• Review of Roma by Kandy Mc Nicholas

  I can't tell you how much I love Roma. I have been wearing it since it came out in 1988. When it was discontinued, I was heartbroken. However, now that I found it again, I'm delighted. I receive compliments every time I wear it. In fact one of my co-workers requested a bottle as a Christmas gift since she loves the fragrance on me. Thank you Perfume.com

• Review of Roma by Tara Lanning

  Roma is delightful, and it is a shame it has been discontinued. I usually do not like floral fragrances, but this one has enough complexity that I really enjoy it. It starts with the bracing freshness of grapefruit, like sunshine in a bottle. Then it becomes more vanilla-y on drydown, with a hint of powder - another note I usually hate, but it really works here. It's fresh and ethereal, and yet sexy and womanly all at the same time. Highly recommend.

• Review of Roma by Free Gracer

  Roma opens with a bracing shot of grapefruit, Sicilian bergamot, black currant bud and mint. As it develops on the skin, Roma goes through a classical drydown. The middle notes consist of rose, jasmine, lily of the valley and carnation. There is a balsamic blend that hovers in the background, adding a subtle complexity to this scent. According to Laura Biagiotti, this balsamic blend, which contains North African myrrh, Siamese ambergris and vanilla, is similar to a mixture used by ancient Roman women. Further base notes consist of civet, Singapore patchouli and Yugoslavian oakmoss. When I wear Roma, I really can imagine I'm wending my way to the Colosseum all lit up at night, or feeling the coolness of the Pantheon's interior on a warm spring day. Roma reflects the invigorating excitement and opulence of the eternally ancient city whose name it shares. Brava, Ms Biagiotti!
