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.

I believe I chose this for the inclusion of Jasmine, and I don't really get much of it. So if you're someone who likes a bit of jasmine in your perfumes, this isn't it. Maybe it blends in too much with the other florals... "white floral" does ring through but jasmine inparticular does not. I don't get the fruitiness of the mulberry either, even though it's the primary note? I do smell black pepper and bergamot though, which are nice with the musk and white florals. Like others have said, it does smell elegant and is non-intrusive for people who want to wear something to the office and not bother anyone. It could be for daytime or evening. To me it could be worn in any season, but maybe a bit heavy for summer (cooler summer nights perhaps?).

I love the Goldea line and Goldea the Roman Night is my favourite. It reminds me of a summer night at the mediterranean coast. On me it starts with bergamot and mulberry, I don't get any pepper. As it develops jasmine takes center stage and bergamot is still noticeable. Then it dries down to a soft musk and patchouli. The performance is not the greatest, on me it is noticeable for about 4 hours then it becomes a skin scent and even before that it doesn't have big sillage. I don't know if it is just my bottle or not but, I noticed the sprayer sprays slower and longer compared to all my other bottles and I seem to be going through this faster than my other perfumes.

Years ago, I worked in a high end lingerie boutique. 19yr old lil me didn’t even know there were bras for $300. I Loved unpacking new stock. I will never forget the way that rich, pristine Italian silk robe felt. (I twirled around the store in it of course) The box this potion comes in, that would be the fabric design, & she’d smell just like this. Unmistakably luxurious, unquestionable quality. Smouldering/brooding style sexy. My skin loves it, lasts well, great bottle, and is it just me or does this have a unique mister? Really fine & smooth. I got a great deal & there was two left. Rookie mistake lol. I imagine this would be an easy/welcome gift idea.

The fragrance to remember Goldea The Roman Night is modern sophisticated pleasant subtle stunnig fresh unique and unforgettable. Goldea The Roman Night is one of the best new fragrances in my opinion which have been launched lately. Bergamot creates perfect citrusy opening. Jasmine and tuberose play simultaneously and patchouli supports all these perfect notes. Very well blended. The bottle and the name make an impression that this was created as night or going out fragrance but to me Goldea The Roman Night is absolutely perfect for daytime wearing because it is both subtle and unique amongst typically considered daytime fragrances.

This is such a stunning fragrance. Sultry, leathery, sensual, feminine and misterious. I love Bulgari's Goldea, but this is deeper, more voluptous and sooo luxuriant. Indeed, I find a similarity with Coco Mademoiselle, but this smells like its sexy, provocative, daring sister. I got hooked on it the first time I smelled it. A very intriguing mix of flowers (tuberose, peony, jasmine), fresh citrus, green notes (mint, vetiver), leather and patchouli. To me, this is one of the best fragrance from Bulgari. The kind of fragrance that I would buy over and over again, without getting bored of it. I simply adore it...

Oh wow. I really like this! I found a sample in my drawer and looked up the notes and thought, meh. But when I tried it on my skin, it really bloomed into something really pretty, feminine, classy. I definitely get the tuberose above most of the other notes. It's the same type of tuberose in Michael Kors Michael. Fleshy tuberose. Looking at the "This reminds me of" section, I can tell you that this smells nothing like Chance or Coco Mademoiselle. This smells nothing like anything I've ever smelled. It's a good one. But I agree with many of these comments that the sillage and longevity does suck.

this opens with a heady combo of dark, jammy fruits and white florals, which didn't interest me too much - i found it similar to an amped-up version of burberry london. but the drydown is pure velvet. absolutely gorgeous, luxurious and enveloping and sweet without being overwhelming. it's deep florals with just a hint of musk and it is maybe the smoothest thing i've smelled on my skin yet. it comes down to a skin scent pretty quickly but i can't even be mad because it's so stunning when i do catch a whiff of it. if it holds up on the next couple wears, this one is 100% FB-worthy.

OH MY GOD, THIS IS SOME SEXY STUFF! The night blooming jasmine is most prominent with a bitter/earthy mulberry note in the background. Very long lasting and sits so lovely on the skin. I have edited this review as my first one was rather crude. I shouldn't have wrote a review after smelling this fragrance! It is just gorgeous. This is how I imagine Nicole Kidman would smell in Moulin Rouge if Ewan had chosen the "smouldering temptress" option. Enough said. Just try it!

