Roma per Uomo is a fragrant tribute to those elegant, but seductive men that can only be found in the eternal city, Rome. Strong and fresh notes of grapefruit and basil are mellowed by cedarwood and sandalwood, while amber and resin give off their warmth and sensuality. Top notes include grapefruit, basil, bergamot and galbanum. Heart note; jasmine, heliotrope, juniperberry and balsam fir. The base is composed of cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood and benzoin. It was launched in 1995.

Creamy Orange Cake wearing a veil. I generally don't write reviews right of the bat and I wanted to wear this a few times before I really understood it. This is actually a very beautiful fragrance and I love it's light, creamy, limoncello-like quality. This scent wears well and lasts for hours. I see myself in an all white house with blonde hardwood flooring for some reason when I smell this. As someone said before they get a bit of lemon or orange cake in this and I see what they mean. And that's a yummy good thing. Thanks to Goldfinch for suggesting it to me! JG 051212
I HAD to buy it again after now 14 years its been a while and I occasionally did some squirts from a tester from time to time as I walked by the store and Roma was seducing me, calling me from the shelves..Hey Pssstt.. pick me Man...,one more time!
And i did it!, could not resist anymore it was a favourite scent then and im so happy i bought it now again.
Its a milestone scent for me, its package and bottle design is typical classy 90's Italian.
The juice gives me a great mellow and happy feeling wearing it, and dont expect an naive Happy,Happy - Joy,Joy scent!
I see good times , romantic times, sensual heated moments with your beloved ones and a bit mysterious but definiatly not dark!
Its perfect for summer days and evening wearing, it gives women a head turn if you project it rightly.
Be a little macho and daring and this truly can be a troublemaker!(As JMGCG said) Hahaha... but its true!
As others reviewers say its creamy and i certainly love its composed with galbanum and benzoin and citrus/grapefruits...
In my collection i certainly will rank this one in my top 5 of most seducing scents.
Buy it if you like a nice italian stallion summersweet delight!
I wonder what happened, but I bought this one blind once I heard it was similar to my favorite of all time, Minotaure. Now, I have not smelled Minotaure in about 9 years, but the scent of Roma does not remind me of what Minotaure was. This is a very waxy scent, kind of plastic in a way. I don't get any vanilla at all, but in all truth, I had to washed it away, so never smelled the dry down.
My best guess is, the bottle I have is damaged, or maybe not. Looks fine to me, the box was new, and the liquid looks exactly as the photos in here. Oh well, I already gave it away!.
This was my prefume election for a long time, after seeking a fresh alternative to the Tuscanny. It was my scent for warm days until the day it was impossible to find it for sale in Portugal.
WOW notes of grapefruit involved me for a long time followed by the warm tones of sandalwood and cedarwood.
This prefume is a magnet for women :-).
In fact is a trouble maker :-) I had a fellow woman who kept following me :-) "my god you smell so good, hugs me want to be involved this perfume "Yup I'm not kidding.
Longevity 8 hours or more
Scent 8/10
It is one of my perfumes I give it 9/10
Roma PH is everything one can imagine from Italy in the 1990s. It warm weather friendly and last for hours! Ironically, I find it close to its female counterpart without the florals. Both are resinous and smokey. They are both very characteristic of the Italian capital-timeless and lovely!
PH is similar to PP Minotaure, yet it lacks rose and sandalwood of Minotaure. Other than that, they are close. The 90s era radiance is no longer present in todays market. These were larger than life and barely on the market. Roma has been reformulated and lacks the depth of the original wonder.
Will, thank you for sharing this PRECIOUS original decant that is now so hard to find!
the benzoin and the galbanum make this a creamy delight...there's a smoothness to this that is really nice. Almost like a liqueur. And once again, the sandlewood saves to day, calming down the grapefruit. All in all, all the notes here, are 'smart' and work very well together. Nice price tag on it...nice lookin' bottle...and its just smells great. Italian frags tend to sit very well with me. All you have to do to figure that out is to look at the frags that Ive bought. Most of them are Italian.
