Roma Uomo Eau de Toilette Cedro

I've been wearing the original Roma Uomo since at least 2009 and had never paid much attention to their flankers until I saw Scent Land (who also has a review below) giving this flanker "Cedro" high praise not once but on two separate occasions. I dare say that this is actually even better than the original. This may be the best woody-green fougere of the decade, with absolutely unprecedented ingredient quality and blending for this price point. Cedro retains the distinct Mediterranean feeling from the original Roma Uomo, but tones down the sweet orange icecream accords in favor of an ambergris laden combo of minty geranium, cedar, sandalwood, and rhubarb. The effect is bracing and classic like a shaving cream, a barbershop version of the original Roma Uomo. Huge aqueous note of cascalone imparts a salty melon touch to the woods for the entire duration of the fragrance. Anise, rosemary, and mint gives the aforementioned shaving cream effect and overall classical feeling. The fougere effect recalls fragrances like Azzaro Pour Homme and Cool Water. Cedro will last and project on your skin definitively until you shower it off, really impressive performance to be honest. A unique, exotic freshness. This stuff is an under the radar gem and perhaps a modern classic. I really hope it doesn't fade out of existence like Diesel Fuel for Life Summer, another incredible exotic fresh fougere did.

It's kinda tough to pinpoint how this exactly smells. Definitely a citrus themed scent but hidden under a slightly spicy ginger/rhubarb facet. There is a hint of something sharp because of that but it’s well polished by a cooling / frosty touch ( might be the cascalone) and something creamy in the back. It is simple, yes, but still, there is something intriguing, as it feels like there are some notes blended inside that should not match together, but ultimately do. I do get the Caron Pour un Homme Sport comparison, but the Biagiotti is inferior in every point to me. This is perfect on a warm spring, fall day or summer night, the creaminess might be too much on a very warm summer day.

I also get a 90's vibe from his. The original was one of the first fragrances I remember owning. I actually thought that was what I'd ordered, but cedro is what I have, and I'm pleased. The original is there, it's definitely the base, and whilst the cedar is most definitely there, a better name would have been Roma Aqua. This stuff is more aquatic then even Cool Water. Performance on me was great, it obviously worked with my chemistry, and projected well, just as the original did. Definitely worth buying.

Trying this one out today, I work outside in the Midwest USA, It's a nice creamy citrus right if the bat on my skin, it's very pleasant, right away I think this would mix well with valentinos uomo born in roma for an extra added kick. The opening smells very nice but goes away rather quickly, I do smell it on myself when the wind is blowing so I know it's still there. This is a very unoffensive scent, nothing super unique but also not hard to wear. I will edit my review as the day goes

A very brave fragrance. Takes the best of the original Roma and amps it up with a woody green aspect. Extremely well blended while not a safe a play. It has character and that makes it far better then many of todays releases (including Trussardi Riflesso). Perfect for springtime with its intelligently crafted balance of woody, green, sweet and creamy notes. Utter joy this one.
