The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Roma, launched by Laura Biagiotti in 1988 and crafted by perfumers Jean-Pierre Mary and Jean-François Latty, is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant city. The composition opens with bright pink grapefruit and mint, creating a fresh yet invigorating start. As it evolves, the heart notes of jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley add warmth and complexity, while the base of amber, vanilla, sandalwood, and oakmoss create a rich and enveloping finish. Roma is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it balances freshness with depth.

How to wear it

Roma's fresh top notes are most noticeable within the first hour. For a lasting impression, apply it to pulse points for warmth and depth as the base notes develop.
