Bertelli’s Roma: A Feminine Fragrance of the 1920s
Introduced at some point in the 1920s, Roma by Bertelli was created as a scent for women. It dates from a period of remarkable change in European perfumery.
The choice of Roma summons the Eternal City and all that it suggests. The allusion is cultural and evocative, not a guide to its smell.
During that decade, perfume took on a fresh social role. New fashions and a livelier public life meant a woman’s scent was worn with greater confidence and visibility.
Roma should be seen in that light. Its feminine designation mirrors the conventions of the day, when fragrances were openly designed with women in mind.
Little verified information about the composition survives. In the absence of an established note structure, it would be misleading to outline particular facets or materials.
Seen today, its interest lies chiefly in what it represents. It offers a glimpse of perfume thinking from a hundred years ago, instead of a creation to measure against present tastes.
It will suit devotees of historic perfumery, collectors of early twentieth-century pieces, and anyone who likes to understand a fragrance through its era.
Roma by Bertelli is most fairly read as a historic fragment. Its name, its feminine character and its 1920s debut are the certainties that preserve its modest place in the story of scent.
