Bvlgari — the Italian house better known for jewellery and watches — produces fragrances with a precision and rigour that reflects the house’s craft heritage. From the simple, mineral brilliance of Eau Parfumée au The Blanc (1993, one of the first modern clean fragrances) to the operatic darkness of Man in Black (2014), Bvlgari has been consistently interesting across three decades of fragrance-making. In the UK, Man in Black is particularly beloved — the leather-lava-rum-benzoin combination is genuinely unlike anything else in the mainstream masculine market. Bvlgari dupes UK are especially sought after for Man in Black, which retails at around £85 for 100ml.
Best Bvlgari Dupes UK 2026
1. Bvlgari Man in Black Dupe — The Obsidian Masculine
Man in Black (2014) is Bvlgari’s most distinctive and original masculine. The brief was “lava” — the molten rock from Bvlgari’s Italian heritage, specifically the volcanic geology of Naples and the Campania region. The result: rum absolute, benzoin, iris and tobacco over leather, guaiac wood and lava. The rum gives it immediate warmth and richness; the benzoin adds a sweet resinous quality; the leather and lava (actually a synthetic mineral accord) give it darkness and texture. It’s bold, complex and completely distinctive.
It won numerous awards on release and is consistently cited in UK fragrance communities as one of the best-performing masculines for the price. Our inspired version captures that distinctive rum-benzoin warmth with the leather-guaiac depth. Excellent longevity and projection.
Best for: Evenings, autumn and winter, men who want something dark and distinctive. Not for minimal or clean fragrance preferences.
2. Bvlgari Omnia Dupe — The Jewel Collection
Omnia (2003) was Bvlgari’s first major feminine success: Indian tea, white flowers and sandalwood over amber, white musk and cedarwood. It’s warm and exotic in an elegant, restrained way — the tea note gives it a clean quality that prevents the amber from becoming too heavy. Omnia Crystalline (2005) took the concept further into clean, white territory: white tea, bamboo, opalescent woods and musk — one of the most successful clean feminines of the 2000s.
Our Omnia-inspired fragrance captures that distinctive Indian tea-amber character with the sandalwood warmth. Our Crystalline-inspired is the clean, white version — transparent and fresh.
Best for: Everyday feminine wear, office, spring and summer, women who love exotic-clean fragrances.
3. Bvlgari Pour Femme Dupe — The Italian Feminine
Pour Femme (1994) was among the first to popularise the clean, citrus-white floral direction that would dominate the 1990s and 2000s: orange blossom, iris and amber over white musk and cedar. It’s timeless and elegant — the fragrance equivalent of a simple silk blouse. Continuously popular in the UK because genuine quality doesn’t date.
Best for: Everyday wear, year-round, women who want a reliable, classic feminine fragrance.
4. Bvlgari Aqua Marine Dupe — The Mediterranean Masculine
Aqua Marine (2005) is Bvlgari’s take on the Mediterranean aquatic: poseidon (a fresh marine accord), mandarin, green tea and lotus over amber, musk and woods. Clean, fresh and effortless — a summer masculine with Mediterranean sophistication.
Best for: Spring and summer, everyday masculine wear, men who love clean-fresh fragrances without the generic aquatic quality of many competitors.
