Freethinker

The coincidence wanted it that I "stumbled" not so long ago online about this fragrance.
A short search at Parfumo later he was bagged, not least because of the flacon.
Simple and yet with a wink, the smoke bunting lid, which in my opinion confidently past the kitsch.
In addition, the 80s have me dufttechnisch preformed and brought forth some perfumes that I still love - if they still exist.
After Romeo Gigli passed by me unnoticed at the time, this experience should now be made up for.

Romeo is clearly a child of his time, which makes itself richly antiquated in today's fragrance landscape.
He is as expected absolutely not sweet and also the citrusy parts of the top note pass me by unnoticed.
I feel him from the outset as quite herbaceous-herbaceous and find once again that Tagetes, which in our area is also called "Stinkerle", in all fragrances that contain it, develops on me rather unattractive.
All the wonderful flowers like freesia, cassia, iris or rose, which I love so much individually, can unfortunately not turn the tide in their entirety.

Nevertheless, Romeo has an opulent fullness that exerts a certain fascination on me.
The intense orange Chloe comes to mind, which was launched in the seventies by Karl Lagerfeld. Here there are certain olfactory parallels for me.
Although I wouldn't buy Romeo for its characterful scent, it draws me in in a sentimental way with so many memories and associations that it was worth buying for that reason alone.
And the bottle with its pretty lid always elicits a smile from me.

The wind blows where it wants.
