Essenza di Roma

I received a sample of this today. It's really, really lovely. I've only been to Rome once, but it was an amazing experience and a beautiful city. And when I smell this, I get it... I can say "yes... this is Roma." Most of the time with fragrance, I don't like to dissect the notes out one by one, I like to get a feel for the overall composition when I smell. But I'll mention a little bit. To my nose, the almonds and sandalwood do stand out more in the drydown, and I also smell... and this might just be me... Stracciatella. One of my favorite ice creams. Stracciatella is mostly composed of vanilla with delicate chocolate pieces, but I do think the vanilla has a different flavor to it than regular vanilla. Overall though, Essenza di Roma doesn't scream ice cream or food, because the floral and woody notes balance that out. It's very soft and elegant, think of a warm summer night's breeze... I like how, with my imagination, it does transport me back there. A lot of fashion, art and flirtations around you. You don't rush... you walk slow, and enjoy every moment. I think the fragrance really captures that. I might purchase the full-size bottle. It would be an amazing summer scent, but because it is warm, I think this will be great in all seasons. Definitely very cozy for winter too. It doesn't feel like an EdT, it's been on me for hours and I don't feel like it's gotten weaker. So that's great, because it looks like there is no EdP version as of right now. p.s. With this scent on my arm, I realized it's time to rewatch Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday!

Time. Time is of great importance when it comes to this perfume. It was my blind buy based solely on reviews here. When it came yesterday the moment I opened the bottle was...terrifying. So strong! Far too strong for my liking! A disaster, in one word. But I used it on my wrist nevertheless. And that's when a miracle happend. It blended in with my skin really smoothfly. Settled down nicely. I could detect vanila and mandarin orange (still working on almonds ;)) It's a very cozy fragrance, working great in winter. So to sum it up - try this not very popular beauty, but do give it some time to let you both acquaint with, in good way. :) Edit: It's addictive! Seriously. At first I thought it might be too heavy for me, after a day of wearing it I got used to it and found it pretty attractive and NOW... I cannot stop using it! Even though there are like at least dozen others in my collection to use. Wow!

ESSENZA DI ROMA is sensual elegant and amazing!! I really recommend it to everyone who loves woody notes. It's all about woody and sweet notes with a touch of fruits to refresh it . It's comfortable even in summertime though it has a deep personality which I really like.. it's perfect for all the women who like vanilla fragrances with a touch of fresh citruses. There is a well balanced accord of vanilla, mandarin and woody notes. The lasting power is great so that you can appreciate it on your skin until the morning after !! CHANGING, with its salty and sweet twisting stages, and Confortable in daytime as well as at night!! I really love it because its a bit savory, and it make me dream of holidays in a gracefull Italian sunny and blowy seacoast. One of my favourite choice in summer!!

Well, it begins just like the old Roma, but then comes off as a much more sweet and warm scent. Not as bold as the previous version. This is exactly what I had hoped for when I ordered it. Biagiotti somehow managed to remove the old and leave the class in the bottle. Now it's no longer that mature scent a-la Chanel No5. It's modern, which in this case is good. Essenza di Roma is very classic and feminine. Definitely your first choice for a lovely evening at the opera. I like it.

This is my signature scent. ! It has been bought by mistake by my mom, who is a fan of the original Roma. Whilst i love the original too, this version just hit the spot for me and i fell in love. It is slightly more refreshing smelling than the original variation , the orange comes through really lovely , then turns into a wonderful sweet skin scent , when you can smell the original Roma tones. I can't get enough of it honestly. Best mistake purchase ever .