Warm and beautiful,good for mature man.I like it so much...
I like this perfume on men, for me it's hypnotizing! It's creamy, softsweet, warm and still masculine. This is a men's perfume and I am tempted at wearing it myself, because it's a perfume you want to sniff again and again....
It's not a typical masculine scent but you can smell that it is for men.
I Bought this initially as a "less-expensive" substitute for Minotaure (that I couldn't find at an affordable price). I was so impressed with the immense peachy/apricot smell that I vowed to track down a bottle of Minotaure at whatever cost !
Roma Uomo is a truly magnificent scent - as Mr.Mookie has said, "Warm & Sweet", with a mellow resinous depth thats truly mesmerising.
I wore this to work the other day and was basking in the juicy aroma surrounding me - it made me feel very decadent. After spending about 15 mins away from my office, upon walking back in the aroma in the air was just staggering. I had only 2 squirts that morning, some 4 hours earlier, but the strength & depth of the scent in the air was truly magnificent. Upon returning home 3 hours later, my wife immediately commented on the scent as I walked through the door.. "Wow - you smell great" she said. I was finding it hard to believe the immense effect 2 reserved squirts had produced that day.
I'm not a fragrance expert, very much an absolute Novice (so specific notes & terminolgy elude me), but I would have to say that projection & longevity are exceptional on me. Roma Uoma has become an immediate favourite - it suits me, I could sniff this all day and never tire of it - it makes me smile and feel good.....and all of this with only a couple of careful squirts - what a truly great fragrance.
Roma Uomo has a sensual sweetness about it; refined by the fresher citrus and basil. It becomes richer and more masculine as it develops; aromatic geranium joins cedar and sandalwood leading into the soft ambery vanilla base, anchored nicely with benzoin.
This used to be one of my fave scents along side Minotaure which I still wear and enjoy. Both, similar in warmth and depth, although not in their complex composition, somehow exude a certain elegance that is hard to find among some modern perfumes.
So funny! 11 years ago... I was 16 and in love for the first time! Like head over heels!! He became my boyfriend and when I was waiting for him to come over, my knees would become weak and my whole body would start to shiver:D!! I remember I thought he had the most fantastic smell! But I never knew what fragrance it was, noone I knew used it (it has probably never bin a big hit in Norway:)). Last year we were visiting a friend of my husband, I went to the bathroom.. And on the bathroom counter, this friends perfume was standing. Ofcourse I had to smell it:D! And BAM(!!).. In an instant I was 16 again:D!
So now I know my first love was wearing Roma uomo
I really like the smell of this one because not many scents with this intensity are produced for men lately... its an unique one, remind me when i was in the caribeans in end of nineties, great evening scent i had a 15 ml tester is remembered and i liked it.
Its a sweet but not a sugarsweet scent because i dislike sugarsweetness in mens frags, this one is as i decribe it "sunny n warm sweet"
I can see a confident handsome men strolling on the promenade with an elegant red dressed italian brunette on his side walking to a night club on a warm summernight breeze..
Its a signature scent.
I might buy it soon again.
Old memories.
Miss you.
I love this parfume,I had this parfume twice, very good smell and elegant, this parfume is for real men
Originally, I bought this because I heard it was very similar to the now discontinued Minotaure by Paloma Picasso. Unfortunately, I don't find the two that similar though they do share an overall sparkling citrus vibe. Where Minotaure is citrus with aldehyde and florals, this just smells like orange peel and a lemon cake. The sweetness, which verges on gourmand, is tempered by the abundance of woody and herbal qualities.
So here's the summary: orange peel, lemon cake, herbs and wood. Like orange peels dipped in vanilla icing mixed with potpourri. Check it out if thats your thang.
very good perfume for winter nights,good longevity,nice vanilla scent.love it.
my rank 4/5.
