Every time I enter a perfumerie, I search every corner. Novelty doesn’t interest me; I go for the forgotten veterans nobody buys! Roma happened to me. It has an indescribable biscuit-like scent. Maximum fixative yet adorable, nothing boring, staying clean on clothes always. I loved it so much I bought it myself.
At first, it seemed strange, almost synthetic, a mildly sweet citrus. I think it was the galbanum and bergamot impression, plus a green note of basil (I didn’t detect bergamot or orange). After three hours, a flower emerged that wasn’t jasmine; I deduce it’s heliotrope. I didn’t sense pine. By five hours, the benzoin and patchouli appeared. By twelve, sandalwood, patchouli, and soft cedar. Some compare it to Paloma Picasso’s Minotaure. They share that oriental vein, being both distinct and difficult to understand at first. It’s a soft woody oriental with moderate sillage (I used a millilitre and it wasn’t heavy) and lasts over 12 hours on me, settling closer to the skin towards the end. I see it for intermediate seasons and daytime wear.
I found the opening slightly strange, almost synthetic, like a mildly sweet citrus. However, I believe it was the galbanum impression with a touch of bergamot and the green note from basil (I didn’t smell the orange). Three hours after application, I perceived the floral note which wasn’t jasmine, so I deduced it to be heliotrope. I didn’t perceive the pine note. At five hours, I sensed the benzoin and patchouli. Twelve hours after application, a residual sensation of sandalwood, patchouli, and soft cedar. Some compare this fragrance to Paloma Picasso’s Minotaure. Apart from the oriental vein they share, I think what unites them is the fact that they are distinct and difficult to comprehend in their opening and heart phases. As a woody oriental, it is soft, with moderate sillage (I used a millilitre and couldn’t achieve a heavy trail) with longevity superior to 12 hours on me, feeling closer to the skin in the final hours. I see it more for intermediate seasons and daytime use.
The perfume my wife loves the most; I get so many compliments.
A poetic and enchanting vanilla. It begins intriguingly: sweet, fresh, and bitter, like a herb-infused biscuit with lemon zest. Then the vanilla takes over, refined and never cloying, accompanied by pine and floral notes. The projection is discreet but the longevity is good. It sits right on that border between masculine and feminine. A linear, complex, and deep scent. Ideal for a few absinthe sips with Rimbaud in any bistro.
A friend in Germany gifted me this in 1994, and it remains my absolute favourite. The only trick is to spray it on clothes rather than skin, and the result is spectacular. It lasts all day, has a sweet touch that never gets cloying, and everyone loves it, even if few know the name. A sure-fire success.
I’ve enjoyed Roma Uomo; it is warm and fresh, strange at first but with radiant beauty, a captivating scent that brings a smile to my face. The opening is strange, citrusy and fresh yet slightly sweet and warm, uncommon, like a sugar-free light lemon dessert that tries to be sweet but ends up more sour. Then the benzoin gains body with the galbanum and woods, projecting a floral resinous vanilla, semi-sweet, herbal, and woody, simply gorgeous. From here on, it is fairly linear, save for the floral nuances that give it dynamism. Performance is moderate, longevity is good (5-6 hours), but with low sillage that stays close to the skin. Daytime and temperate climate use, though it could also work for evening. Another success by Annick Menardo; I admire this dream-creator more and more with each passing day.
I liked Roma Uomo; it’s warm and fresh, strange at first but radiantly beautiful. It puts a smile on my face when I wear it. The opening is peculiar: citrusy, fresh, slightly sweet, and warm, like a light lemon dessert without sugar that ends up more sour than sweet. Then benzoin gains body with galbanum and woods, projecting a floral, resinous, semi-sweet, herbal, and woody vanilla. Warm with balsamic and green nuances, it’s lovely. Afterwards, it’s fairly linear, except for the floral nuances that add dynamism. Performance is moderate, around five or six hours, with a low trail but close to the skin. I use it during the day for fresh or temperate climates, though it could also work for evenings. Another Annick Menardo masculine I enjoy; I admire this dream-creator more and more each day.
Very masculine, fresh, and intense all at once. A strong resin blend with a base of patchouli and woods. Extremely long-lasting, ideal for mature men.
