Profumum Roma – Italian extraits at 43% concentration

Profumum Roma: Italian perfumery at its most intense

A family house founded in Rome in 1996

Profumum Roma was founded in Rome in 1996 by the Durante siblings, heirs to a family passionate about essences for several generations. Their ambition is radical: to return to uncompromising perfumery, where concentration and the quality of materials take precedence over everything else. The house immediately stood out for its bold choice of a 43% concentration of absolute, twice that of most classic extraits de parfum. A dense, long-lasting Italian signature that stays in the memory from the very first spray.

The house's emblematic fragrances

The Profumum Roma pantheon brings together Gioiosa, Dulcis in Fundo, Ambra Aurea, Dolci Pensieri and Patchouly: powerful extraits that have built the Italian house's international reputation.

Perfumery without half measures

All Profumum Roma creations share a recognisable signature: 43% perfume absolute, thick glass bottles of deliberate sobriety and an olfactory reading that favours clarity over complexity. The house does not follow trends, launches only one or two creations a year, and remains true to its original project. It is this intransigence that has made it one of the benchmarks of Italian niche perfumery for seasoned connoisseurs.

Who is Profumum Roma for, and when to wear it?

Profumum Roma is for those who like to leave a bold, dense sillage that does not go unnoticed. The house is unisex by temperament. The aquatic and citrus creations shine in spring and summer, while the gourmand, leather and amber ones come into their own in autumn and winter. If you like Profumum Roma, you will also enjoy exploring Xerjoff and Nobile 1942, two other intense Italian signatures at Soleil d'Or.
