Created in 2017 by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier, the signature fragrance of Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts was originally crafted exclusively for the discerning guests of these jewels of Italian hospitality. In 2026, Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial—as a tribute to this unique heritage—now takes its place in the Eau Parfumée collection. Loved and celebrated by guests from around the world, this distinctive fragrance thus makes its debut beyond the hotel experience and enriches Bvlgari’s unmistakable sensual expressiveness—an original vision of nature as an inexhaustible source of emotional enrichment.
Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial owes its evocative name to an era when empires flourished through the exchange of precious goods. Tea and citrus fruits, once reserved for the nobility and the elite, became powerful symbols of power and cultural exchange. In China, tea evolved into a refined art form and a symbol of wisdom, while in Rome, citrus fruits embodied vitality and abundance, adorning imperial banquets and gardens. The term “Impérial” captures this union of two legacies—East and West—and reflects the fragrance’s ability to transport the wearer to an era of emperors, opulent courts, and the far-reaching influence of these coveted elements on entire civilizations. In Eau Parfumée Thé Impérial, the invigorating harmonies of Sri Lankan black tea blend with the lively nuances of Italian citrus fruits to create a radiant and elegant citrus-musk fragrance.
Inspired by the proud elegance of ancient Roman columns, the design is enhanced by the iconic glass décolleté, symbolizing a sensual experience as rich and intimate as wearing a piece of jewelry. The cap bears the round BVLGARI BVLGARI emblem, reminiscent of ancient Roman coins. It features a crackled gold inlay reminiscent of celadon ceramics, whose origins date back a thousand years to China. The bottle reveals a new harmony of orange hues that glow softly, as if illuminated from within. This radiant, invigorating color evokes tea leaves in golden light and citrus fruits ripening in the garden, adding a new chromatic chapter to the Eau de Parfum collection.
