Green Sky
Romeo is actually a very simple fragrance: it is primarily green. After the opening with rosemary, galbanum quickly comes into play, remaining noticeable for as long as the scent lasts, which is quite a while. The tobacco note is plausible but not necessarily easy to identify, as galbanum resin is consistently present. The olfactory characteristic of galbanum (galbanum resin) manifests in a fresh yet very dark green note. Specifically, the scent for me lies between damp grass and a resinous-oily tone. Axiomatic describes the fragrance here as Neo-Fougère. I would agree with that, as although the classic coumarin note is not present, there is still a note reminiscent of hay that is both bitter and sweet in "Romeo | Il Profvmo." The sweet and bitter tobacco note also fits into this context, blending well with the aforementioned components.
By the way, I can also relate to DaveGahan's description, who characterized the scent as gray. However, I wouldn't associate this with negative connotations; instead, I think of fabric made from gray flannel, perhaps even "Grey Flannel (Eau de Toilette) | Geoffrey Beene," which is more complex and probably better.
I like the scent because it incorporates classic components while also forging new paths, fitting beautifully into the portfolio of Il Profvmo. One should not expect anything spectacular. However, those who appreciate solid craftsmanship might enjoy it.

Is “Biedermann” a compliment for you?
The only one who listens to you is your gray-haired dachshund?

Then finally take Romeo from Il Profumo and you practically have a
invisibility cloak, which salespeople in Media Markt have long perfected, now you can spray it on, no one will ever approach you again, no matter where. So what are you waiting for? It’s probably available on the gray market too...

The scent: A boring, aftershave-like scent, without charm and without pep, alcoholic and pale-spicy, a lavender sachet from the health food store is more exciting.

Neo-Fougère: sweet rosemary (too bad), beautiful ripe tobacco note and timid galbanum.

Starts herbal, but I wouldn't have guessed rosemary; tobacco and galbanum fit in. Stays true to the theme. Not bad.

Sweet-spicy tobacco, herbal green, and a touch of galbanum resin. Quite a linear progression. It's okay, but doesn't fully convince.

After a relaxing herbal bath, pack a pipe and enjoy the peace in the leather chair. Thank goodness for the bath lift! Pleasant.

Sweet-green, spicy-soft tobacco scent that unfairly flies under the radar.
Similar to Krigler's Cosy Cedar Wood.

Warm rosemary combined with subtly spicy tobacco dominates barely noticeable leather. Not for young lads...

Beautiful rosemary (a bit like a cold bath), warm resinous spicy > galbanum, leather, slightly sweet tobacco. I like it. But on a young man? More like a retired Romeo.
