Fumidus

Fumidus by Profumum Roma is an intensely smoky, earthy, and woody fragrance centered around vetiver, birch tar, and a peaty Scotch whisky accord. The opening is bold and aggressive—like burning rubber, charred wood, or a campfire put out by rain, with a heavy smoke and medicinal sharpness. After initial application, often described as overwhelming or “eye-wateringly smokey,” the scent settles into a dry, deeply earthy vetiver base with hints of whiskey, smoke, and raw cedar, evoking the feeling of a leather jacket left in a smoke-filled cockpit or an old, dusty attic. Longevity is exceptional, often lasting beyond 12 hours with strong sillage, particularly at night or in colder weather. While some find it deeply compelling—comparing it to a fierce Islay Scotch like Lagavulin or Laphroaig—others describe it as a harsh, dirty, or unpleasant aroma reminiscent of burnt tires, cigarette butts, or a faded dive bar. The fragrance is not for the faint-hearted and is clearly marketed as an intense, masculine olfactory experience. It’s not wearable in crowded or formal settings, but is ideal for its intended audience—those who appreciate raw, earthy vetiver, uncompromising smokiness, and groundbreaking intensity.
