The opening is sharp and strange in the best way. Pink grapefruit and sicilian bergamot are bright and bitter, blackcurrant adds a tart green sourness, and then mint cuts through all three with something cold and almost medicinal. Hyacinth sits in there too, green and watery and slightly soapy, which is an odd thing to meet at the top of a fragrance and part of why this one stays in the memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe middle is a classical bouquet given a spiced edge. Carnation brings a peppery spiced heat, rose and jasmine fill it out, and lily of the valley keeps a dewy green line running through the flowers. It is rich without being heavy, and it moves quickly towards the base. That base is the real character of Roma. Myrrh and amber give it a resinous, faintly smoky warmth, singapore patchouli and oakmoss make it earthy and damp, civet adds an old fashioned animal note that modern perfumery has largely abandoned, and vanilla, sandalwood and musk smooth the whole thing into something soft and close. It smells of another era of perfumery, when scents were expected to have some weight to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt lasts well for an eau de toilette and projects moderately after the first hour.

If the appeal was its near invisibility, this is the wrong bottle and the standard version is still there.
