Rose Goldea (2016)
by Bulgari

The opening is a mix of fruity, floral and a musky undertone. The fruity side combines the pomegranate, which is not bad, with a slight whiff of mandarine. The floral side is represented by a rose, and the musky is not deep and sinister, but a white and quite bright musk. This opening phase is lovely, with a modicum of originality and well executed.

The drydown spins the rose theme further; is is a bright and light rose, not very rich or deep;
Moremonnthe light-hearted and frivolous side. Jasmine and moment of violet leaf are also present.

The base is the least exciting phase, with a somewhat nonspecific musky core and a thin synthetic chord constituting he core of it; not very convincing.

He sillage is moderate, the projection very good and the longevity six hours on my skin.

Overall this flanker is more impressive than the original, with the first half being not without creative touches, and whilst the latter stages are more average, overall this deserves a positive score. 3/5.
