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.
A truly gorgeous, sophisticated gourmand that's an undeniable crowd-pleaser and signature scent for many. The only catch? Finding an original pre-reformulation bottle is the real challenge, as the current versions don't quite hit the same delicious hazelnut and coffee notes.

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 winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated gourmand profile make it suitable for office wear, provided it's applied subtly. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions where its warm, inviting nature can be appreciated up close, yet it's versatile enough for a classy casual outing.
