A journey in the Mediterranean Basin, along the most ancient routes of humanity across Europe, Africa and Asia in pursuit of pyrite, the “stone of fire”.
Since the dawn of time, Pyrite has been linked to Bulgari’s ancestral homeland of the Mediterranean Basin, and Italy in particular. The stone of fire, it ignites into sparks when two pieces are struck together. Pyrite’s most fascinating feature is its inherent duality: a cool, metallic exterior appearance conceals a heart of pure fire. Today, its meaning is symbolic: a connection between instinct and modern capability, a tie to the power, force and determination that exist at the heart of every human being — and inspire leadership and success in every facet of his life.
Inspired by the power of Pyrite, Bulgari Le Gemme Empyr is a masterful contrast of freshness and vibrant warmth.
It exudes fusing woody freshness as it opens with the vibrant spice of ginger heart extract revealing the enveloping warmth of sandalwood essence. Like fire under ice, it calls to mind the coolness of Pyrite, and, hidden within, its ardent, fiery soul, capturing the gemstone's unique facets and its impressive duality.
