Carrot rarely appears in fine perfumery, yet this composition commits fully to that earthy, slightly sweet root note alongside orange peel, Italian mandarin, Guatemalan cardamom, grapefruit, and ivy right from the very first spray. Iris, freesia, palisander rosewood, and jasmine join that carrot through the middle hours, an unusual combination that never quite behaves the way convention suggests it should. Amber, musk, Virginian cedar, and patchouli take over by the dry down, warm and earthy enough to anchor everything unpredictable that came before.
Romeo Gigli Profumi Perfume suits evening wear and formal occasions especially well as an aromatic woody Eau De Parfum, rewarding anyone willing to sit with its considerable oddity rather than simply dismiss it outright as strange or unwearable.
