About This Perfume
Think creamy floral night bloom on black musk: that is Bvlgari Goldea The Roman Night. It opens with mulberry and black peony, moves into tuberose absolute and night-blooming jasmine and settles on black musk, patchouli and vetiver. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $240.

Scent profiles of the picks
For Bvlgari Man In Black (Eau de Parfum, 2014), expect dark rum, smoky tobacco and leather-leaning sweetness: rum and tobacco up top, gaiac wood, tonka bean and benzoin underneath. Bvlgari Black (Eau de Parfum, 1998) comes across as smoky leather jacket, green tea and cedar warmth, with green tea and bergamot at the start and leather, vanilla and amber at the base. Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc (2003) reads as fresh white tea, peppery florals and bergamot breeze, opening on tea and artemisia and drying down to musk, jasmine and amber.
