Starting from ₹99
★★★★★ (4.8/5)
Rome is a sparkling, sweet-floral, powerfully feminine, and deeply addictive women's fragrance inspired by Born in Roma EDP — the iconic 2019 fragrance by Italy's most celebrated couture house, created by master perfumers Olivier Cresp and Anne Flipo, and universally described as "confidence in a bottle" and "the fragrance that smells like the colour pink."
The house describes it as "a modern ambery fragrance — a self-celebration of people living life freely while embracing their heritage. Luxuriously feminine with an edgy touch inspired by Rome's street culture today." The official brief: "A Couture elegance made of three Jasmine flowers and accords, blended with Vanilla Bourbon — one of the most expensive ingredients in modern perfumery."
Black currant, pink pepper, and bergamot open with a sparkling, fizzy, deeply distinctive fruity energy. Three jasmine accords — Jasmine Sambac, Jasmine, and Jasmine Tea — create a magnificently complex, multi-faceted floral heart. And Bourbon Vanilla, Cashmeran, and Guaiac Wood anchor a warm, slightly woody, endlessly beautiful base. From the streets of Rome to your wrist — from ₹99.

🎨 The Perfumer — Nikhil Singhal & the Vision of Rome
When Nikhil Singhal set out to create Rome for World of Perfumers, he was working with a brief that was simultaneously deeply personal and deeply ambitious: capture the DNA of one of the most celebrated women's fragrances of the modern era — Born in Roma — and make it accessible to every Indian woman who deserves to smell this extraordinary.
Nikhil Singhal is the founder and master perfumer of World of Perfumers — India's finest destination for inspired luxury fragrances. His philosophy has always been precise and uncompromising: that the finest fragrance DNA in the world should not be the exclusive privilege of those who can afford ₹10,000+ for a bottle. That an Indian woman in Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur, or Kochi deserves to wear the same black currant, jasmine, and bourbon vanilla accord that graces the wrists of women in Paris, Milan, and New York. That great perfumery is not about a price tag — it is about the skill, the ingredients, and the vision of the perfumer who creates it.
With Rome, Nikhil brought that philosophy to one of the most technically demanding compositions in the inspired collection. The three-jasmine accord — Sambac, classic, and tea — is not a simple formula. It requires an understanding of how three varieties of the same flower interact at different stages of a fragrance's development, how each variety's character changes as it dries down, and how to balance their combined weight against the sparkling brightness of black currant and pink pepper above and the deep warmth of Bourbon Vanilla below. It is the kind of perfumery that Olivier Cresp and Anne Flipo — two of the finest perfumers working today — spent months perfecting for the original. Nikhil's task was to honour that complexity faithfully, using imported fragrance oils of the quality that the composition demands.
Every bottle of Rome that leaves the World of Perfumers workshop carries that intention: to give every Indian woman the fragrance she deserves. The fragrance that the global community called "confidence in a bottle." The fragrance that smells like the colour pink. The fragrance that makes you feel bold, beautiful, and entirely, magnificently yourself — from just ₹99.
Rome is not just an inspired fragrance. It is Nikhil Singhal's belief — made wearable — that every Indian woman deserves to smell world-class.
🌸 The Three Jasmine Accord — Why Born in Roma Changed Everything

What Does Born in Roma Actually Smell Like?
Born in Roma is one of those fragrances that resists simple description — which is exactly what the best fragrances do. Parfumo's review captures the complexity beautifully: "In the opening the soft spicy top notes come through and stay for some time, but it gets softer and the jasmine shines. In the drydown it becomes more woody with vanilla and fruit. Lovely sweet and delicious smelling, not gourmand but still sooooo delicious."
Fragrantica's most-voted review is more emphatic: "Born in Roma is THAT girl! Sweet, creamy, STRONG, floral and almost gourmand. It's like confidence in a bottle — strong enough to stand out, but still warm and feminine. When I wear it, I feel bold, pretty, and ready for anything."
