Which Should You Buy?
Roma is a divisive classic, lauded for its unique blend of fresh mint, zesty grapefruit, and deep oriental warmth. Be warned, though, that modern formulations might not deliver the same potent punch as the vintage bottles did.
Sung by Alfred Sung is a classic 80s floral powerhouse that's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent white and green florals - no shrinking violets here. It's bold, memorable, and definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated, warm, and spicy profile leans heavily towards evening and cooler weather wear, making it less suitable for casual or sport settings. While some reviewers find it office-appropriate, its strong character and potential for divisive notes like civet mean a light hand is needed.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
While some find it acceptable for the office, its strong sillage and potent nature mean it's better suited for evenings or formal events where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's definitely not a sport scent, and its assertive character makes it less ideal for casual, close-quarter wear.