Roma is sweet and soft with an appealing powdery flower essence and a citrus accord quietly asserting its presence. This may sound as if I'm describing a feminine fragrance, but surprisingly the aroma is decidedly masculine, IMO. This is a nice fragrance for a classy but casual event.
reminds me of an orange cake, but its not gourmand fantastic fragrance
Theres intimate type of aura about this one, this one is sensual.
projection is moderate then close to the skin
longevity 6/8hrs
Rome is a wonderful aroma in the opening citrus and basil in the heart of jasmine and juniper berries in the bottom and benzoin, sandalwood and patchouli make it a triumph. After everything is sprayed with a kaleidoscope of sensations, have you ever seen the sun peep through the branches of a forest road as you approach the car, here's all these little flares give the size of this perfume
is a voluptuous perfume, but without despotic, indeed is both confidential and discreet ...
Very good.
I got this because I liked it on someone I knew. But it's too much like a candy shop for me, I'd get worried being plagued by wasps wearing this. Anyway, with all its sweetness and 'aiming to please'ishness it fails in my view. It probably tries to be sexy but it is anything but that.
Sweet, creamy pine scent
It reminds me a lot of Boss Bottled. But this one is more piny, and Boss Bottled is more cinnamonny.
I found it in the Duty Free in an airport. The price was fair. It just rang a bell when I sniffed: D&G The One for men.
No sophisticated like D&G but nice stuff. It's smoother and velvety version of The One and also is more sugary with more citric opening. Dry down is heavier and classic, reminds southern Italian warm weather. It deserves the price.
It evokes all positive and happy moods, extremely romantic and sympathetic.
Springy and comfort, casual and ceremonial, masculine and young.
power 8/10
projection 9/10
scent 8/10
A warm smooth fragrance. There must be vanilla in this although it's not listed, maybe it's the combination of sandalwood and patchouli. It is similar to Minotaure but this is more subtle and it has a sort of "creamy" smooth vanilla drydown. Minotaure is superior than this though. However, this is a pleasant men's fragrance and comes in a nice frosted bottle. I would say it's one of the most classy of vanillas.
Roma is one of my hubby's favorites!!! The other one is D&G Classic :)
I like it too...very warm -woody, comforting, intresting, long lasting scent! I like that pine - note ;) suitable for every season summer / winter ! A must ! Lovely..........
i love it..i love it.very oriental perfume,waaaaw
this one is much better than Aqua di Roma Uomo , its lasting and sweet , worm , its not boring at all .
It starts of promising with a blast of citrus perhaps bergamot then settles down into a sweet vanilla base - for me yuk! very sweet and cloying
My brother's signature scent. He asks for a big bottle before each Christmas -which means he uses it regularly. Sweet, but not annoyingly sweet. Perhaps it's the grapefruit, the bergamot and the pine. It has a definitely attracting effect on women.
this is a hidden gem. where im from anyway. NOBODY has it here.smells like minotaure by palomo picasso. very sweet and alluring.i love it
The most beautiful men's perfume!
Desde 1995, el perfume que no puede faltar en mi casa. Siempre vuelvo a él. Quizá la única colonia que perdura en la ropa dándole un olor excelente incluso tras una noche de bares. Para mi es la fragancia perfecta. La adoro. Lástima que encontrarla hoy en día sea un tanto difícil.
If it really smells like Rome, and smells as great as all of you reviewers say, I want it! If it's such a great cologne, my boyfriend can wear it, and I can spray it on my pillow....
If it really isn't distinctly macho/too masculine a scent, I might like to try it...
I have used this fragrance since 1998, and it´s still one of my favorites!
It´s smells very sweet like candy and I can somehow smell the mango in the top notes.This is the only fragrance that smells like mango. When you look at the bottle, it has the color of mango.
This fragrance is wonderfull.....
one of my favorite......it`s smell like beautiful sun.....
I had this one a few years ago and I still miss it.
The feeling is only one: sophistication, wealthy, elegancy and power.
It's easy to find this perfume at stores. What it difficult is to find a man to wear it with its spirit!
my huzbant adore this parfum, i like too. not so strong,not so hard, worm and deep
