Romantica is practically a woody-floral musk, with a huge emphasis on the synthetic musks.
As a result, it possesses creamy musk traits, irrespective of the fact that some castoreum has been added to dirty things up a bit. Being extremely soft and slightly powdery, most of the accords are only barely discernible but its white floral vibrancy stands out the most, as the rose adds some metallic facets. With a discreet woody underpinning, its evolution is both modest and serene.
On the whole, there's nothing particularly engaging about it and one would have preferred much more presence on the skin. Still, its staying power is quite reasonable.
