Goldea The Roman Night

I have a review of this scent somewhere down below :) but wanted to say that this is a fragrance that needs skin and warmth to show its true beauty. I recently found the sample I ordered and sprayed it on a clean piece of tissue as I usually do before trying a fragrance on my skin and it smelled terrible--a blast of pepper (I'm hypersensitive to pepper for some reason) and something kind of sour (the mulberry I'm assuming). I was shocked because when I first tried it last year I was in love with it, but the sample made me think otherwise. I did cautiously dab the tissue on the top of my hand (just in case I needed to scrub it off) and oh my goodness, the beauty is still there, it just needs the warmth of skin to bloom. I sprayed the sample and that weirdly unpleasant pepper/sour blast is still there and lingers on me for a few seconds before disappearing into such a creamy, lovely, elegant fragrance. I'm going to need more testing of this, but I do think a full bottle is in my future...

I adore the smell of this,juicy fresh oriental.I also detect a little menthol vibe.However, and some may think this strange but, the sprayer is one of those mist ones were there's a little resistance when pressing and so produces a most instead of a squirt.These seem to be more and more popular with new releases.So why is this a problem?Well every perfume with this sprayer just seems to disappear within half an hour even if I spray twice as much.As I had had a sample of this that had a regular squirter and found the longevity to be fine I decided to decant my bottle.Problem solved, I now get the moderate longevity that I found the sample to have....really strange though.Its almost as if the modern sprayer disperses the perfume so far and wide that it never collects in one place to give a good healthy hit of fragrance.Ive also found this with Montblanc Lady Emblem Elixir and Muglers Angel muse.I hope they stop using these misters as it's getting right on my proverbial!!

I just happened to stumble across this while going on a scent sniffing expedition at Ulta and WOWZERS! This is the stuff right here! :) I am in no way, shape or form someone who can easily wear jasmine (it usually turns into an indolic catastrophe on me), but this night-blooming version is like heaven in a bottle! In fact, the bottle and the fragrance go beautifully together! This came across on me quite soft at first spray (unusually, as most modern fragrances come out the gate in a huge cacophony of notes colliding and screaming for attention), but as my skin warmed it up, I began to get wafts of one of the most elegant, sensual smells I've ever had the pleasure of smelling. This is gorgeous from top to bottom and don't let the softness fool you--these notes embrace one another like the most trusted lovers and leave a gorgeous scent trailing along with you as you move. Definitely number one on my wish list of all the new scents I smelled today!

I love this so much it's not even funny anymore. This is an absolute sophistication to me. Perfect name, too. It does evoke warm summer night in Rome to me, 100%. And the bottle is also a master piece, very tactile, smooth, artistic, luxurious and comfortable to deal with. I do get the low number in reviews in a way, as this is not a mass appeal scent (even though it's no niche either, freely sold in Sephoras...LOL!) and it is a Chypre, which not everyone is a fan either, and it also may feel a bit generic and uninspired to some people at first. But I think a smart person can find this for themselves and make it their own "unique" signature scent. It's been my go-to mood picker-upper for some years now and never disappoints. I can't imagine my life without this beautiful flacon on my frag counter in my bedroom. An absolute LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! ❤❤❤

It is very easy to find who is spreading real or faux reviews below here, people that know a fragrance, or those that read through the notes/others reviews and copycat their words. It's fun to look at, for example, the word "plastic" hmmm I want to be in your world you silly people where plastic smells like Goldea The Roman Night!!! Here is a tip to the genuine fragrance lovers, when reading other frag reviews look for colorful balloon symbols beside reviewers' images this will tell you it's a genuine review, the more ballons you see it's better. Now about the fragrance, Goldea is an amazing white flower fragrance and its downfall is only weak performance, it doesn't last long enough. You won't be disappointed though, it is not a five hundred dollar fragrance, you can simply spray again a few hours later, it won't hurt anyone.
