Key Notes of Goldea
What Does Goldea Smell Like
Goldea by Bvlgari for women starts off with an initial hint of crystal musk, a slightly sweet and somewhat powdery scent that's delicately light. This is swiftly accompanied by a tangy note of fresh bergamot, lending a citrusy twang to the perfume. The bergamot is entwined with a gentle yet noticeable touch of ripe raspberry, introducing a fruity zest.
The perfume then evolves into its heart notes, where a thicker layer of musk weaves itself in, creating a smoother, richer dimension to the scent profile. This enhanced muskiness pairs delightfully with the tropical fragrance of ylang-ylang, amplifying the perfume's floral tones. The slightly sweet and heady aroma of jasmine is present but somewhat overshadowed by the dominant musk and ylang-ylang duo.
As the fragrance settles, it's the musk again that comes to the forefront, this time paired with a warm and slightly spicy amber. The earthy and woody aroma of patchouli weaves its way in, adding a grounding depth to the perfume. Lastly, the subtle note of Egyptian papyrus, although not overtly detectable, seems to lend a unique dryness to the composition, giving Goldea a distinct oriental edge.
Review of Goldea
Goldea by Bvlgari is a decidedly feminine scent with a sweet and floral heart. Originating in 2015, this perfume quickly gained a reputation for its captivating blend of fragrances that serve to create a truly enjoyable olfactory experience. Despite its sweet overtone, it doesn't overpower but subtly mesmerizes with an underlying fruity freshness.
The scent opens with a delightful powdery touch, which soon gives way to a more oriental mood. This combination gives Goldea an unexpected twist, making it a perfume that stands out in a crowd. A hint of gourmand and synthetic notes serve to enhance the perfume's complexity without making it overwhelming.
Its longevity is significant, but not overpowering, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a scent that stays with them throughout the day without becoming intrusive. The sillage is moderate, meaning the perfume leaves a trail, but it's not one to fill a room.
While it's true that Goldea shines in the fall, its versatility allows for year-round wear. It has a comforting warmth that's perfect for cooler days, yet its fruity freshness makes it suitable for spring and even summer.
As for the occasions it suits, Goldea is truly adaptable. It works just as well for a casual day out as it does for a night on the town or a business meeting. However, its sweetness might be a bit too forward for those looking for a strictly professional scent.
In terms of value, Goldea offers a fair deal considering the unique fragrance profile it delivers. However, some might find its scent to be somewhat synthetic. But if you are a woman who loves sweet, floral, and somewhat oriental perfumes, Goldea by Bvlgari is definitely worth it.
