Composed by master perfumer, Alberto Morillas, “The luxurious modernity of Goldea plays with the codes and values of traditional Italian and French high perfumery,” remarks Alberto Morillas, perfumer, creator of Goldea. “The perfumes that I create for Bulgari are first and foremost jewels, with the shine or matte finish of a precious stone. Like a goldsmith, I wanted to chisel the radiance of gold, like a frozen drop of water crossing a “luminous field”.

 Goldea’s bottle evokes Bulgari’s jeweler heritage and the golden rings which encircle the bottle top also feature the iconic snake that Bulgari, the Serpenti an iconic motif  and  now translated into the flacon.
