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
