Alexandria Fragrances Rome is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Rome opens with Leather, Vanilla, and Tomato Leaf, settles into a heart of Iris, Galbanum, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Iris, and Labdanum.

A modern, sophisticated leather that stands out from the crowd with an earthy green twist. While some find the opening a bit rough, its unique character makes it a strong contender for a signature scent.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and smooth dry down make it versatile enough for daily wear, though its unique leather-vanilla-tomato leaf profile shines best in casual or date settings. While long lasting, its slightly sweet and prominent leather might be a bit much for very formal or high-energy sporting events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rome opens with a striking, fresh burst of green tomato leaf instantly paired with soft leather and a hint of vanilla sweetness. As it settles, a powdery iris emerges, blended with aromatic clary sage and the resinous tang of galbanum, creating a smooth, almost rooty depth. The dry down is a warm, musky embrace of creamy sandalwood and benzoin, where the leather becomes a sweet, subtle hum. Some find a phantom chocolate note in the journey.
