A shy touch of elegance...
Purchased a week ago in Munich, worn a week, a week of mixed feelings. After a long time I got some advice in a well known perfumery in Munich and on my remark that Bleu de Chanel is my absolute favourite scent, I was allowed to smell some fragrances. There were fragrances from Atkinsons, Memo Paris and also Philly&Phill. From a selection of about 10 fragrances of all price ranges, there were many interesting ones. I tried not to look on the internet to avoid being influenced by the scents
My nose then convinced me of Romeo on the Rocks. A wonderfully fresh, somewhat sweetish attack quickly turns into a little lemon, combined with woody notes and musk. A great, fresh combination and overall a really successful fragrance that I like to wear.
BUT...the durability and sillage are an absolute joke for 149 Euro. It's partly because of me and my skin, because I love fresh and elegant scents, but they never last very long. Even with BdC, for example, I have to re-spray and even with the fresher scents of ATH, which actually have a great durability, my skin eats up the scent. With Romeo on the Rocks however, the Sillage is not noticeable even with 5-10 spraying impacts 30cm. Today I sprayed the scent at 2pm, went for a walk in the city, went shopping and had something to eat, got home at 6pm and I could only guess a tiny whiff of the scent.
I understand that the fragrance wants to be fresh and unobtrusive, but there is so much more potential in the fragrance. Give that thing more h/p and I'll buy it right back. But this will be my last 100ml bottle (unfortunately it was not smaller). Instead, I'm going to look at other scents from the same house, because there seem to be a few good scents with appealing H/S on the market.
Apart from that, it can be said in conclusion that the fragrance is really very pleasant and elegant, but due to its lack of sillage and durability, it loses some of its credit He seems like he wants to, but can't... as well as he should, but can't.
