Which Should You Buy?
A daringly fresh take on the Born in Roma DNA, this fragrance melds vibrant bergamot and smoky coffee with a crisp, green backbone that feels both invigorating and urbane. A standout choice for the confident modern man.
This one sparks serious debate - some call it mouldy decay, others a unique woody-gourmand masterpiece. Definitely not a blind buy unless you fancy smelling like vintage fruit and forest floor.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The vibrant bergamot and green facets make it ideal for spring, while the coffee and woody vetiver base give it enough depth for fall. It works in summer if applied lightly, but its warmth is less suited to deep winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh yet intriguing profile make it perfect for dates and casual outings. The coffee and vetiver lend enough sophistication for the office, but it is less suited for formal black-tie or intense sport settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its bold and polarising nature makes it a tricky fit for formal or professional settings, but its unique depth shines on a date. For everyday wear, it's a bit too 'statement' for most, though some clearly embrace its distinctive character for creative outings.
