Created in 2017 by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier, the olfactory signature of Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts was originally composed exclusively for the discerning guests of these icons of Italian elegance. In 2026, in tribute to this storied legacy, Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial takes its rightful place within the Eau Parfumée collection. Beloved by travellers from around the world, this signature scent now steps beyond the hotel experience, deepening Bvlgari’s signature olfactory artistry – an inspired vision of nature as an endless source of emotion and refinement.
Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial draws its captivating name from an era when empires flourished through the exchange of rare treasures. Tea and citrus – once reserved for royalty and the elite – stood as emblems of prestige and cultural connection. In China, tea blossomed as a sophisticated ritual and symbol of enlightenment, while in Rome, citrus fruits represented radiance and prosperity, adorning imperial banquets and gardens. The word ‘Impérial’ embodies the harmony of these two grand traditions – East and West – reflecting the fragrance’s power to transport the wearer to a world of emperors, opulent courts and the timeless allure of these prized ingredients. In Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial, radiant accords of Sri Lankan Black Tea intertwine with the sparkling notes of Italian citrus, unveiling a bright and refined Citrus Musk composition.
Inspired by the majestic grace of ancient Roman columns, its design is elevated by the iconic glass décolleté – an emblem of sensory indulgence as personal and opulent as fine jewellery. The cap features the distinctive BVLGARI BVLGARI round insignia inspired by the artistry of ancient Roman coins. It features a crackled golden inlay, echoing the refined tradition of celadon ceramics, originating in China a thousand years ago. The flacon unveils a luminous harmony of orange tones, radiating gently as though illuminated from within. This vibrant, uplifting hue conjures images of tea leaves kissed by golden sunlight and citrus fruits ripening in a sun-drenched garden, introducing a fresh colour story to the Eau Parfumée collection.
