My father bought it for me randomly for my 24 birthday, it instantly became my favorite cologne. I always wear it now on my birthdays and special occasions as tribute for my father!
Hey fragrant friends, hope you enjoy my take on this latest release, let me know your thoughts below and don't forget to ENTER to WIN on the GIVEAWAY - Good Luck to All!
I think Wood Essence has already become my favorite from the MAN lineup, I also love Black Orient and Black Cologne. With Wood Essence it’s the zesty mixed with the cypress wood and cedar wood plus the Haitian vetiver that really smells so soothing to me. And I cannot remember smelling anything similar personally, and my friends have all told me compliments and asked me what the scent was :)
I tested yesterday Wood Essence and WOW! So classy, so woody and elegant! Pure perfection! Modern masterpiece! It got everything to be one of the best nowadays green-woody scents, that represent the idea of modern gentlemen. I love that the base is warm and keeps the whole composition complex, pleasant and attractive, and give lovely balance to earthy-green-woody heart of the perfume. I'm impressed by Alberto Morillas, because it's a brave new perfume and not just another pointless flanker.
Wood Essence sounds exciting, especially if it wears well in the summer. I like Aqva Amara a lot, but my taste is moving away from aquatics and more towards earthy fragrances. Living in a hot climate year round kind of limits what can be worn.
Seen this for the very first time today while doing my shopping, I quickly pulled my phone out and went straight to TH-cam and came across your review and ended up buying it. Thanks for the great review buddy, big shout out from South Africa....
Definitely the best fragrance I´ve tried. Dior Sauvage smells to me too strong and synthetic and I don´t like it´s spiciness either. Sauvage is no comparison to this luxurious masterpiece of Bvlgari which has it´s manly character but is light at the same time. The creamy citrusy-woody scent with hint of sweetness is marvelous.
I still love the Man in Black but I would go get my nose on it because I'm looking for citrus and vetiver cologne that's good to go. Great review and keep up the work. Also the matching of your outfits really works too.
Amara is fresh citrusy at the start, but also has some spiciness to it which to my taste doesn´t work well with in hot summer. On the other hand Dunhill Icon is a fantastic citrusy (orange/tangerine) alternative to Amara and is lighter, better suited for summer as it doesn´t have spicy character. The only thing is that Icon has only 1/2 of the Amara´s performance. Either way for me it´s a better, cleaner, ligher alternative to Amara wich instantly ensured me much more compliments than Amara (women didn´t like the spiciness that much and I agree with them). But this Bvlgari Wood Essence is on another level. It´s a masterpiece.
2 giveaways WORLDWIDE? Count me in 😁. I have only smelled Bvlgari man extreme and it was very pleasant. This new flanker caught my eye due to that beautiful color scheme you mentioned, I just love the woodsy green. And after your description of it I really want to try it out, I enjoy vetiver notes as well 👍. Thanks for the review.
Not sure why I always watch reviews after I purchase something I really like, whether it be bands I love, or Colognes, Video Games etc. Literally just purchased Wood Essence today like 1 hour ago. I couldn’t decide out BVLGARI MIB EDP or Wood Essence.... settles with Wood Essence with the help of a nice lady. Next payday I’m getting the MIB EDP 👍🏻
I'm a fan of Bvlgari Man in Black. In fact, I like it better than Spicebomb. It just smells like it's higher quality and better composed. This Wood Essence flanker really intrigues me.
I don't think your comments do justice to how good this cologne is. I am more of an oud guy, but this essence is an amazing product, quite an intelligent mix I must say.
Man in black is my favorite #1 (go to) fragrance, out of all fragrances, and I have hundreds. With that said, I'm sure you would conclude, that I am a fan of the whole Blvgari Man line, and you're correct. Can't wait to check this one out.
Thumbs up for the review , haven’t smelled it yet , from the whole bvlgari man line I think I like Bvlgari man extreme the best . Hope it works good for here in Florida .
Cool beans! Didn't know this one was out there. Sounds right up my alley! I liked the original Bvlgari man ok, I had Bvlgari man extreme for a while and liked the cactus note and I own Bvlgari man in black right now and thoroughly enjoy the spicy rum vibe. Would like to get my sniffer on this one. Nice review. Take care.
Great Review Max , have not tried much from this house. Love woody fragrances, when I seen frangrance was coming out . This sounded right up my alley .
Very informative Max! I have 2 from the line, Man & Man In Black...and Man In Black is my fav! The airy tobacco spiced rum accord is great. Such a nice mature masculine scent! Can wait to wear it more this fall
Excellent review Max. I only have 3 Bvlgari’s, Aqua Amara, Aqua Marine, and Bvlgari Homme Soir, but your vid got my juices flowing on this new release. Sounds like a keeper!
Very much have enjoyed the bvlgari man fragrance line that I've tried. I'm fairly certain the only two I haven't smelled are black orient and wood essence. Favorite as of today would have to be man in black
I'll be getting Bvlgari Man Extreme this Friday I can't wait. I think i will love that cactus accord the reviews talk about .Also love Bvlgari Aqva have that in my rotation during summer
I'm very curious about Wood Essence and the review of Max Forti is coming right on time :) It sounds exactly like I imagine and I'm eager to test it! The bottle looks sooooo gooood!!! Thank you Max Forti for sharing your thoughts about this hot and brand new fragrance!
I don't have any from this house, but I would definitely enjoy man in black. I'm hoping this one has a more herbal and less spice than black. Hope to get this one. Sounds elegant!
My favorite from this line is Bvlgari Man Black Orient, it's 10/10 for a designer, such a pleasant one with a little bit of middle eastern kick to it, so sophisticated)
Im a Bulgari fan from way back..my fav so far is Man in Black edp...love it in fall/winter..this one sounds amazing...love the notes listed..i just checked out fragrantica and its getting lots of love..so..Im all in..looking foward to getting my nose on it...thanks for the review Max..........Bob
Hi I'm from the Caribbean and I own Bvlgari man black esence. Great for work and dressing up owned man black colonge and black edp but sold it. This one sounds nice man black orient also.
Hey Max! Thank you for this review. Initial buzz on Fragrantica is not too positive, but trolls are trolls. Good to hear your viewpoint. I really love Bvlgari and in fact am wearing Man Extreme today! Thats my favorite so far from this line- just as you say, mature, classy, and professional. Of course I'd love the decant of this one!
Great review max. Thanks for the insight of the new release. Will check it out. I only thought the man in black was average to my nose, but curious to see how this one is.
So after receiving my decant I've given it a few wears. My skin soaks it up quickly, but for some reason that's what I enjoy about it; not overpowering at all! Thanks again Max!
I love Bvlgari Man in Black Essence Limited edition.. People compare it to spice bomb which I love but this has a nice rum wood dry down that I love! Plus the bottle is beautiful.. NJ USA
This is what I need a sophisticated sweet fragrance I knew this was going to be good and coach platinum is going to be the new hype like savage it that good both coming to my collection and good review bro
Great review from a great reviewer. Although, I've never had a Bulgary Man, I'm pleasantly intrigued by your presentation and inclined to give this one a try.
I am looking for a new 'daily driver' and this sounds right up my alley. Hard to beat the old hockey puck from this line but can pull it off in the summer. Thanks for all the hard work good sir!
It looks and sounds great. I just hope it smells nothing like Burberry Indigo, which I found repulsive. Should I get this Max? The vetiver note is fine with me.

