Review of Roma Uomo Eau de Toilette by DizzyEek

On Stone, Warmth, and Ghosts: Laura Biagiotti Roma Uomo This isn’t the glow of youth. It’s later than that. Late afternoon. Sun sinking, heat still trapped in old stone. Nothing trying to impress anymore. Just… there. That’s where Roma Uomo lives. It doesn’t sit on the skin so much as it builds a mood. An atmosphere you step into. First spray? I won’t sugarcoat it. It’s sharp. Almost jarring. Grapefruit and basil come in hard, metallic, very early-’90s in a way that feels… loud now. Synthetic, even. For a few minutes, I’m thinking, oh no, did I misremember this? It’s like the opening note of a song that hits slightly off-key. Not easy and kind. Not asking permission either. So yeah - at first, it kind of dares you to bail. But wait. Seriously. Let it breathe. Let your skin do some of the work. That sharp edge slowly loosens its grip. The green notes step in - pine, juniper - cool, dry, quietly intelligent. Suddenly, it feels shaded. Like ducking into a garden courtyard away from the tourists. This is where Roma Uomo starts to make sense. Clean, grounded, calm without being sterile. And then… the dry-down. This is the reason people still talk about it. Sandalwood and benzoin, creamy and warm, settle in like heat stored in marble. Not sweet. Not showy. Just human. Worn. Familiar in the best way. It’s unisex in that effortless way - like a good leather jacket that doesn’t care who’s wearing it. Masculine through restraint, fluid through ease. Performance is decent. Respectable. But there’s no avoiding the truth: there’s a ghost here. The current formulation feels thinner. The sandalwood doesn’t have the same weight it once did. The transition from sharp to soft isn’t as seamless. It’s still good - very good - but it’s an echo. A well-preserved memory rather than the full original voice. Final word: Roma Uomo is for people who value presence over volume. Perfect for spring, heat, offices, and daily life. It smells like someone who has nothing left to prove. Just be ready for that opening - and be okay knowing you’re wearing a beautifully dressed ghost. One that still, quietly, knows how to hold a room. Vibe: Sun-warmed stone, linen shirts, quiet confidence Best for: Anyone tired of shouting The catch: The opening tests you. And what you’re smelling now is a memory - handled gently, but still a memory More scent stories and visuals on Instagram - @lavendercloudsjd
