Romeo Romeo Gigli 1989 Eau de Parfum
Very helpful Review
Freigeist
It was by chance that I "stumbled" upon this fragrance online not too long ago.
A quick search on Parfumo later, it was wrapped up, not least because of the bottle.
Simple yet with a wink, the smoke flag cap, which in my opinion skillfully skirts around kitsch.
Moreover, the 80s have shaped my scent preferences and produced several perfumes that I still love - if they still exist.
After Romeo Gigli passed me by unnoticed back then, this experience should now be made up for.
Romeo is clearly a child of its time, appearing quite antiquated in today’s fragrance landscape.
It is predictably not sweet at all, and the citrus notes in the top note pass by me unnoticed.
From the very beginning, I perceive it as quite herbal and once again note that Tagetes, which is also referred to as "Stinkerle" in our area, develops rather unpleasantly on me in all the fragrances that contain it.
All the wonderful flowers like freesia, cassia, iris, or rose, which I love individually, unfortunately cannot steer the ship in their entirety.
Nevertheless, Romeo possesses an opulent richness that exerts a certain fascination on me.
The intensely orange Chloe from the 70s, launched by Karl Lagerfeld, comes to mind. Here, I find certain olfactory parallels.
Although I wouldn’t buy Romeo for its characterful scent, it captivates me in a sentimental way with so many memories and associations that the purchase was worthwhile for that reason alone.
And the bottle with its pretty cap always brings a smile to my face.
The wind blows where it wants.
