Rose Goldea

Very beautiful bottle with romantic scent. Initially, I was only planning to test the scent in the store but ended up buying a 100ml bottle because the bottle is too beautiful not to own. I tested the BVLGARI Goldea (yellow bottle from 2015) before and found the scent quite delightful. However, when I saw the 2016 version Rose Goldea face-to-face, I couldn't help but fall in love with the look of the bottle instantly. It is like a jewelry! Many perfumes bottles are beautiful but I don't know, maybe it's the way they present it in store, making this bottle stands out as extremely elegant & unique. It took me 30 mins to decide whether to get the Goldea from 2015 or the new Rose Goldea. Store lady said Rose Goldea is more youthful and sweet while the 2015 Goldea is slightly more mature with stronger character. To me, I actually like the Goldea smell better at first for its opening note but I like the middle note more when it comes to the Rose Goldea bottle. In the end, I chose the Rose Goldea (2016 pink bottle) for 3 reasons: 1) Goldea 2015 seems more of a winter scent to me and Rose Goldea will work all year round. 2) Pink bottle looks just prettier with it rose gold and all that 3) It seems right that Rose Goldea is fresher scented, does smell more youthful - wear youthful scent when you can cuz u can always wear more mature perfume later on in life :p So there it is a beautiful piece of jam with the delightful scent. My nose detect mostly a beautiful mixture of rose, musk, vanilla and sandalwood :)

Just spectacular! I had just "scrolled through" this one without paying any attention (for some reason I thought it would be like D&G:s Rose Excelsa, which is fine, but kind of hollow) and I had a chance to buy it. And it blows me away right now. The opening has got something I have never smelled in a rose fragrance before - it ́s a bit sour, woody, resinous. Believe me, it does turn soft and rosy, but it ́s so much more than a pink or fresh rose. The musk is very intense in the beginning as well. Pomegranate is usually very nice to me, tart and sour, but never shrill. Here as well. A lovely, lovely jasmin that I smell almost as intensely as I do the rose. Perfectly "watery" peach, like a more subtle version of the peach in Idylle Eau Sublime, which is rosy and musky as well. Actually, this is what Idylle Sublime would smell had it developed nicer, had it become grown-up and sensual (which it doesn ́t). Maybe the olibanum is behind this sensuality together with the sandalwood, which here is super nice quality, like in Santal Majuscule, but way softer, of course. Bvlgari makes such subtle scents and even though their silage is usually low key they last and last. I barely smell the vanilla, which is just the way I like vanilla. What a lovely, lovely surprise!

Bvlgari Rose Goldea is a vibe on its own and just needs the right skin chemistry to shine brightly. I am usually drawn to scents that are loud and in your face but Bvlgari Rose Goldea literally mesmerized me to the point I found myself going back 30 minutes after spritzing it on my skin to buy the 90ml bottle. Normally, I would be focused on sillage because I like people to get a whiff of what I smell like. This perfume smells so good on me: rosey, fruity, sweet in a mature way and pretty. I just felt pretty, sophisticated and expensive without being over-the-top while wearing this scent. I had a sense of being someone who knew a secret others didn’t know and that made me smile. If you are lucky to have the right skin chemistry like I do for this perfume to shine, get yourself 2 bottles if you can get it on discount and enjoy smelling like an expensive rose garden with a fruity, musky twist. This perfume makes me happy and I am so glad I came across it and gave it a chance instead of judging it by the poor reviews from others. I live in a warm climate and it is holding itself very well. The bottle is very pretty and elegant so it looks great on my dresser amidst my other collections of great finds.

such a stunning full bloom rose, it isnt made to be surprising or inovative and a lot of people expect that from the designer houses i guess. but no, here we are met with classicaly beautiful roses, boudoir powdery and romantic, a really soft trail that is refined and well stablished. if youre looking for elegance and femininity you will find it in here. its my favorite rose because it is so balanced and pure and can be easily worn year-round. the bottle is stunning also and i love how it reflects timeless beauty rituals from cleopatra, she came in a boat to visit julius ceasar into which the sails had been drowned in rose water so the perfume arrives before her to make him see her as aphrodite, rose petals were floating in the air too as she arrived, an extravagant presentation deserving of a goddess truly!

Fresh clean floral rose scent. Very pretty, lady like and ultra feminine. It has that french feel to it. Very delicate and romantic scent. It is difficult to describe the notes, I do detect musk but it is a faint whispy refreshing musk not the heavy kind, it smells dewy green floral rose and has a refreshing feel. It is perfect for hot sunny days. I do find it lasts 5 hours on me which is better than expected. I will buy this eventually. Although not the most unique, it is different enough and has an expensive and luxurious feel like all Bvlgaria fragrances. It reminds me of summer romances in open fields, it is very natural and refreshing and rather simplistic but not boring. For me it is one of those fragrances that instantly makes me happy, it has a hopeful carefree happiness about it. 7/10
