Goldea's opening is a somewhat irritating bugspray fruit-chouli with jasmine that smells like a lot of other mall scents. We remember the smell of winter (pines and snow), fall (cider and burning leaves), spring (cut grass and lily of the valley), summer ( sun, sea salt and honeysuckle) even if it's the most trivial thing we still remember its scent-Hanukkah candles, school buses,the smell of rain, Grandma's preference for Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass,etc.

there is a nice musky woody note from the moss and vetiver that i really enjoy with the mulberry to make a nice musky forest type scent. The dry down slightest kiss of gentle powdery sweetness and a hint of mystery to pull you in, but not choke you with heavy over done sex appeal. I bought a large decant and panicked when I saw it was discontinued and on clearance so I jumped at a large full bottle. She loves anything and everything doused in vanilla and appreciates tastefully-done florals and fruit-based fragrances. It isn't too much of a night time scent, despite the dark bottle, smells easy-going enough to wear it at daytime.It only projects at all for about 4 hours max, but it sits on the skin for hours upon hours - you really get the most out of those base notes! It immediately smells like a blast of intense, sweet honey but something in there is a bit heady and almost headache-inducing. It almost feels like this perfume is pretty standard, made for the most crowd to like, and mirrors many perfumes on the mainstream shelves. As the dry down phase approached, things started to get a little chaotic and abrupt; it morphed into a sharp, earthy, and dusty concoction of patchouli, musk and moss, which, if you did not know, adds some sort of a dusty vibe to blend as a whole, and I was never a fan of this phase because with the addition of patchouli too, things got a little out of control as those ingredients do not blend that well together.

After reading so many positive reviews about this perfume, I'm a little scared to share mine that's not so positive. Here is a tip to the genuine fragrance lovers, when reading other frag reviews look for colorful balloon symbols beside reviewers' images this will tell you it's a genuine review, the more ballons you see it's better. Roman Night is less sweet, the sweeter ylang is replaced here by white florals that smell a bit generic/non descript.I wish I could smell the rose a little heavier and I also wish they used turkish rose rather than classic rose to add some floral sweetness as classic rose is a little too mature and powdery and makes my nose itch. Due to the intensity of its notes, this perfume adopts a more seductive profile, clearly for a special event, be it nocturnal moments, special occasions or romantic evenings. It is very easy to find who is spreading real or faux reviews below here, people that know a fragrance, or those that read through the notes/others reviews and copycat their words.
