"Oh Romeo, Romeo, Romeo...
...why are you Romeo?
For my sake deny your father, and renounce your name, or do not want, and swear to me only your love, and I will no longer be a Capulet."
So urgently Julia speaks in the second scene of the second act with her beloved.
She lays not only her heart on him, but herself at his feet (and on the cobblestones of the old town of Verona).
William Shakespeare lets us be witnesses in skillful words and suffer with the ah, so young couple.
Over and over again gladly!
"Oh Romeo, Romeo!" I also say, but I mean the scent of the same name from Romeo Gigli.
I remember that at the beginning of the nineties I bought many miniatures only for their appearance and fit for the type case.
This also explains why there is still relatively much of the content left unchanged in this very decorative bottle: this Romeo was a follower!
So I tried again and again in the last months to befriend myself with this Romeo.
I encounter a successful fragrance composition that exudes the zeitgeist of the era from which it originated.
A fresh start for tropical fruits - a little bit of everything: here and there taken out of their baskets during a market stroll and cleverly mixed, with basil setting a first exclamation mark.
Basil with its slightly peppery spice and the student flower make the difference to many siblings of this time.
A generously bound bouquet of summer flowers follows this opening.
Carnation, jasmine and the cassia, which always reminds me of rain of gold (somehow they are also related over several corners; botanists probably know that) determine the first steps in this southern flower garden.
The path leads past the lovely orange blossom - always beautiful to experience -; we encounter strongly scented freesia, bedded on green leaf cushions, the proud iris and, while strolling around, meet some hidden flowering lilies of the valley.
These make you forget your location and throw true scent salvos into the summer heat.
Who says they're just "the little flower by the wayside"? Hach, my ass!
The large Rose Roundel with its flower majesties proudly wearing their flower crowns harmoniously rounds off this fragrant walk.
This impressive flower flock is thoroughly feminine, but gets along surprisingly well with each other.
There's nothing here about aroma-biting bitch warfare.
The iris root would probably dampen it a little before the smoky spice of the trilogy of sandalwood, benzoin and a nice dose of frankincense is added.
The summery scent painting fits well into the frame of the basic scents, so that the result can be seen or better developed on the skin.
For me, "Romeo" is a fragrance experience in which there is a lot of craftsmanship, but which, in its time and even now, still lacks that certain something.
I miss a trace of romance, however it should have looked like Perhaps Romeo Gigli and his perfumer should have questioned the genie a little more in detail; this guy kept the secret of spreading a special spell to himself!
The content - yes, it is beautiful, but there were too many of its kind at that time! - is still far below the expectations that the eye-catcher of Flacon arouses.
So my sighing sounds "Oh, Romeo!" instead of longing, rather a little disappointed.
This Romeo does not lure me to Verona and to the courtyard of Casa Giulia and I almost fear that Juliet would not step on the balcony because of him. Unless she just had nothing else to do.
But it was still worth a try today!
