Generic and perfumey in the best possible way
People often say the original Born in Roma is a good inoffensive everyday perfume, but I never understood it. To me it's just scratchy, with undertones of a typical male cologne.
This one on the other hand fits my taste just right, it's like a perfected version of the same concept.
All the scratchiness is gone and only the good, feminine parts of the Born in Roma DNA are left. This is a bit more intense, but not in a suffocating way. The main note is a creamy vanilla with clean white floral backbone. Juicy and sweet accents of blackcurrant and rum complete the picture. Just like the listed notes say. It might not be the most special fragrance on earth, but I can't really think of something that smells the same.
The bright pink color of the bottle is very fitting, as it is an ultra girly and uplifting scent.
Let's face it, the most important question about a perfume is: Does it smell good? Do I want to smell like it? If it's super original and innovative, but doesn't fulfill this basic requirement, it doesn't even matter. Born in Roma Extradose doesn't go far beyond the basic, but it does them so well I don't mind.
It's honestly almost a bit confusing to me why exactly I like this so much. I guess sometimes something completely normal hits just right. Like your favorite bar of chocolate from the supermarket or a simple 10€ t-shirt that fits you perfectly and becomes a trusted staple until it falls apart.
