Profumum Roma Vanitas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Vanitas settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Profumum Roma's Vanitas carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a playful, super-sweet vanilla gourmand that has caused absolute chaos in the community. You'll either adore its sugary, cotton candy charm or find it an overwhelmingly artificial mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, this powerhouse scent demands a test run first.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With beast-mode longevity and projection, this bold gourmand is a bit too much for the office. However, its sweet, attention-grabbing character makes it fantastic for dates and casual outings, especially during cooler weather. It's too playful for formal events and far too heavy for sport.

About

Vanitas opens with an indulgent, almost syrupy vanilla, immediately setting a sweet and bright tone. As it settles, the creamy sweetness is beautifully balanced by a whisper of orange blossom, providing a subtle floral lift that prevents it from becoming too cloying. The base introduces a comforting blend of warm, resinous myrrh and creamy sandalwood, adding a sophisticated depth to the sugary heart, ensuring a long-lasting, enveloping sweetness that's both airy and rich.
