Goldea The Roman Night Bvlgari perfume – a fragrance for women 2017

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!
