Goldea The Roman Night Absolute

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, in a bustling Roman café where the warmth of spiced plum and vanilla mingles with earthy woods.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Bvlgari and crafted by Alberto Morillas, Goldea The Roman Night Absolute is a chypre floral that captures the essence of an Italian evening. This composition opens with plum and orange blossom, bringing a sweet yet fresh contrast to the palate. As it evolves, Madagascar vanilla and jasmine sambac add warmth and depth, while patchouli and black musk ground the scent with their earthy richness. The interplay between fruity sweetness and woody musk creates an elegant complexity that is both captivating and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The fruity notes fade within a couple of hours but the musky base lasts much longer, making it perfect for evening wear.