Parfumo's detailed reviewer identifies the complete olfactory image: "Black currant providing dark soapy fruitiness, jasmine eliciting grassiness and a syrupy floral intensity, and velvety vanilla bourbon with its woody accents mostly provided by silky cashmeran. Bergamot and vibrant peppery citrus introduce a sparkling, energetic and dynamic bright opening, which is the background for a complex and multifaceted jasmine's rendition finally sliding into a modern silky oriental final wave."
The community's single most-quoted description? "It smells like the colour pink."

First Impression — Sparkling, Fizzy & Immediately Addictive
🍇 Opening
Black Currant, Pink Pepper & Bergamot — The Most Vivid Opening in the Born in Roma Collection
Black Currant, Pink Pepper & Bergamot — Rome's opening is immediately, unmistakably distinctive. Black currant (cassis) — the most sophisticated fruity note in perfumery, with its characteristic slightly dark, slightly soapy-sweet, tangy quality — arrives first with an energy that Parfumo describes as "dark soapy fruitiness." This is not simple berry sweetness but something more complex and more interesting: the specific tartness of cassis that has defined great feminine fragrances from Chanel Chance to La Vie est Belle.
Pink pepper — sparkling, slightly spicy, with a fizzy quality that is distinctive from black pepper — adds the "edgy touch inspired by Rome's street culture" that was described in the launch copy. It provides the fragrance's "modern" quality in the opening — the note that prevents Born in Roma from being simply another sweet floral and gives it the urban, slightly rebellious energy that the Rome street culture brief demanded. Bergamot adds a classic citrus elegance that bridges the fruity black currant and the spicy pink pepper into a coherent, beautiful opening that Parfumo calls "sparkling, energetic and dynamic."
Heart — The Couture Jasmine Masterpiece
🌺 Heart
Jasmine Sambac, Jasmine & Jasmine Tea — Three Varieties. One Extraordinary Accord.
Jasmine Sambac, Jasmine & Jasmine Tea — The heart of Rome is where Born in Roma earns its couture credentials — and where Olivier Cresp and Anne Flipo's most ambitious perfumery thinking translates into something genuinely extraordinary. Three jasmine varieties — a perfumery decision of real ambition and cost — create an accord of unprecedented complexity: simultaneously creamy and fresh, warm and cool, familiar and entirely new.
Jasmine Sambac — the most prized and most intensely floral jasmine variety, the base of Chanel No.5 and countless other legendary fragrances — provides lush, creamy, slightly indolic depth. Classic jasmine provides the rounded, green, slightly fruity quality of traditional jasmine perfumery. Jasmine tea — the most distinctive and most contemporary of the three — provides a fresh, aquatic, slightly grassy coolness. Parfumo's most celebrated review captures the effect beautifully: "A shower of pink pepper glitter rains on the creamy flowers, making them morph into a nice cup of jasmine green tea. The woody base also has a magical trick up its sleeve — it unfolds surprising soft pencil shaving notes."
Lasting Impression — The Luxury Foundation
🍦 Base
Bourbon Vanilla, Cashmeran & Guaiac Wood — The Warm, Woody, Enduring Signature
Bourbon Vanilla, Cashmeran & Guaiac Wood — The base of Rome is where the fragrance reveals its genuine luxury credentials and earns its "almost gourmand" reputation. Bourbon Vanilla — which the house specifically describes as "one of the most expensive ingredients in modern perfumery" — provides a rich, leathery, slightly smoky vanilla quality that is entirely different from synthetic vanilla. The official description: "Finishing notes of vanilla bourbon bring a rich, leathery, smoky aspect. A refined sense of darkness doubled with extreme sensuality, crucial to the intensity of the signature."
