Roma

Linear and tuberose-focused composition. The tuberose and magnolia notes are heavily pronounced, but it lacks a youthful or fresh quality, instead exhibiting an aged and stagnant character. As the scent evolves, it transforms into a complex and rich white floral, musky, and powdery experience with subtle undertones of orange and apricot. The vanilla and amber base notes provide a sweet and musky dry-down, which adds a pleasing dimension to the composition. Personally, I find it to be overpowering, particularly in warm weather, as the cloying scent became too much for my senses. However, the fragrance does project loudly and has remarkable longevity, suggesting its quality and attention to detail. The scent is more oriental than Mediterranean in its composition, perhaps due to the pronounced jasmine note, which may be too feminine for some. As a result, I would strongly advise against making a blind purchase and instead recommend testing it on your skin before making a commitment.
