A designer known for draping fabric in unexpected ways brings that same instinct to scent with Romeo Gigli Perfume, layering marigold, asafoetida, basil, lime, citruses, bergamot, mango, and mandarin orange into an opening as complex as any runway silhouette. The florals arrive next in real number, orange blossom, carnation, jasmine, freesia, cassia, lily of the valley, iris, and rose crowding together before orris root, benzoin, sandalwood, and incense settle everything into warm, resinous territory that holds for hours.
Evening wear and formal occasions suit this oriental floral Eau De Parfum especially well, rewarding anyone patient enough to sit with its considerable layers rather than rushing past them. Romeo Gigli treated fragrance the way he treated fabric, with texture, drape, and real intention behind every single fold of the composition.
