Essenza di Roma by Laura Biagiotti | Fragrance Fragrance
What does Essenza di Roma smell like?
Essenza di Roma opens with a bright, sun-drenched burst of mandarin orange, capturing a classic Italian freshness that feels poised and energetic. It doesn't stay in the citrus grove for long, however...
The fragrance is widely regarded as a versatile all-rounder, with the community favoring it for daytime wear, particularly during the spring and autumn months when the balance of citrus and wood performs best.
Performance is considered moderate; while it provides a pleasant scent bubble initially, it tends to settle into a more intimate skin scent as the day progresses.
Enthusiasts often view this as a polished choice for professional or casual settings, noting its ability to smell "expensive" and refined without reaching the heavy price tags of certain niche Italian houses.
There is a consensus that the dry down is the highlight of the composition, where the vanilla and sandalwood create a soft, creamy finish that lingers gently on clothing.