Smells super masculine, fresh and powerful all at once. It’s a strong blend of resin with patchouli and base woods. It lasts a long time, perfect for mature men.
The fragrance of my life. I’ve worn it since 1995 and never tire of it; it’s one of the few classics, even though it’s relatively modern. A soft spicy oriental with a strange and spectacular vanilla: sometimes fruity, sometimes like stepping into a sweet oven, sometimes like a forest. Recommended for all ages. It’s not as mass-produced as CH or Million, so heads turn.
The fragrance of my life. I’ve worn it since 1995 and never get tired of it; it is one of the few classics despite being relatively modern. A very soft spiced oriental, with a vanilla as strange as it is spectacular: sometimes fruity, sometimes smelling of entering a sweet shop oven, sometimes like a forest… Absolutely recommended for all ages. As it isn’t mass-produced like CH or Million, heads turn.
A burst of citrus upon application. A sweet-and-sour grapefruit and prominent bergamot overshadow the juniper and pine, which then take a brief spotlight. Benzoin rises from the heart and moderates everything. Basil and sandalwood begin to emerge. That sweet-and-sour grapefruit and lime note never leaves, not even at the start. Patchouli is there too. It smells dry initially but mutates into vanilla with citrusy touches of benzoin and sandalwood; after four hours, it becomes sweeter and less dry, more powdery. An interesting proposal from Laura Biagiotti.
Roma Uomo by Laura Biagiotti is a pleasant, warm, and calming woody oriental. It opens with fruity citrus notes that aren’t refreshing; rather, they’re reminiscent of orange bread or cake. Soon after, pine emerges close to the skin, while sandalwood, a floral note, and benzoin provide that comforting warmth. It smells simple yet agreeable, evoking nostalgic memories of orange bread from my home. Perfect for autumn and winter. It lasted over eight hours, though the projection is low.
Softly citrusy and sweet, the grapefruit dominates at first before turning floral and vanilla. Very 90s in the good sense. It’s cosy and tranquil, reminding me of Burberry but less sharp. On a woman, I think it would look wonderful.
Impressive; it’s one of my favourites because it fills you with joy. The citrus opening with bergamot and grapefruit is spectacular, and the base is clearly vanilla, like a lemon meringue with vanilla ice cream. It could be unisex. I love its trail and longevity; on my skin it lasts longer than more expensive perfumes. Final note: 9.
So warm and cosy it’s a pleasure to wear. Nothing aggressive; it smells of orange with a touch of talc that feels wonderful. It’s masculine yet not overpowering, making you think of a kind man. I believe a woman, a teenager, or even a child could wear it for that warmth that clashes with no one.
A fragrance that brings peace and makes no pretensions; warm and versatile. Annick Menardo’s 1992 Roma Uomo did a brutal job. It’s timeless and doesn’t compete with vanilla or tobacco scents, having its own vibe (a hidden gem). It evokes memories of European shops, with a citrus aura and sandalwood. Alongside Moustache, it’s a staple in my amber-woody collection. Longevity and sillage are 8, price is 9. Definitely at Tiens!
A fragrance that imparts well-being and tranquility, unpretentious, warm and welcoming. Roma Uomo, launched in 1992 by Annick Menardo, is timeless. It doesn’t need to compete with modern vanillas, tobaccos, or ambers; it has its own vibe, a hidden yellow gem that brings memories of European warehouses or shopping centres, with an aura of citrus and sandalwood. Along with Moustache Eau Parfum, they are staples in my woody amber collection. Longevity: 8, Sillage: 8, Price: 9, Scent: 8. Tiens!
A vintage beast yet absolutely essential right now. Smells delicious, lasts all day with just five sprays without being overwhelming. It clings to clothes and then releases a slightly sweet scent. A must-have. As it dries, it hints a bit at Abercrombie before evolving into a Minotaur-style fragrance. A true gem.
24 years later, in 2016, Acqua di Parma launched its clone titled Quercia.
After 25 years I bought it again for a good memory, it reminded me of the grey and windy winters of NL (where I discovered it). It was nice to smell and use it again, as it is very different from everything I had been using. It comes across as sweet and citrusy in good balance. It is very pleasant and I use it at night more in summer. And it’s not expensive at all…
I am a woman and I used it for myself; I always said it smelled like cookies, very sweet, very edible.
