Profumum Roma Vanitas

Profumum Roma Vanitas is a rich, gourmand fragrance that centers around sweetness, blending vanilla, myrrh, orange flowers, and sandalwood. It is known for its extreme sweetness, reminiscent of burnt sugar or caramelized vanilla, evoking the feeling of cotton candy or sugar-laden desserts. The fragrance opens with an intense blast of vanilla and a hint of citrus from orange blossom, creating a syrupy sweetness. Myrrh adds depth to the scent, offering a slightly musty, resinous quality that contrasts with the gourmand elements.

Vanitas has been described as polarizing due to its bold sweetness. Fans often praise its comforting, nostalgic quality and its ability to evoke joyful memories, while critics find it overwhelmingly sugary. The fragrance has excellent longevity, often lasting over 15 hours on the skin, and a strong initial projection that eventually settles into a more intimate sillage.

This fragrance is perfect for those who love intensely sweet, gourmand scents. It’s best applied sparingly due to its potency, and can even be layered with woody or neutral fragrances to balance its sweetness. Vanitas is ideal for colder weather, when its warmth and sweetness can truly be appreciated.
