On the scent

Muse, Published on 05/11/2016

» As a woman who has captured the imaginations of writers, artists and playwrights for more than 2,000 years, Cleopatra now also inspires perfumers at Bulgari. Their recently released scent, Rose Goldea, is the essence of not only a legendary queen, but also that of a world-famous seductress. Being able to entice two of the most prominent leaders of her time, Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony, Cleopatra's weapons of mass seduction are said to be jewellery and perfume. In fact, on the night she chose to tempt Marc Anthony, the queen chose to surround her bedside knee-deep in rose-pink petals.
