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

One of the best rose perfumes you can get if you like soft, dewy, fruity with a delicate dry down. It's an intimate scent and sticks close to skin. Lasted about 6 hours. The wind still manages to carry your scent with this. Not reminiscent of the elderly imo, but I love rose. I genuinely believe all ages can wear this. It's a linear scent and smells like you took a bath with an expensive soap made of fruits and tons and tons of freshly picked pink roses. The peony and the base notes make this a dream. My mom adores this and she's in her 60s and it smells even better on her than me. On me it smells soapy, on her it smells like the most delicate bath water. It will be her next present! Love Bvlgari Edit: gifted it to my mom and she just adores it! She smells divine

Perfect bedtime rose ! And trust me, I am a rose collector ! Soft, but full bodied pink rose, without much else added, maybe a hint of jasmine, and a hint of peony . Luckily I do not smell the musk which I don't like usually , as it brings laundry detergent to mind. There are also no violets added , the typical offender for powderiness . Much more natural smelling than I expected, given the multitude of notes and fancy, kid of tacky , bottle. Oh, but I do love rose gold, so this is nice. Overall a gorgeous , polite, innofensive, classy, full bodied rose scent, with average to low lasting power and silage. Nothing amazing, just beautiful, nice, calm. And yes. It does remind of Chloe Roses .

Very pretty rose perfume. It will be a keeper in my collection. The longevity works differently for me in different climates. It lasts longer for me in the warmer months and smells nicer on my skin in the warmer climate. I normally have dry skin, but this lasts for ages on me in the warmer climate. The scent is beautiful. I sprayed this on tissue wrapping paper for my cousins wedding gift and her first response was “oh my god what is that? That smells beautiful”. Very feminine elegant woman scent. Something you’d wear to a high tea or when wearing a pretty floral/summer dress.

Soozatzkas review is spot on: This is as much a sandalwood scent like a rose scent. Now in winter I smell more spicy sandalwood and musky rose than in spring. Olibanum also stands out clearly. In warmer seasons also the peony and the jasmine note appear, which mix wonderful with the rose (but still with a woody undertone). But I love to wear Rose Goldea in the cold winter: a sublime rose queen who has grown proudly, and also a little thorny, not girly or too innocent, with the sweet promise of the coming spring.

This is just a quick addition to the other reviews. I see where there are numerous votes for smelling like Roses de Chloe. I agree for the most part. However, Chloe florals always come out super sharp and pretty much stay that way. My chemistry and nose do not like them. Now having said that, I do not find Roses Goldea sharp at all....at least nowhere near the sharpness of Roses de Chloe. Alberto Morillas did a super job when creating this lovely rose fragrance!

When he kindly asked me to choose a gift from his business trip I replied: a new fragrance! No matter what it was but feminine, according to him. I was hoping (secretly) for J'Adore Absolu, he bought me Rose Goldea instead. I'm speechless. I couldn't have received a more marvelous gift! Rose Goldea to me is an airy, ethereal, subtle, in some ways crispy perfume of roses as none of mine. It's exquisite. Timid, shy yet daring in revealing femininity. And grace.

The past six years or so have added a lot of rose in their perfumes especially in Flankers for the popular lines. Rose Goldea stands out as a more classy refined fragrance that's for a slightly more mature (25 and over, not old) woman. Of course if you're younger, please indulge of you love. It's sillage and longevity is enormous but it's such a classy scent it doesn't offend. I find this to be seasonal but more of a daytime scent. Try it!

This is a wonderful rose scent, soft, dewy, musky. I detect rose, peony, jasmine, musk, creamy sandalwood and a hint of peach (it reminds me of Idylle Eau Sublime) and olibanum. All the notes are blended masterfully. It's extremely elegant and very feminine. It could be a perfect sophisticated signature scent for rose lovers. The rose is such an elegant note in perfumes. The bottle is beautiful as well. Alberto Morillas never disappoints.

This is for Green/fresh Rose lovers. I am. Rose Essentiale is gorgeous, and sadly discontinued. This is supposed to be the replacement for that Rosey place. It will definitely fill the need... but it is not the same as Rose Essentiale. Gorgeous fresh green rose, perfectly blended with peony, jasmine, a touch of musk. This fragrance is truly beautiful. Sadly it doesn’t last as long as I’d like. Wonderful Rose

I really want it now after testing it in a shop! I really like it! It is not too complex, but it is beautiful. It is elegant, feminine, kind of fresh, sweet and woody. It would be perfect for both a night out and for everyday use. Both winter and summer! I also think both a 20-year old and a 40-year old could wear this. And I also think a lot of men would like this perfume on women.. :)

A very pretty fragrance for rose lovers! This is a fresh rose with a subtle fruity touch (pomegranate), quite romantic and even a little innocent. I don't find it old-fashioned at all - I just think some people automatically associate rose with grandmothers out of habit. But honestly, it's a truly lovely rose scent for those who love this flower. For me, it's a bit of a mini crush!

Gorgeous rose perfume! I love the opening: fresh, divine roses that float around me like a cloud. After a few hours the roses start disappearing and I'm left alone with a slightly soapy, inoffensive fragrance that it's not bad, but doesn't have any roses... time to reapply :) Anyway, I'm going through a rose stage right now and I can't get enough of them. I truly love this puppy!

I love this perfume I used to wear Jean Paul Gaultier's Fragile Eu de toilette and was gutted when it was discontinued! Bvlgari's Rose Goldea reminds me of that perfume not just in the way it smells but in how I feel when I wear it its truly a delightful perfume and the best £100 iv ever spent on perfume and the 90 mill bottle has pride of place on my bedside table.

I don’t care other people call this a boring rose. Sometimes you had wearing complex, seductive perfume for too long, you need to change to simple, all season, all occasion perfume. Rose Goldea is your choice. Rose Goldea can be a serious perfume that send out message, a clean, well-behave lady, no nasty drugs and sex night out. Office appropriate.

Beautiful bottle, beautiful old-pink color, beatiful composition of roses with sandalwood. Staying power is suprisingly good, about 12 hours! Very elegant scent, can be worn with nice elegant dress, high heels and white pearls on neck. I do believe as previously mentioned, for some reason, men will like this scent. So happy to own Rose Goldea.