I still don't get what it kinda smell like....l hope it doesn't smell like polo green..ewwwww...which one smells best this or Doir eau sauvage ?
It's a matter of personal preference Michael, doens't smell anything like polo green...
I love Bvlgary.. Nice video.
Thank Max
I think Wood Essence has already become my favorite from the MAN lineup, I also love Black Orient and Black Cologne.
With Wood Essence it’s the zesty mixed with the cypress wood and cedar wood plus the Haitian vetiver that really smells so soothing to me. And I cannot remember smelling anything similar personally, and my friends have all told me compliments and asked me what the scent was :)
I trully like the smell of bvlgari man line up,, highly recommended😁👍
As a fan of wood and spices, I will definitely be checking this out.
Thanks for the great info Max
Thanks Michael

This sounds like I would really enjoy this scent. Bvlgari Blv is my all-time favorite!
Blv is really nice!
I’d like to try Wood Essence. So far my favorite is Bvlgari Man in Black.
This is my signature scent. I wear it on a few less demanding office days and for casual moments. Absolutely favourite.
Wood Essence sounds exciting, especially if it wears well in the summer. I like Aqva Amara a lot, but my taste is moving away from aquatics and more towards earthy fragrances. Living in a hot climate year round kind of limits what can be worn.
Hey Sean, I definitely think you can rock this one in a tropical climate, just control the sprays.
Max Forti looking forward to trying it, thanks for the tip!
My favourite from the Bvlgari Man line is hands down Man in Black. The rum I get in the opening is just very pleasant.
Seen this for the very first time today while doing my shopping, I quickly pulled my phone out and went straight to TH-cam and came across your review and ended up buying it. Thanks for the great review buddy, big shout out from South Africa....
I have no bvlgari cologne. I’m very new to the frag community. Can’t wait to see who wins
Bvlgari Black cologne is an underrated gem for me can't wait to try this one!
I love this one. This one actually has gotten a straight weeks wearing...WITH NO DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!
Definitely the best fragrance I´ve tried. Dior Sauvage smells to me too strong and synthetic and I don´t like it´s spiciness either. Sauvage is no comparison to this luxurious masterpiece of Bvlgari which has it´s manly character but is light at the same time. The creamy citrusy-woody scent with hint of sweetness is marvelous.
I still love the Man in Black but I would go get my nose on it because I'm looking for citrus and vetiver cologne that's good to go. Great review and keep up the work. Also the matching of your outfits really works too.
Thanks Michael.
Love Man extreme and man in black. Cant wait to try this. Master Morillas rarely disappoints!
Thanks for bringing this to us max. I'm glad they changed it up and tried something new. Will try it
Good review and doesnt sound overly generic and reparative. Way to go. Another classic.
Thank you Brian
Aqua Amara is the best 1 so far... Perfect for summer !!
Amara is fresh citrusy at the start, but also has some spiciness to it which to my taste doesn´t work well with in hot summer.
On the other hand Dunhill Icon is a fantastic citrusy (orange/tangerine) alternative to Amara and is lighter, better suited for summer as it doesn´t have spicy character.

