Bvlgari Rose Goldea

Mostly the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on rose, musk and pomegranate, moves through damask rose, peony and jasmine, and settles on musk, sandalwood and olibanum.

• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used
• musk: soft, warm and skin-like. More the impression of clean skin than a smell of its own

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