Despite having been released in 2017, this seems to match the fragrances I first smelled as a child in shopping malls and department stores in the mid to late 2000s. I think it's the jasmine. It just screams "sophisticated woman perfume" to me. It's classy and darkly sexy without being morbid or weird. It's what I imagined I would buy when I grew up and matured and wasn't living with a mother who hated perfume and forbade it in our house, lol.

It's very pleasant perfume, with scent of peony and rose, I don't personally smell mulberry, also I adore this fruit. This perfume is best for me for my night out, very lovely, gorgeous. I thought it would be overwhelming, because the bottle is black, but no! It's very inoffensive <3 and the bottle is so beautiful. overall: Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 8/10 Positive emotions: 9/10 Price: a little bit overpriced.

What a feminine, flirty scent. A soft fruity-musky-chypre that is suitable for most occasions. To me the most detectable notes are the mulberry, peony & black musk - with mulberry being the star here. It develops into a skin scent within 30 minutes and has such a beautiful dry down. A perfect 2nd skin fragrance that is sensual/intimate and sits close to the skin.

Starts out much like Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noir Couture, but the dry down is almost instantaneous. It quickly becomes a soft skin scent, lovely low sillage. Buy the Intense if you want it to project more. A lovely fragrance for those days where you want a close warm scent. Would be lovely in the boudoir of a Romanesque Goddess x

I absolutely love this it smells so classy and actually smells like Italy 🇮🇹 and rich bitch vibes so upset that it had been discontinued I only have one bottle left now which I opened the other day so now I will only spray small amounts and when I get halfway it will retire to my perfume graveyard of other discontinued scents I love

Rich, jammy goodness! The pepper, bergamot, musk, moss, vetiver, and patchouli do a wonderful job of keeping the sweetness of the mulberry and florals from dominating everything. It reminds me of Nest’s Indigo, but shorter lived and without the herbal bits and that brief waft of wet clean dirt.

The Roman Night is a lovely perfume with beautifully blended unusual combination of notes like that of mulberry, pepper and night blossoming jasmine where the end result is perfect. One of the best works from Bvlgari but it lets down in its sillage and lasting power which is not upto the mark.

Hedonistic elegance this is such a sexy fragrance it is so lush and scrumptious. I have several other perfumes that feel similar to me this and hypnotic poison are my favourites as a sucker for a oriental floral this hits that spot right on the nose. Expect to be complimented.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful scent! This scent stands proudly on her own and sets herself apart from the majority scents. I can imagine - sexy elegant woman, italian cobbled streets, few glasses of wine deep ,cosy dimmed dinner date. Please DO NOT discontinue this beauty!

yes i already have it, my husband bought at dutch when he was on duty , i’m so happy because i am very love bulgari, this parfum is very sexy fragrance’s

I love love love this perfume. My boyfriend also loves it on me. But keep in mind it does not last very well--after a few hours it disappears on me.

I absolutely LOVE this perfume. A classy yet captivating scent. Feminine without being sweet. It’s very soft with understated sophistication.

I actually find the name of Roman Night quite fitting. It's a beautiful deep scent of Jasmin, soft musk and the slightest hint of rose and peppery notes. (I know there are more notes in this, but I'd be lying if I said I could identify them all). This is a sensual summer night scent if there ever was one, but there is also a certain sophistication about it, you wouldn't wear it with jeans but actually rather with a nice dress and a fancy pair of heels. It's one of the few scents where I feel the marketing idea is really on point in regards to the scent itself. Sadly in the climate region where I live (extremely humid and hot Mumbai) that wonderful scent goes to waste completely due to it's super low sillage and longevity. It is ok if a scent is not too loud, but even after just one hour you'd almost have to touch the tip of your nose to my skin to still smell it on me. After 4 hours it is completely gone. It's just a crying shame. I'd be very curious to know what the experience of people living in hot but dry climates is with this one. I'm holding on to my bottle in hopes to be able to try it out maybe if I happen to go to Delhi (which has a lot drier climate) or to Europe in summer. So yeah, very very beautiful scent, but for Mumbai/tropical climates it's a clear pass. Edit: I am wearing this now in 2020 during monsoon weather (very humid, but with slightly cooler weather than for the most part of the year) and its sillage and depth improved by leaps and bounds. So i guess what this scent needs is weather under 30 degrees celsius, regardless of humidity. Longevity is still meh, but still I'm so glad I held on to it!

