The founder of the Bvlgari house, Sotirio Voulgaris, originally from Greece, learned the jeweller's trade in his hometown. In 1877, he left Greece and travelled to Corfu, then Naples, before finally settling in Rome in 1881. He founded the Bvlgari company in 1884. Today, Bvlgari has 130 perfumes in its fragrance base. The earliest edition was created in 1992, and the newest one was released in 2023. Bvlgari fragrances were made in collaboration with prominent perfumers, such as Annick Menardo, Carlos Benaim, Sophie Labbe, Olivier Polge, Daniela (Roche) Andrier, Nathalie Lorson, and Jean-Claude Ellena.
