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.
No.474 takes its fruity black-currant opening and jasmine heart from Laura Biagiotti's Roma, but the base is simplified to vanilla and cashmeran, missing the mossy, slightly bitter complexity of the original's oakmoss and civet finish.
