Notte Romana Borsari 1870 1939

After a slightly bitter-sweet opening, a floral, slightly smoky note joins in. The scent reminds me of an Italian chapel with large white lilies at the altar. Despite their size, they appear so delicate and innocently pure. A young Signorina kneels in one of the empty pews, dressed in black and covered with a headscarf. She prays devoutly to herself. Candles burn everywhere in the darkness of the chapel. The fragrant scent of the lilies and the smoke from the many candles underlines the glorious silence of this place.

What might she be thinking and including in her prayers? About the upcoming evening with a grand dance party in the piazza. The many beautiful male Roman temptations that she must resist. No, truly, no one can expect that. She is young, curious about life and love.

Just a final prayer, and then straight home to prepare beautifully for the evening. A light summer dress, a pair of chic sandals, her hair tied up in a playful ponytail, and off to the beautiful piazza decorated with many roses, where joy and exuberance can be lived. A warm Roman night, a few hot kisses that will be remembered in sweet dreams, a little sin is allowed.

But only enough so that one can still enter the chapel next Sunday with a smile and a clear conscience.

A fragrance that is incredibly soapy clean and delicate on one side, and simultaneously sweetly seductive on the other. In any case, the scent notes flow beautifully and are very interesting. The longevity also leaves nothing to be desired, lasting at least eight hours.
