Rose Goldea
It starts on pomegranate. It ends, hours later, on incense. Bvlgari Rose Goldea is everything that happens in between.

Pomegranate‑kissed roses on a musky, smoky base
On paper this composition contrasts a sharp citrus burst from bergamot with the juicy tartness of pomegranate, while the heart leans heavily on damask rose, Turkish rose and jasmine. The roses provide a lush, powdery floral core, and the jasmine adds a crisp, green edge, creating a scent that feels both opulent and restrained, with the fruit top keeping it lively.
The drydown leans on white musk, sandalwood and incense, delivering a warm, woody depth softened by a subtle smoky veil. Accords of rose, musky, fruity and powdery reinforce the elegant profile. Priced at $80 for 100 ml, it sits in a mid‑range bracket, making it a relatively accessible option for those drawn to a refined rose‑musky blend.
A fragrant journey from bright fruit to deep, smoky musk, offering a polished rose experience without venturing into overt sweetness.

How it moves
The first breath is pomegranate, musk and bergamot, and it is loud about it. Underneath, damask rose, Turkish Rose and jasmine settle in and take over. It dries down to white musk, sandalwood and incense, close to the skin and hard to forget.
Who made it
Alberto Morillas composed it in 2016, for Bvlgari in Italy. Rose Goldea sets Damask and Turkish rose against a white musk and pomegranate frame, the best-loved of Bvlgari's Goldea trilogy.
