Romantic

Romantic by Jeanne Arthes is a softly sweet, floral-gourmand fragrance that evokes a delicate, dreamy femininity. It features a harmonious blend of bergamot, freesia, rose, patchouli, tonka bean, and vanilla, developing into a creamy, powdery base with a subtle musky softness. The scent is notably light and easy to wear, offering moderate longevity and a moderate sillage that feels intimate rather than overpowering. It bears strong visual and olfactory connections to Armani Si, particularly in structure and sweetness, though it feels softer and more balanced—less sharp, less overwhelming—making it more accessible for cooler days and casual wear. Many describe it as genuinely affordable and surprisingly sophisticated, with a soft sweet allure that feels elegant and understated rather than cloying. The fragrance stands out for its affordability and perceived quality far beyond its price point. It’s praised for its gentle character, making it ideal for those seeking a minimalist, feminine scent that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. It’s not loud, not bold, but consistently pleasant and wearable—particularly during the day or in late autumn and spring. While some note a lack of development beyond the initial floral-gourmand phase or find the vanilla and tonka less prominent on their skin, the general consensus is one of quiet satisfaction and delight.
