by Bvlgari
Rock'N'Rome by Bvlgari opens with a bright, zesty apricot note that feels more dry and slightly bitter rather than juicy, evoking a citrus rind or candied apricot without sweetness. It quickly evolves into a warm, softly spiced amber base with a subtle woody lift, enhanced by a delicate floral hint and a creamy, dry benzoin dry-down. The scent is smooth and clean, with a soft, understated sophistication that lingers faintly through the evening. Despite being described as unisex in theory, most find it feminine and appropriate for daytime or summer settings, with very modest sillage and brief longevity. The fragrance is notably weak in projection, fading quickly after the initial burst and leaving little trace beyond a faint, pleasant ghost of apricot and wood. Its subtle character makes it ideal for settings where a light, non-intrusive presence is preferred, such as offices or casual daytime wear. While the perfume is clean and gentle, it lacks depth and staying power—many note that it vanishes within hours, with the benzoin note being the only lasting impression.
