The Turqoise
Noorah
NARGUILE VAPORS - CANDIED DATES - LAOTIAN BENZOIN
Its rich, mysterious, sensual fragrance captures the magnificence of the Silk and Spice Routes
Turquoise takes us on a journey along the Silk and Spice Routes of yore. The most beautiful specimens come from the region of Nishapur, an exceedingly ancient city in Central Asia, and one of the crossroads of the mythical Silk Route. Caravans belonging to Turkish traders brought the turquoise to Europe, giving the gemstone its name. A stone of the bright blue sky, a nomad gem recalling open spaces. Noorah, an evocative name embodying the exuberance of the infinite heavens.

Citrines are known to distill good vibrations, encourage a positive state of mind and fortify intelligence.

Each of the six Eaux de Parfum of Le Gemme collection is a hymn to the colour, the light, the emotion of the stones that it celebrates in a bouquet of delicate, opulent, extraordinarily luxurious, ingredients. An olfactory journey between the freshness and sensuality of a Mediterranean garden and the warm and silky mists of the Orient. Like so many facets of feminine desire.
These precious stones, from diverse continents, transport us on a journey to other worlds and times... "The Bulgari Gems Road"
The Inspiration
Le Gemme is a collection that the “master of colored gemstones” created like a voyage - the true “base note” of a collection composed like six concertos. Each one corresponds with an iconic stone in the story of Bulgari - the amethyst, the tourmaline, the turquoise, the peridot, the citrine, and the moonstone - and in its translation into an olfactory language. Linking, more than ever, his art as a jeweller to his art as a perfumer.
With the High Perfumery collection Le Gemme, Bulgari has created a spectacular Map of the Precious - with Stones and Fragrances intimately linked in time and space. Moulded by its Greek and Roman roots, Bulgari has always embraced new horizons with passion, inventing a “geography of joy” whose route travels along the paths of the world... It is in this profusion of influences, co-mingled and reinterpreted in contemporary style, that we find the sources of inspiration of a jeweller- perfumer born under the rule of the sun… the sun of the Mediterranean, the cradle of western culture and its meeting with the Orient.
Inspired by the tradition of High Jewellery and its values of excellence and uniqueness, Bulgari enters the exclusive sphere of Haute Parfumerie with Le Gemme Collection. Dedicated to women, this Collection is the supreme expression of the Essence of the Jeweller. The six fragrances represent six Jewels of rare richness. They express Bulgari’s passion for exceptional raw materials, by embarking on a journey around the world on the secret Gems Road.