Black Orient is my fav from the Man line. Look forward to getting my nose on this, thanks for the review.
Haven't tried this one yet but it sounds to be very good.
Man in Black is one of my favorites
Aqva Amara is my favorite only because I have not smelled very many offerings.
Gotta love the color of green juice. Hope this is a start of the green juice comeback.
Looking forward to trying this. I have the Man Extreme. Solid scent.
Jason Hughes awesome brotha. Indeed.
Excellent review Max. I only have 3 Bvlgari’s, Aqua Amara, Aqua Marine, and Bvlgari Homme Soir, but your vid got my juices flowing on this new release. Sounds like a keeper!
Thanks for sharing Rick, I love the Aqua line as well!
Thank you for all you do for the community!
Very much have enjoyed the bvlgari man fragrance line that I've tried. I'm fairly certain the only two I haven't smelled are black orient and wood essence. Favorite as of today would have to be man in black
I really enjoy Man in Black but this one is growing on me!
Really want to try this. I have Orient and Essence from the line. Orient just being sightly better to me.
I own Bvlgari Aqva and Man Extreme. Would like to own more because I really dig their line. Their frags tend to lean very masculine.
I agree!
Great video! This fragrance caught my attention! Thanks, Max!
Sounds like a winner, can't wait to give it a whirl.
Great review..Just got my nose on it, leaning towards getting a full bottle . Classy just like the presentation and the reviewer.
I appreciate the kind words - let me know your full thoughts if you get it!
Nice vid Max. I’ve only tried a decant of Aqua Amara. Very nice in the humid southern heat.

Joy Amin

Saw this new perfume at KLCC's Bvlgari promotional booth today. Will try a sniff at the tester tomorrow. Cheers Max!
I appreciate how thorough you were reviews always are. Unfortunately, I have never tried any of the Bulgari line.
My favorite from this line is Bvlgari Man Black Orient, it's 10/10 for a designer, such a pleasant one with a little bit of middle eastern kick to it, so sophisticated)
Man In Black and Extreme are my favorites. Extreme reminds me a bit of ADGP.

I love Bvlgari Man in Black Essence Limited edition.. People compare it to spice bomb which I love but this has a nice rum wood dry down that I love! Plus the bottle is beautiful.. NJ USA

Would love to try this out!
Have tried the MIB but didn't buy it cause I have Spicebomb....but it was a really good scent tho
Great review from a great reviewer. Although, I've never had a Bulgary Man, I'm pleasantly intrigued by your presentation and inclined to give this one a try.
Thanks - good luck on the Giveaway!
Great review! My favourite one is bvlgari man in black
Good video, definitely have to try this one. My favorite is Aqua Amara
I am looking for a new 'daily driver' and this sounds right up my alley. Hard to beat the old hockey puck from this line but can pull it off in the summer. Thanks for all the hard work good sir!
Thank you.
Sounds great! I love man extreme, and man in Black is great at well
It looks and sounds great. I just hope it smells nothing like Burberry Indigo, which I found repulsive. Should I get this Max? The vetiver note is fine with me.
Hey Stephen I really liked this one - definitely try it first to make sure you like it!
Smelled this on paper and it’s pretty solid. Gotta test this one on skin next. Man in black and amara are my top two from this house
I’d love to check this out, my fave so far is Essence!
I have MIB i will try wood essence because i like this line of perfumes.
I’m going to Sephora this weekend to try it. Thanks
Haven't used Bulgari in a while, maybe it's time to rediscover the brand with this one.
Tried it and wife liked it so much she purchased it for me, good call on this one.
Great review max !! My favorite is blvgari man extreme just love that one
I don’t have a favorite from the line yet but I’m guessing this might be the one!!!
The Extreme is my current favorite. What do you think about this one in an office setting?
You can most definitely rock it as an office scent. (Just go easy on the trigger)
