Roma Passione Perfume

Roma Passione is reminiscent of Italy: Caesar, The Forum, and the Coliseum in Rome. The Greek Theatres in Sicily and the ruins with remaining columns that capture the shape of the red column-shaped bottle it is in. From beginning to end, the scent is an intricate, complex theatrical play that is orchestrated by fruity-florals and spices. A passionate love scene heightened by cassis (brandy distilled from blackcurrants), rose, peony, vanilla, and Amber who plays the star role. But it is the cassis/blackcurrant in the dry down who gets the encores with its delicious syrupy-smelling elixir. It has taken time for me to appreciate the interplay of all its accords and exactly what memories Roma Passione evokes. It is also, balsamic like the salads I ate laced with balsamic vinegar in Amalfi Coast; elegant like the terrain in Tuscany; aromatic like the olive trees from the breeze in Florence/Pisa; and sensual like sipping generous glasses of red wine with every meal. Since black currants are a winter berry, I will use this only on special occasions in the evenings of the Fall/Winter months.
