Fragrance Does Not Match the Name or Packaging

One would think with a name like the Roman Night and an elegant black bottle that this would be a dark and mysterious fragrance. But other than the name and the bottle, there is nothing dark here. It is just a simple fruity floral fragrance.

I have tried three fragrances from the Goldea line and find not one stands out. Though simply pretty, they are also somewhat generic, which is a surprise considering the great
Albertos Morillas created them. I have a travel sprayer of this particular scent and while I think this is the nicest out of this line, I don't like it enough to invest in a full bottle.

Mulberry, which I am not a big fan of as it has a very syrupy sweet profile, is the most prominent note, with a mixture of barely there floral notes. The black pepper does nothing to offset the sweetness of the mulberry. It just adds a light aromatic quality. Though patchouli is listed, I am not getting that at all, nor anything earthy, which might have been an improvement. I was hoping that the night blooming jasmine and tuberose would be a little more prominent, but they are not. I do enjoy the musky dry down but can only smell it when I sniff my wrist. Longevity is pretty poor too. I only got about two hours of silage before it became a skin scent.

When I think of a night perfume, I think of something dramatic, maybe even a little animalic. If they had increased the jasmine and tuberose and toned down the mulberry, this might have fallen into that class. As it is, this is just a day wear type scent, which might work well for someone needing to wear something low key, like at work or someplace where you'll be in close quarters. I highly doubt it will offend anyone because I don't think many people will be able to smell it unless they get very close to you. Overall, while this is okay for a daytime scent, if you are looking for something sexy and mysterious, look elsewhere as this is not it. I suggest you try this before you buy.

Not a night scent

If you look at the black and precious bottle you imagine to smell strong and intense night scent....but it isn't so! The fragrance is pleasant, but very light and wearable by day and I don't smell at all the tuberose and night Jasmine notes (at least on my skin). it's a quite good and feminin fragrance , but very evanescent and for this reason I think that the price is too hight in comparison with the product.It's only a precious object to show on the toilette shelf.

Barely there patchouli

This perfume smells strong at first, but within five minutes it evaporates. I smell no tuberose at all, which is beyond strange to me since tuberose is a favorite of mine. I only smell patchouli, which isn’t a favorite.

I’m putting this up until we have a cooler day to try it again, but for now I’m not impressed by this perfume at all. Stay tuned for future edits.

Sillage after one hour: 0
Longevity: 25 minutes
Bottle: misbranded with black
Price: $$$$

I Hate Mulberry Leaf!!!

Good evening, you fragrant bunch. Hm,… let’s rather say you sniffing bunch. When I say “fragrant,” it almost sounds like I’m implying that you smell bad. And since you are all perfume lovers, I don’t assume that you smell bad,… as long as you’re not using bizarre scents like Ylang-Ylang or coriander :D

So… now comes Goldea The Roman Night from the Goldea series, of which I only know the Rose Goldea Blossom Delight, which is a nice scent, but not necessarily an outstanding one.
Anyway, The Roman Night contains the note “mulberry leaf,” which always reminds me of a specific scene from Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies, namely how the two are trained to be police officers and then experience their first autopsy of a corpse. Of course, both are tough and watch without flinching, while Bud Spencer offers his buddy chewing gum. When asked what flavor the gum is, Bud Spencer replies “mulberry leaf,” to which Terence Hill responds, “I hate mulberry leaf!” Hence my title for this fragrance, because I always think of this scene when I hear the term mulberry leaf. This may not seem funny to many, but I remember how I used to search for chewing gums with mulberry leaf flavor, especially as a teenager, not to mention that I had no idea what mulberries even were :DD

But enough of my rambling for now, I don’t want to bore you, so let’s see how this scent is.

The Scent:

At the beginning, I smell a rose-like note, which is also quite powdery, but smells all the more beautiful. There’s a fruity-sweet note that I can’t identify. It has a scent that somewhat resembles blackberries, which might be due to the similarity of mulberries to blackberries. However, I would also venture to say that the fruity notes remind me a bit of currants.
Additionally, I smell intense floral-sweet notes, namely tuberoses (but also jasmine) as well as earthy patchouli, which starts off weak but seems to become more intense.
A little later, another sweetness joins the sweet notes with the musk. The fruity notes gradually fade, but the powdery sweetness remains, as do the floral notes. It actually stays like this until the end and just smells quite nice.

The Sillage and Longevity:

The projection is quite strong at the beginning and leaves a decent scent cloud. However, it loses strength significantly in the next 30 minutes, but still leaves a small scent cloud, so you’ll be noticed for a while. Nevertheless, I found the longevity to be generally not that high. While you can smell it for over eight hours, for half of that time it seemed a bit weak to me.

The Bottle:

The bottle is round and shiny black. On the front, you can see the name of the fragrance and the brand in golden letters. The neck is adorned with embedded black stones that resemble the shell of a turtle. The cap is disc-shaped and transparent. Overall, it’s a beautiful bottle that also comes across as elegant.

The Conclusion:

So, this Bvlgari has turned out to be a very nice fragrance that smells beautifully floral and sweet. While the sweet notes come across as fruity at the beginning, the sweetness becomes “darker” as the fragrance develops and smells of musk, making the scent not only pleasant but also more elegant.

Therefore, I would say that this fragrance could be great for going out. Or for the evening in general. But I wish it were a little stronger for that, but well, that’s just how it is. Still, it’s definitely worth a try! So don’t let my title confuse you, because the scent of mulberry leaf here (or the berry scent in general at the beginning of the fragrance) is very nice, and I’m sure that mulberry leaf or mulberries don’t taste bad at all :D
(It could also be that I’ve devoured those things thinking they were blackberries, who knows, anything is possible! :D).

So… what else? Oh yes,… you can scratch another line in your calendars because this was one of my rare comments on a women’s fragrance where I unusually didn’t complain or grumble about women (or did both) :DD Which, of course, means that next time I’ll have to complain even more!!

Well then, I wish you all a lovely evening and see you next time :D

False Expectations

Well Goldea, here we are. We need to talk, you said. Hmm… We’ve been together for exactly a year now. I saw you the winter before, on vacation at the airport. Your bottle was so sexy, black, elegant, and curvy. And your name was so promising: The Roman Night! Okay, I’ve never been to Rome, but I imagine the nights there to be hot and romantic, a bit wicked and mysterious.

Yes, my fault, I admit it. A few months later, you made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, 20% off in the sale! I already knew a few relatives from your honorable family, and so you moved in with me. On our first date, we went to a Spanish restaurant, which you shouldn’t do with a proud Roman woman. After an hour, you disappeared, and I was left sitting alone.

The second time, I took you to a public viewing, thinking every Italian woman loves football! Yes, I know Italy wasn’t even in the World Cup, but Germany wasn’t either at that point! You left me again soon after. I tried one more time with you, a romantic dinner at an Italian restaurant, I have no idea what you didn’t like, but you were gone faster than a street thief!

Oh, that evening it was just too hot for you, sure. You know what, Goldea? I don’t think you’re a going-out fragrance at all. What, you never claimed that? And your name? Well, you can’t help that, you’re right. It comes from the jasmine that blooms at night and from peony and musk that are sometimes black, but to me, they don’t smell very different from the lighter version. The very sweet opening probably comes from the mulberry, and I thought you were just buttering me up with honey.

Maybe we just don’t match. Aha, you think so too? Because I once said you smell so much better on my blouse than on me? Not so sweet and a bit cloying but much more delicate, floral creamy, really beautiful, sigh.
Do you think we should try again together? Maybe during the day on clothes, when it’s not so warm? Okay, and then we’ll talk about it again!
