Fragrance inspired by Eau Parfumée Thé Vert Bvlgari | DIVAIN-528 | UNISEX

So similarities to the OG Vert, the old one that is complex (and the best), not the new Vert which is too simple, is there, but I would say only about 85% the same. The opening on 528 is an overload of lime and cilantro. The OG has lemon and coriander, and they are not so pronounced in the opening. The OG has a soft opening, its mellow, and not so cold, its fairly neutral to be honest, but 528 opens very cold and sharp. The dry down is about the same, so I do like it, but you have to wait for it, and I dont get the nice aromatherapeutic opening or the same experience as the OG. I wonder if someone else made a better dupe.

Also, why on earth sell perfumes with a 2ml sample to try out first, if theres hardly anything in the 2ml sample? The nozzles hardly work on the sample either, and the vile was basically empty upon arrival, so it seems more like a sales gimmick to me, since you dont get whats advertised. I see other people have received empty samples too, so seems to be an occurring problem.

I really like the Divain 528 (The Vert) scent -- so much so that I have purchased four bottles of the stuff. However, I also have the original Bvlgari fragrance and they are simply not the same. The Bvlgari is a very spare, very simple light fragrance: think neroli (orange blossom) and green tea only. The Divan fragrance is more complex -- it has some high citrus notes, some floral (Geranium?) in the middle, and some green tea and cedar in the bottom. I like it better than Bvlgari's product. It has a similar lightness -- like a summer scent, but the two aren't the same. Buy it because it is its own triumph, though. Great stuff.

Although not 100% accurate, the scent was closer than I expected, and can’t be beaten for the price.

It smells amazing! Just what I wanted

Muy buen perfume
