Bvlgari Tygar EDP (Tester)
Description
Bvlgari Tygar is a bright citrus-woody aromatic: grapefruit and ginger over a clean base of ambroxan, vetiver and musk. Composed by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud and released in 2016 as part of Bvlgari's Le Gemme collection, fragrances named after gemstones, Tygar takes its name from tiger's-eye, a stone associated with courage and power. It opens with sparkling grapefruit, warms through ginger and ambrette seed, and settles into a clean, woody-ambery dry-down made for easy everyday wear.

How long does Tygar last?
Expect roughly 6–8 hours on skin, with a moderate-to-strong trail early on.
Does Tygar contain oud?
No. Its woody-ambery depth comes from ambroxan, vetiver, musk and a little patchouli. There is no oud in the pyramid.
What is the Le Gemme collection?
Le Gemme is Bvlgari's collection of fragrances named after gemstones. Tygar is named after tiger's-eye.
