Mistero di Roma Donna

When I first bought this about 3-4 years ago, in the late summer, I thought this was a gorgeous scent for summer evenings. I really felt its mysterious, a bit sexy and elegant vibe. To me, then it smelled like vanilla and something nutty (almonds truly perhaps!) and sage, strangely enough, but it fitted my mental image of Italy/ Rome as the setting for the scent. However, at some point after about a year, the scent changed its character completely to my perspective. It became a nice, clean, ladylike everyday scent for those moments when you just want to feel like a very together, calm, elegant but no-fuzz woman. Now, to me it smells like sugar biscuits (not cookies, mind you!) with afternoon tea! Therefore I like to wear it on cold, rainy days, to give them a bit more comfort. It feels very warm, but not overwhelming. I think, it might be discontinued, which I find quite sad, but although I love it, I think there are some perfumes with a similar aura out there, helping me to say goodbye.

mmmm... Mistero di Roma is mysterious indeed ;-) I love this perfume! It changes from delicious fruity smell to a bit dark, warm and kind of seductive scent. I think it's a sensual fragrance without being loud about it. Very feminine. Glad i've bought it! The name, the box, the bottle are also very appealing. Stylish and italian as it should be.

i don't smell any citrus at all. To me it is Vanilla, Amber and Myrr... it is warm and sweet. A little caramel maybe? something floral to lighten it up. i really like it, but when i use it too often it makes my nose tingly...

It opens with a strong citrusy note, but immediately changes into something warm, cosy and feminine with a pinch of some stronger notes in the background. I love this! Sensuality at its best.

Discontinued in Italy!:-( i loved it so much...
