Roma Imperiale
by Profumi del Forte
Roma Imperiale presents a soft, vanillic oriental profile with a powdery floral core that evolves subtly over time. The opening features a bright citrus and aromatic top note blending bergamot, neroli, and coriander with a hint of woody civet and cinnamon, creating a delicate yet intriguing introduction. As it settles, a graceful interplay of white florals emerges—jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang, and orchid—laced with a subtle sweet vanilla and ambergris, lending a luminous, fluffy quality reminiscent of Italian elegance. The dry-down reveals a light, powdered-chic base with sandalwood, oakmoss, and just the faintest trace of animalic civet, contributing depth without opulence. The perfume maintains a quiet, intimate sillage, never overwhelming, with a lasting presence of moderate duration. It suits daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer, and appeals to those seeking a refined, wearable, and unisex aura with a layered, evolving character.
