Roma, my childhood sweetheart

Roma was one of the first big perfume loves in my youth, when I started to be interested in perfume at all :)
I loved antiquity and was very much into Greek and Roman mythology and at the same time I fell in love with the music of Rondo Veneziano at that time, which was so new and extraordinary "Classic meets Pop".... Awesome!
And this included, appropriately enough, Roma by Laura Biagiotti in this (as I found at the time) beautiful column bottle.
When I smell my still existing old bottle today, so many memories come back. Roma is a classic... many other perfumes came and went over the many years and were sometimes discontinued .... but Roma remained.
I used to read about the bad new reformulations and didn't dare buy Roma anymore for fear of being disappointed.
In recent years, I have known so many fragrances and briefly I was also in love. But when I very rarely smell my old Roma bottle, I have to say that nowadays it can still absolutely keep up. I find this fragrance somehow timelessly beautiful and I think I'll get myself one of these new bottles soon.
A tiny one... to test it :)
It would be nice if Roma would become my daily companion again...somehow I missed it without realizing it.

What a beautiful and honest comment! You are soo right... the best is sometimes very close, we just do not see it. And so it goes with the fragrances... I have rediscovered Roma by the way also for me. Previously, the scent was more intense, but that does not matter because the newer version is more suitable for daylight, round, soft and still very nice!

I also join the club of happy repurchasers!
Actually only for nostalgic reasons after 30 years bought a bottle, and contrary to expectations it got me full :))

I also bought a small bottle because I wasn't sure if I still liked it. But, it is, as you say, still an incredibly well made fragrance, bright, friendly, soft and powdery cuddly and not too sweet. I like this version a lot too. Roma cup to you.

Unfortunately I don't have my old Vision anymore, but Roma reminds me of my younger self.
I like old stones even more now than before.

Roma has also accompanied me since my youth. So I can understand you well. Also the new version is still beautiful, just overall lighter, but still no water.
