Bvlgari
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The mulberry arrives with a dark, jammy ripeness—almost preserved-fruit intensity—immediately tempered by black peony's cool, slightly dusty florality. Within moments, you're inhaling something that feels less like a conventional floral fragrance and more like crushed petals steeped in something faintly wine-dark.
Tuberose absolute and night-blooming jasmine bloom into something almost painfully creamy, those floral notes thickening and becoming nearly custard-like against the creamy accord. The sweetness (88%) becomes pronounced here, not candy-like but more like honeyed stone fruit, creating a lush, enveloping cloud that feels almost edible in its density.
The florals gradually withdraw, leaving behind a cool, slightly austere base of black musk and patchouli that feels almost skeletal by comparison. Vetiver adds a final whisper of mineral dryness, whilst the musk remains deliberately cool and slightly powdery—what remains is less glamorous and more like the ghost of the fragrance, faintly animalic and somewhat aloof.
Goldea The Roman Night is a fragrance caught between two worlds—neither fully nocturnal nor entirely luminous. Alberto Morillas constructs something deliberately paradoxical: a floral that smells like darkness itself, which is precisely where its intrigue resides.
The mulberry and black peony opening announces itself with a fruited darkness, those top notes arriving with an almost jammy density rather than the usual bright pop of citrus. There's something slightly fermented about it, a wine-dark quality that immediately signals this won't be a conventional white floral. The tuberose absolute and night-blooming jasmine that follow are the fragrance's true declaration of intent—these aren't the airy, transparent florals you might expect. Instead, they're rendered thick and creamy by that 64% creamy accord, nearly syrupy in their presentation. The tuberose especially takes on an almost custard-like texture, whilst the night jasmine becomes something velvety, almost animalic.