Bvlgari has accustomed me to refined, gentle, slightly almost ephemeral fragrances, although I do not really know all its perfumes or especially "Le Gemme" line in which perhaps a bold, strong fragrance is hidden. The Roman Night. It's name made me think of an important perfume, almost opulent, and for a long time I had a reverential fear in testing it. Today I said to myself: why not? I struggle to find something that gives me the idea of being nocturnal, in my mind. Yes, there is that hint of earthy note that was mentioned, I felt it thankfully after about 40 minutes from the spray. All the way back home I kept sniffing myself at the frantic search for it, and also for the tuberose. Let's say that perhaps all the top notes have gone swallowed up by the scorching temperatures of my car, before the air conditioning made its effect, but in no way does it remind me of purely nightly bold scents. Obviously this was just my thought, based on the name, influenced by it. I practically foresaw something different but it still remains a very good perfume, in perfect Bvlgari style. Elegant, genteel, refined, not opulent as I expected and perhaps I'm a little bit blue for that! But really, really worthy for me. I'll buy it without having to retest it. Sorry, I wrote too much..

I could bathe in this stuff. No joke. It starts out a little disappointing - the initial hit of mulberry smells a bit like other fruity frags on me, but I am so glad I kept sniffing! Once those gorgeous florals come through (night blooming jasmine HELLO, it is wonderful to meet you!) they balance the mulberry out, at which point it becomes darker, more intriguing and more inviting alongside those lighter florals, offering little hints of bursting, naughty mulberry juice, like stolen jam. The rose is an understated friend, letting the jasmine really shine, the combination of which sets the tone for the base notes, which is when this frag really comes into its own. The black musk and patchouli really turn this scent into a mysterious, gorgeous cloud. It's so Italian, it's so ageless, it's so sophisticated. I loved the advert with Bella Hadid too, the frag suits her gorgeous, unique face. I bought this as a sample, but I will definitely be buying a bottle ASAP. EDIT: Forgot to mention -- this perfume sits close to the skin, like a true mysterious goddess, but my oh my the longevity is marvellous. It only projects at all for about 4 hours max, but it sits on the skin for hours upon hours - you really get the most out of those base notes!

This is pretty. Nothing spectacular, just simply pretty. I have tried three fragrances out of this line and don't think any are particularly outstanding. I have a travel sprayer from fragnet and while I think this is the nicest out of the three I have tried to date, I don't like it enough to invest in a full bottle. Some berries and a mixture of pretty florals. Unfortunately, no one flower note stands out. I was hoping the night blooming jasmine and tuberose would be a little more prominent, but they are not. I do enjoy the dry down but can only smell it when I sniff my wrist. Longevity is pretty poor too. I got about three hours out of this skin scent. I agree with others here about the name. When I think of a night perfume I think of something dramatic with good silage. This is more a day wear scent for me. This might be good for someone needing to wear something low key. Highly doubt it will offend anyone because I don't think many will be able to smell it. Pretty, but there are other perfumes in this genre that I like more that perform better.

So, I read and heard great things about this fragrance on social media. I spotted a gently used, open-bottle for a great price on one of the popular Internet resale sites. Snapped up a 75ml bottle. Not sure what I expected, to be honest. And while nice enough (I suppose), I guess I expected more. As I applied this and processed the perfume's development, I thought (as others have stated), "Pleasant enough, generic, inoffensive, department store fragrance." So, WHAT does this REMIND ME OF? Then it came to me and I peeked at the notes of both. While certainly not identical, the notes are very similar. Reminds me 10,000% of Guerlain "Mon Guerlain Intense"...no doubt. Mon Guerlain Intense has the LAVENDER opening, while Goldea The Roman Night has the mulberry (fleeting) opening. And Mon Guerlain Intense is stronger, bolder, etc with better performance. By contrast, Goldea The Roman Night has relatively weak performance, IMHO. But yeah...citrus opening, floral mid-notes, patchouli-woody-base. It's okay...nothing at all unique, or special.

