. It then gets a super smooth perfect amount of musk and ambroxan. It all comes together to like a high-end grapefruit ginger candy with musk. It's perfectly made. It's sweet but not too sweet, it's musky but not too musky, it doesn't go powdery at all. You can smell the quality and mastery of the perfumer. Performance is pretty great for the style of fragrance. It lasted a solid 7 hours. It projects for about an hour but on me it has very good sillage ."
Fragrantica - "I finally understand the hype around this fragrance. Fresh, woody, citrusy and extremely smooth. The grapefruit smells natural and clean, not synthetic like many blue fragrances. Easy to wear, easy to like, but still gets attention every time. What I love the most is how versatile it is. Day, night, casual or dressed up it just works. It gives that classy and confident aura without trying too hard. It smells like a fresh airy summer day, leather gloves on, une balade in a Porsche 718 convertible. This is the type of fragrance that makes people react when you walk by."
Fragrantica - "The Magic of Effortless Elegance: Bvlgari Tygar. An ice-cold cocktail sipped against the setting sun on the Mediterranean coast, wearing a breezy linen shirt... This is exactly the scene that awakens in my mind the moment I first spray Bvlgari Tygar on my skin. It is the masterfully bottled essence of effortless elegance and the much-talked-about concept of "quiet luxury." However, as with every popular masterpiece, this bright star has a nature that needs to be evaluated objectively. The opening is simply magnificent; it greets you with an explosion of vibrant, juicy, and incredibly realistic, freshly peeled grapefruit. It is impossible not to get caught up in this energetic aura. Yet, Tygar is not just a fleeting, ordinary summer citrus. The smooth woody notes and the massive dose of ambroxan that soon step in elevate the composition from a simple, fresh scent to a much deeper, magnetic, and masculine profile."
Fragrantica - "This is an absolute masterpiece. Smells like a sophisticated old page from a book where you dropped some grapefruit juice on and it went at the beach for a swim. This heats you with the citrus and quickly the musk makes it warm and creamy and the vetiver in the background keeps the mystery. I fell in love with this honestly. Pricy but hey it’s a masterpiece for real. Shines in warm weather but I think it’s also signature worthy all year long. Uplifting gem."
Fragrantica - "opening is the best grapefruit top note ever done. drydown is super reminiscent of aventus. you can feel the ambrox, vetiver, patchouli base, despite them not being officially listed on parfumо, the official bvlgari site or the official pamphlet given out in their amenity sets for Emirates. this can be dressed down and dressed alllll the way up. from daily wear to business meetings. this exudes true class."
Fragrantica - "Tygar is a freshie with a heavy ambroxan base and a grapefruit top, which compliments each other so damn well, making a gorgeous masculine citrus fragrance. Compliments while wearing this has been crazy, this is a very likeable and mass appealing fragrance, but it is also unique. Hence, everyone will think you smell good and some would stop you to ask you what you're wearing since they haven't smelled anything else like this before."
