If you majored in English, now would probably be a good time to leave. I'm about to introduce a new word, Bvlgari Perfume. No, it's not misspelled. It's an old Roman way of spelling Bulgari, and it's spelled that way for a reason. I don't know what the reason is, but I bet it's a good one! You can spell it either way, and most people end up looking for Bulgari perfume, just because it's natural to want to spell words correctly.

A very famous designer label, Bvlgari makes more than just perfume. Their line also includes sunglasses and watches, just to name a few. They take great pride in their products; their watches are said to be equal to Rolex and their perfume is said to be the only perfume to wear if you're nominated for an Oscar. They aren't quite a household word yet, like Tiffany's, but they do have a cult-like following.

If you're wondering why it's so pricey, take a look at one of their main ingredients...roses. Now you're probably thinking, "Hold on, roses?" But let me finish. Know how much it takes to make 1 ounce of pure rose oil? The answer is...4000 lbs. of rose petals! Holy cow! No wonder those bottles cost $100!

Bvlgari has many perfumes on the market but one of their more popular ones is Rose Essentielle. Its main ingredients are blackberry, living mimosa, patchouli, and of course, rose oil. Thankfully, rose isn't the sole ingredient. If it was, Essentielle would probably cost a couple thousand dollars for their smallest bottle!

Bvlgari isn't out of reach for those on a budget, so don't give up hope. One option is a tester sized bottle, which Bvlgari offers (most perfume makers don't). If you want one, check out Google, or Yahoo, or MSN. Just type in Bvlgari tester and check out the results.

One type of store that does sell them is a discount perfume store. These bottles usually do not have the fancy designs and packaging of their larger siblings, but do you want to buy the bottle or the perfume?

You could also check eBay for tester bottles, but do be careful. What you see isn't always what you get on eBay...and sometimes you don't even get anything! Be sure that you check the feedback rating of each and every seller; it should be over 99% and it should have a few hundred reviews, at least. Also make sure that you never send money by wire - that's just wrong in so many ways!

If you want a bottle of Bvlgari Rose Essentielle, expect to pay anywhere from $90 to $130 dollars at a department store. If you shop around, expect to pay around $50 or $60 dollars for the same size (3.4 oz). Just remember that your friends might be a little jealous when they find out you went out and bought a bottle of Bvlgari. After all, they don't know you got it for half price, that is, unless you tell them!
