Worth the wait
Mistero di Roma begins powerfully with grapefruit and sour apple... for a second or so, I get a hint of melon, but it disappears so fast that I barely have time to react.
The grapefruit has not been sweetened in any way, it´s just as sour and bitter as it is in real life. And it lasts quite long, probably an hour or two and every time I smell my skin the grapefruit is as strong as in the beginning.
But this is not what makes me so incredibly drawn to Mistero di Roma Donna, but what happens when I move.
One gorgeous scent surrounds me in the room and it is very different from the bitter grapefruit on my arm. In the air I can feel a mixture of citrus, heliotrope and vanilla and I decide right away that I must have more of it!
The basenotes wears a resemblance to the original Roma but is so much lighter and not nearly as spicy. That makes this scent more wearable for me, because I never really know when to use Roma.
Mistero di Roma, I can see myself using every day all year round.
The base is a mix of vanilla(which now has become powdery), amber, and myrrh. Unfortunately, the scent itself is not as strong as it was in the early stages and I no longer feel it in the air when I walk ... but as it stays good for about seven - eight hours, I definitely think it's worth trying to find.
