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.
This one is a properly divisive beast. Some will find its green earthiness captivating, others utterly bizarre. It's a statement, no doubt, but not for everyone.