An exquisite scent with a performance that is quite poor. It doesn’t give me even 2 hours. A pity.
A few days ago, walking through the historic centre, I saw an old-style stationery and perfumery shop almost empty and about to close. The bare windows saddened me, just as the undecorated interior did. Buying a perfume discontinued years ago can’t change the melancholic decline of these businesses. For me, who spent my childhood without online shopping, where pens and pencils were bread and butter, it is painful to witness this radical change. Stationery shops were colourful, warm, and welcoming spaces that stimulated the imagination, places of the heart that I thought would be eternal. But the world is a chaotic flow and nothing remains. Small perfumeries have been in crisis for years, a slow and silent dissolution to make way for soulless megastores. Of what little remained, I took a vintage Roma Uomo, which in its current version never caught my attention, but here another bird sings. Roma has that southern European air that wraps around you and makes you feel good, radiating good humour on grey days. The bottle has a beautiful Roman design and an excellent spray. It begins with a juicy mandarin, which complements the basil wonderfully, along with laurel leaves and pink grapefruit. The opening is typically southern European, fitting the eternal city. As it progresses, it becomes a bit heavier without losing freshness, thanks to the vanilla, with notes of musk, amber, and wood. After an hour and a half, the vanilla takes the foreground, but sandalwood and cedar flanked by green mandarin prevent it from being too sweet. Everything smells wonderfully composed, with pleasant bursts for hours. Now I understand its success: a perfume made for a southern gentleman with decency and elegance, which will remind me forever of this small shop. To us, who live in an era of telephone booths and letterboxes full of letters, we only have to adapt. If sometimes we feel outdated or it’s hard to accept a world that belongs to us only in part, we shouldn’t be ashamed, but accept it.
Summer, I’m from León Guanajuato and in the centre there are shops selling bridesmaid and communion dresses. You’re almost always given grape or orange sweets. This scent reminded me so much of the smell and taste of those orange sweets. I don’t know if the custom continues, but if you want to know what to expect, it’s an almost 1:1 approximation. The performance… bad, it projects nothing and lasts about 3 hours on the skin. I met it through Gioperfumes and my batch isn’t up to my expectations, although for its price it seems good for people over 45 because it truly smells like nineties youth.
Classic but not old-fashioned. It’s 33 years old and remains indispensable on the shelf. Citrus opening, not sharp. The basil and laurel are there in the distance, helping the citrus stay in check. Then, bam!, the ambarous resins of benzoin dominate from start to finish. In the base, soft and steady cedar goes hand in hand with sandalwood, with flowers like heliotrope and jasmine in minimal presence. It has that elegant, clean, and resinous profile of something brand new. I see it as very Italian, classic, for all year round: spring, summer nights, and autumn. It reminds me of the smell of a new car, of something brand new. It suits anyone dressed in chinos and a shirt. The downside is that the longevity is just about right: at most 7 hours, with moderate/low projection, aided by clothes. It’s not too formal, it doesn’t shout, but it’s not flat either.
If Madame Menardo had released this fragrance with more sillage, something more concentrated and long-lasting, we would be talking about a perfume at 190€ and above, because the composition is pure poetry. The balance is impeccable for the price. Few citrus notes please me as much as Roma does; when I smell it, a smile comes to my face. Unfortunately, the longevity and projection are just. In my case, to notice it more, I apply 10 sprays and get 6 hours of delight. How it smells, God.
Classic and old-school, but not decadent like others with that aldehydic and slightly murky undertone. For retro tastes, it’s certainly a good fragrance. Ideal for those who aren’t into modern perfumery. Fortunately for my nose, the longevity is mediocre.
Classic and a little old-fashioned, yet not decadent like others with aldehydic or murky presence; good for retro tastes. Ideal if modern perfumery doesn’t suit you. Fortunately for my nose, the performance is mediocre.
Smells incredibly modern for a classic over 30 years old, although it strays from 2025 trends. It’s a simple scent, lacking many nuances, reminiscent of a foaming hand soap with a clean orange/citrus note. Nothing groundbreaking, but it smells rich and clean. I see it as unisex, comparable to colognes like Bébé. The bottle, inspired by the Roman Pantheon, betrays its Italian origin.
