Profumum Roma was born in Rome in 1996, when Giuseppe, Luciano, Maria and Felice Durante moved away from traditional perfumery conventions to create their own house. Their story continues that of their grandparents, Celestino and Luisa, who came from Sant’Elena Sannita after the war. In Rome, Celestino moved from sharpening tools to creating colognes and lotions, before passing on his family’s expertise.

The compositions are created in the house’s Roman laboratory using carefully selected raw materials and an announced concentration of 43%. Profumum Roma favours dense, long-lasting and evocative sillage, built around a place, a memory or a material. The creations are designed as unisex, and each skin reveals a different facet.

Right now at Fragsplit, 6 Profumum Roma fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Acqua Di Sale, Patchouly, Aquae Nobilis, Acqua Viva, Dulcis in Fundo…
