The Bvlgari Universe animation at the cdf Mall offers an immersive and multi-sensory fragrance experience complete with photobooths, styling services, fragrance consultations and bespoke tea rituals

HAINAN, CHINA. Roman luxury house Bvlgari has partnered with China Duty Free Group (CDFG) to launch a striking pop-up at the cdf Sanya International Duty Free Shopping Complex (cdf Mall) in Haitang Bay.

This immersive fragrance experience, running until 29 August, invites travellers to discover Bvlgari’s Roman heritage and its olfactory portfolio inspired by ‘gems of nature’.

The Bvlgari Universe pop-up is centred on the newly launched Bvlgari Allegra Insieme, a woody floral fragrance crafted by Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier and his daughter Camille. It also shines the light on Le Gemme Amunae, a jasmine scent inspired by the mystical allure of moonstone.
