The layers of the scent: harmony and contrast

Born in Roma Extradose Uomo is a woody fougère that unfolds in several layers:

  • Top note: ginger – a sharp, fresh and lively start.
  • Heart note: lavandin – an aromatic, deep and calming heart.
  • Base note: vetiver – a smoky, warm and lasting finish.

The scent begins with a sharp flash of ginger that wakes the senses and adds energy. Then lavandin opens up, bringing calm and depth, like a night breeze in the gardens of Rome. Finally everything is wrapped in the smoky embrace of vetiver, which gives the fragrance masculine strength and staying power. It is a journey through the night – lively, deep and unforgettable.

Warm base: the shadow of vetiver

As the night deepens, Born in Roma Extradose Uomo opens into its vetiver base note – a smoky, warm accord that brings out the masculine side of the scent. Vetiver adds strength and depth, recalling the warmth of Rome's stone walls and the mystery of the city at night.
