Aqua di Roma Uomo (2004)
by Laura Biagiotti

I can see why some people aren't crazy about this fragrance. I guess I would say I like it more than I dislike it. The grapefruit, generic cologne smell seems a bit forced at times, but after wearing it some, I decided that I do like it. The sillage is pretty decent and it has great longevity. I would say as cheap as it is, it's worth a try.

Undeservedly the recipient of much negative press, Roma Uomo is a nice fruity and floral, albeit quite linear and very light, aquatic which, to me, doesn't smell as synthetic as most other reviews suggest. It opens with a fresh grape blast which quickly settles into its not-too-feminine floral base and that's about all it does. But, to me, that doesn't really matter because it's bright and fresh - a good aquatic. Unfortunately it is let down by its sillage and longevity, but then neither are expected to be amazing with a frag of this lightness. Despite that, I think it's a pleasant and worthy also-ran.

I found this to be more floral and fruity than aquatic....citrus/watermelon with touch of rose...average silage and longevity. Nothing to write home about, but then again this is not my type of scent.

i had a sample a few years back and i remember it being very floral. a very hard to find scent. nice floral. it was simple but i liked it.

This is one of those spicy-oceanic scents that my nose just can’t handle. It is quite dense, fruity and unfortunately very astringent to my nose: It is bit of a spiky nostril stinger. Again it must be some aromachemical or spice accord which my nose totally detests.

Apart from the gorgeous packing, to me this is hopelessly useless flanker.

I bought this blindly and was never even able to wear it out once. When I sprayed it on my skin, I just got an overwhelming blast of stale locker room and BO. It eventually got better, but the sourness never left. I think the grapefruit notes in this one are a bit rotten.. definitely not for me.
