Roma

Roma by Laura Biagiotti is a complex, evocative fragrance that captures the essence of a warm Italian city through its layered composition. It opens with a vibrant, refreshing burst of pink grapefruit, bergamot, mint, and citruses, creating a crisp, almost medicinal freshness that can feel overwhelming initially. This transitions into a softer, powdery heart where floral notes like carnation, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and rose blend seamlessly with a warm, spicy base. The drydown is deeply aromatic and resinous, featuring amber, vanilla, sandalwood, myrrh, civet, and oakmoss, resulting in a sensual, slightly sweet, and long-lasting aroma that feels both comforting and quietly seductive. While some find the mint and citrus opening too sharp or incongruous, most agree that Roma unfolds beautifully, transforming into a rich, warm, and elegant scent that lingers on the skin and clothing for hours. It's widely considered a modern classic, best suited for cool to cold seasons, particularly autumn and winter, and appeals most to those seeking a timeless, mature, and slightly unisex scent with a romantic, nostalgic character.
