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.