I was very surprised for it has a very soft opening considering the top notes. I had to spray twice as much just to smell it but then I really could. It a soft spicy scent with a undertone of the Bergamont on my skin, that worked into a very pretty floral scent that I really like, noticing the tuberose and the rose scent the most. Ending with a enticing smooth musky scent that is soft and appealing. It has a soft sillage which would work great for work or small gatherings. It works really nice in this cold weather so not sure about warmer seasons other than night's maybe. I really don't think I would buy it again for I like a bolder scent but soft scents have there place and time. It lasted for up to 6 hours before I wanted to spray it again. Wanted to add over the next few weeks I ended up liking it better. The notes work very well together developing in a nice perfume!!

I really liked Goldea upon first application. I bought a large decant and panicked when I saw it was discontinued and on clearance so I jumped at a large full bottle. I think I would've been fine with just the decant. It smells great but it's lacking somewhere? The performance is weak, it takes 4-5 sprays and does not last more than a couple (maybe 2) short hours. It's sweet dark slightly spicy berries, a little on the elegant side. I could see wearing this to a nice evening semi formal event. It's a beautiful for a fall/winter/summer night as it will not last throughout the day. I wanted to love it, but it just falls a bit short. Maybe if the performance was decent. The bottle is beautiful though, one of my favorites aesthetically.

Initially I smelled a slight fruitiness from the berries... and some florals. An hour in and that fruitiness had mellowed and I noticed the florals and a slight musky amber, more... which I find quite pleasant. 3 hours in and it faded nicely to a light musky floral. On me, this lasts about 5 hours. I never really noticed any of the patchouli or oakmoses (which is far more noticeable in the Goldea Roman Nights Absolute version.) This is probably a good year round fragrance, but I think it blooms the most, during warmer temps. I don't think it is "too similar" to the Goldea Roman Nights Absolute, which I find might be a bit more of a challenge to wear or totally unsuitable, for folks that are not fans of patchouli.

This starts off w/ a bit of black pepper and bergamot mingled in w/ mulberry. There is a bit of plastic kind of smell w/ the mulberry that I don't care for, but luck has it, it goes away to reveal a very pretty jasmine perfume. It is a nice jasmine in the heart of the fragrance but as it dries down it becomes very heavy w/ peony, mingled w/ tuberose and moss and musk. The dry down is the best part of this fragrance. Edit: 5/13/22 I rotated this out of my collection. I gave it to the waitress of the luncheonette we frequent. Her boss says I'm her Santa Claus LOL. She is such a sweet girl and I like giving her these perfumes along w/ her regular tip. It's fun to make people happy and brighten their day.

Tried this one today and to me it's mainly mulberry and some flowers (rose?) This is, in my opinion, quite an uncomplicated scent, for me it's not a heavy perfume and it's also ABSOLUTELY not a fall/winter kind of fragrance. I could wear this on a summer evening/night and maybe the first days of autumn, still sunny and warm. Definitely office friendly, could be sexy in the right conditions. Smells very Italian, it's neither clean or vulgar. Just a little bit sticky-kinda-sweet and it possesses quite a ripe femininity. I can imagine a beautiful and fashion oriented Mediterranean woman in her 40s, aware of her sexuality, but also quite a conventionally attractive one, wearing this.

Very classy and mature, smells like old money. Definitely a nice elegant fruity white floral. I smell strong notes of black pepper and bergamot in the initial spray but it is quickly followed by the fruity hints from the mulberry, which is subtly sweet but most certainly not edible nor gourmand. there is a nice musky woody note from the moss and vetiver that i really enjoy with the mulberry to make a nice musky forest type scent. I wish I could smell the rose a little heavier and I also wish they used turkish rose rather than classic rose to add some floral sweetness as classic rose is a little too mature and powdery and makes my nose itch.

I recently did a review of Goldea The Roman Night on my Youtube "Rotten Rebel" This (to me) is mostly a musky floral with a sweet touch with jasmine and tuberose being the two most prominent floral notes. The floral side is nice and beautiful and the sweet fruity side blends perfectly with the florals. Musk and patchouli brings it’s a soft and seductive feeling and it all comes together in a great way. To me this is a mix of something elegant and sexy. I like it and I think this is an underrated fragrance for women that most people will like!

