Roma Uomo Cedro presents a clean, fresh aquatic woody character with a distinct 90s retro vibe. It opens with a crisp, salty-cascalone burst and mandarin undertones, evolving into a balanced fusion of woodsy notes—cedar, cashmere wood, sandalwood—and a sweet vanilla-ambergris base. The harmony between the bright citrus, green rhubarb, and creamy sweetness gives it a gentle complexity, though some detect a subtle bubblegum-like quality that lingers at the edges. The fragrance performs well in warm weather and is particularly suitable for daytime wear, offering a soft but noticeable sillage. It feels more like a refined, lighter version of the original Roma Uomo, leaning into aquatic and barbershop influences while maintaining elegance and natural smoothness. Its relatively low intensity and moderate longevity make it ideal for those seeking a quietly charismatic, unobtrusive scent that lingers gently over the course of the day.
