Roma Passione Uomo
by Laura Biagiotti
Roma Passione Uomo blends a sweet, sugary opening of mandarin and vanilla with warm cardamom and aromatic clary sage, creating a fragrance that feels both classic and slightly over-the-top at first. As it dries down, the sweetness lifts slightly to reveal a leathery, balsamic base of tonka, patchouli, and amberwood, giving it a surprising masculine depth. The scent performs best in spring and autumn, especially during daylight hours, and builds gradually into a sensual, romantic aura that draws compliments. Though its longevity is moderate and sillage on the light side, it maintains a persistent presence on skin. It’s consistently described as sweet but not cloying, with an elegant, vintage charm reminiscent of old-school Italian perfumes.
Pros

Cons
