A musky composition on which we would have delicately laid a bouquet of white flowers. Romantina is an ode to insouciance. But when she suddenly reveals its true personality, it flirts with patchouli, almost giving it a hint of chypré…

HOW IT WEARS
Romantina is an Eau de Parfum, sure to gift you a longevity of around 6 – 8 hours on the skin. The sum of it’s varied florals, white and other, combine and nestle into a warmer bed of musks, resins and bourbon vanilla on the dry down, while the patchouli and vetiver lend an air of chypre. A sweet, flowery cloud with an animalic edge.
LORE LOVES
We adore the way this romantic fragrance is a nod to exactly that. A sensual weekend romance in the city, that lives out it’s whirlwind seduction swiftly, untarnished and undiluted by soured endings or long, drawn out goodbyes. Soft, soapy and alluring. A pretty wear with a purity bordering on virginal, it’s a balancing act of clean, fresh, flesh meets hot Italian romance. Perfect for some summer loving. Romantina is in the air!

I’m not at all surprised Juliette Has a Gun “Romantina” is out of stock as I write this. If or when this is back I’ll be purchasing another one for sure. It’s soft, feminine, warm, in fact it conjures an image of sitting snuggled up in a soft rug with a drink of choice (okay, so my choice is wine) either reading a novel you can’t put down or watching a Christmas movie. I understand some will think I’m delusional but I find certain Christmas movies nostalgic, magical and even romantic. Hence, the name “Romantina”. This is the fourth “Juliette Has a Gun” in my collection. I layer a couple and the result is just beautiful. At the risk of sounding like a total lunatic, I’d be slowly eating my favourite New York cheesecake. Well, we all know you shouldn’t drink on an empty stomach! Gayle
