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-Foug猫re. 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.

Solid craftsmanship sounds great! Spectacular scents are often a bit too much for my everyday life, no matter how excited I might be at first. :馃榾

You really have to have a thing for this intense green. Galbanum can quickly become overwhelming, but I like it in Vol de Nuit.

Sounds great to me, since I really like galbanum and classic scents in general, although I found Grey Flannel a bit too serious.

Grey Flannel is definitely different, more complex, aromatic, and sharper, but also better. This one shouldn't be underestimated either.

I get it, it's too masculine for me. Just like you describe it. I can unmistakably recognize galbanum by the reaction on my lips and tongue. Not so much by the scent like you do. However, I wouldn't necessarily miss coumarin either.

You're right: It might be too masculine for you, although it could definitely pass as unisex.

A fragrance with tobacco is actually something for me! But the heavy green notes really throw a wrench in the works! Maybe I should give it a try anyway!?

I think if you're interested in tobacco scents, this wouldn't be your first choice. It's not that distinct for me.

So far, I've been avoiding writing a review, but your perfect description has inspired me. The sweet note took away some of the excitement for me, but I was rewarded with a hint of galbanum (a bit timidly). Great reference to Grey Flannel, which remains out of reach. Trophy from the other Mattiaker.

Silvana just knows how to do it. But the fact that she discontinued my Macadam really hurts a bit. She probably can't get the raw materials anymore, or maybe the IFRA has something against it.
