Bvlgari Woman

Pour Femme by Bvlgari (1994)

Released in 1994 and crafted by perfumer Sophia Grojsman (the legendary nose behind Yves Saint Laurent Paris and Lancôme Trésor), Bvlgari Pour Femme was the brand’s original feminine fragrance and one of the most refined floral compositions of the 1990s. Built around passionfruit, orange blossom, jasmine, orchid, sandalwood, and musk, this sophisticated floral has earned cult status among fragrance enthusiasts as one of the most underrated designer feminines of its era.

Pour Femme has been discontinued. The 1994 Grojsman composition is no longer in active production, and authentic vintage bottles command premium prices on resale markets. Our interpretation references the original 1994 Sophia Grojsman formulation as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

Bottle size: 50ml · Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil) · Made in EU

The Sophia Grojsman Legacy

Sophia Grojsman is one of the most legendary perfumers in fragrance history, known for compositions including Yves Saint Laurent Paris (1983), Lancôme Trésor (1990), and Calvin Klein Eternity. For Bvlgari Pour Femme, she created a refined modern floral that exemplifies her signature approach: lush florals balanced by precision rather than excess. The composition remains a benchmark of 1990s designer perfumery technique.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately rich and slightly tropical with passionfruit lifted by sun-warmed orange blossom. There is an instant sense of refined feminine sophistication, neither shy nor overwhelming.

The heart blooms with the soul of the fragrance: jasmine, orchid, and a sophisticated white floral bouquet that distinguishes Pour Femme from typical designer florals. The dry-down settles on smooth sandalwood, soft musks, and clean amber. A base that lingers on skin for hours with refined, slightly powdery, deeply sophisticated feminine depth.