Fun scent for going out. If you wore Gucci Rush and now you’re in your 30s, this is what to wear for ladies night or wine tasting. For me it’s hard to pick out individual notes because it’s well blended between the fruit and the chypre. I would describe it as sweet, dark, and slightly dirty. Edit: I blind tested a sample of this, not knowing the name or seeing the black bottle, and the soft floral aspect came out a lot more for me this time. I still enjoy it but would recategorize it as a dressy spring scent.

I’m so surprised that this fragrance isn’t as well received as I expected. I personally really enjoy this one, especially for the fall winter season! I think it’s well blended, warm and sexy. I don’t find it sweet. I can pick up the pink pepper immediately, some florals (although my nose can’t distinguish which) and the musky patchouli base. I don’t get much fruity notes. I like it a lot but have to spray it heavily to get the projection and longevity I prefer! It’s a cool weather staple!

This scent goes left and right. It starts out all floral and sweet, with a dominant dark vanilla mulberry note without any tartness, and some Tuberose (on first whiff it reminds me a bit of Balahe by Leonard), but (too) quickly turns into a soft Coco Mademoiselle like airy veil infused with musk and shea butter. Almost as if Coco Mademoiselle was mixed with a few drops of Just Cavalli Her. Fans of Her should try this one, although it is much softer and closer to the skin.

Syrupy sweet opening evolves to a beautiful musky dry down. I am not a fan of berries, and if the opening didn't go away fast I would have washed this off. Thank goodness that changed and it became very floral. Then a heavy musk showed up and makes this frag dark, deep, and sensuous. That is also when I can smell the black pepper, which I didn't in the top notes. Not sure if I would purchase a bottle based off the sample I have as I really dislike the opening.

for a person who loves young, floral, fresh and airy perfumes, i would never like this kinda perfume, idk how to describe this one but it's nectar sweet imo, however i start to like it as it's very seductive and mysterious scent for anyone wanna portray such image of a grown woman (im not trying to be a grown woman yet at the age of 27 lol) but still find it suitable to wear at nights, dates with any guy you're trying to flirt etc.

Just tried this in 80-something summer heat. It immediately smells like a blast of intense, sweet honey but something in there is a bit heady and almost headache-inducing. It smells expensive and floral with a definite pronounced syrupy sweetness. Drydown is a bit too earthy for me; I'm not into vetiver. I love the bottle, ad, and the name, but I have a feeling I will like the Absolute better after trying. I rate this a like.

I agree with other reviewers that Goldea Roman Night is a sophisticated fragrance and suitable for office. It's a pleasant floral, tuberose/jasmine scent. Does not last long, even on fabric and I doubt other people could smell it from me. The fragrance truly has a high class, "old money" and mature feel; but it's also very modern and suitable for women in their 20s as well. A safe buy fragrance.

This one surprised me, I really like it from the sample I tried. I'm usually one to stay away from anything even remotely close to a "mature" label, but this scent perfectly draws an air of sophistication without being too mature or "old lady"-like. I just wish it projected better and lasted longer because this scent (and the bottle) are so beautiful.

I used to say that I wish there was a candle that smells like when you first step into Ulta. That mix of all the different perfumes and hair products that somehow mix together harmoniously to create the smell of... I don't even know. It just smells so good in there. Anyway, that's exactly what this perfume smells like.

I was so happy to finally get my hands on this, but it's almost identical to Luciano Soprani's Jolie Princess. This one is a little more bitter due to the pepper, but it's almost the same. It's a beautiful fruity chypre. I wish it had more staying power because it's such a lovely scent.

Lovely musky scent, classy and soft. Starts off with a gentle spice then the white flowers and musk come through in the dry down. A safe office type perfume. Its a pity its so fleeting but I will be trying on clothing to see how it performs before giving up on this one.

I think it's quite modest and good. It isn't too much of a night time scent, despite the dark bottle, smells easy-going enough to wear it at daytime. Spicy and floral mostly, smells interesting enough to me. Very good, the best from Goldea line so far.

What an intoxicating scent!!! A great concoction created in a magical lab... the juicy mulberry along with the night blooming jasmin. Too good to be true! The best part of it is that it remains light without any cloyiness.
