Roma by Laura Biagiotti
Today I’m wearing Roma by Laura Biagiotti. Roma falls under the category of largely underrated perfumes. Well, I must quickly add that the category applies to myself only since I imagine it was quite popular back in 1988 when it came out but I was merely a fifth-grader then. So, why underrated? Simply because it’s been sitting in my drawer for about two years now, and I’ve only worn it twice, today being the second time. Now that I think of it, maybe I should make Friday as an official Underrated Perfume day (what do you think, guys?) Back to Roma. It features the notes of pink grapefruit, bergamot, black currant, mint, jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, musk, patchouli, oakmoss, and civet. There’s no way my nose detects all of them but it certainly picks up on grapefruit-bergamot-jasmine combo on the sandalwood-amber-oakmoss base. The effect is quite peppery, even leeather-like, slightly spicy, with warm undertones. I have the eau de toilette (with excellent staying power), and now I can’t help but wonder if this was ever made in parfum. If you love scents like Fifi Chachnil, Calvin Klein Obsession, and Must de Cartier, you must give this a try!
Roma can be found at Imagination Perfumery, Parfum1, Scentiments as well as other online discount perfume sites.