Cashmeran — one of the most sophisticated woody aromachemicals in modern perfumery, providing a warm, woody, slightly spicy, almost cashmere-like quality — is what gives Born in Roma its characteristic modern warmth. The official description: "The woody scent of cashmeran brings a vibrant heart to the fragrance — an unusually spicy note adds a layer, bringing a lively turn to this sensual note." Guaiac wood adds a smoky, slightly balsamic, dark woody quality that provides the final depth. The three together create what Fragrantica reviews describe as making Rome smell "like something extremely expensive and beautiful."
The Scent Journey — Hour by Hour
🍇 First 15 Minutes
Black currant arrives with its characteristic dark, fizzy, slightly tart energy — immediately distinctive, immediately addictive. Pink pepper adds its sparkling spice. Bergamot lifts everything with citrus brightness. The opening of Rome is like stepping into the Piazza Navona at noon in summer: vivid, sparkling, alive with energy and the smell of something genuinely beautiful. This is the opening that made Born in Roma one of the fastest-selling fragrances from this couture house in history — immediately compelling, immediately unlike anything else.
🌺 30 Min – 2 Hours
The three jasmine accord blooms — Sambac's creamy depth, classic jasmine's rounded warmth, jasmine tea's fresh coolness — simultaneously. The black currant's tartness softens into the jasmine with a beautiful fruitiness that gives the heart its characteristic sweet-floral quality. Parfumo: "The jasmine shines — lovely sweet and delicious smelling, not gourmand but still sooooo delicious." This is the phase that generates Rome's most passionate compliments and most enthusiastic repeat purchases. "THAT girl." "Confidence in a bottle."
🍦 2 – 5 Hours
Bourbon Vanilla rises — warm, leathery, slightly smoky, deeply luxurious. Cashmeran adds its distinctive warm-woody-slightly-spicy quality. The three jasmine heart becomes a warm floral memory threading through the vanilla-woody base. Parfumo: "In the drydown it becomes more woody with vanilla and fruit. The woody base has a magical trick — it unfolds surprising soft pencil shaving notes." The combination of black currant, jasmine, and Bourbon Vanilla in this phase is what makes Born in Roma genuinely, enduringly addictive.
✨ 5–10+ Hours
Guaiac wood, cashmeran, and the lingering warmth of Bourbon Vanilla create a smoky, warm, deeply beautiful skin trail. Fragrantica reviewers document exceptional longevity: "Excellent longevity on me, lasts almost an entire day." On clothing, the vanilla-woody-cassis character of Rome is detectable for 24+ hours. The final impression is warm, slightly smoky, fruity-floral — the complete Born in Roma signature, intimate and enduring. This is the drydown that makes women describe wearing Rome as feeling "bold, pretty, and ready for anything."
Compliment Factor
🏛️ Compliment Score: 9.3/10 — "Confidence in a Bottle" — One of the Most Complimented Women's Fragrances of Its Generation
Born in Roma generates compliments through a combination of immediate attention-grabbing appeal (the black currant-pink pepper-bergamot opening) and long-lasting, addictive warmth (the vanilla-jasmine drydown) that makes people ask hours after initial application. Makeup.com's beauty editor: "If you want a long-lasting perfume that's going to bring compliments from friends and strangers alike, this would easily be my top recommendation." Fragrantica: "This is THAT girl — sweet, creamy, STRONG, floral. When I wear it, I feel bold, pretty, and ready for anything."

💡 Why Born in Roma Changed the Couture House's Fragrance Identity: Before 2019, the house's fragrance portfolio was known for the original Born in Roma predecessor — a dark, sophisticated, mature oriental. Born in Roma was a deliberate, joyful rebirth: younger, brighter, more accessible, more celebratory. It connected the house's Roman couture heritage to the energy of Rome's contemporary street culture — graffiti, freedom, self-expression, the joy of a city that has been reinventing itself for 2,700 years.
The result was a fragrance that Basenotes describes as "a really versatile and easy going young ladies pleaser — suitable for daytime and nighttime, which could be worn as well by a more mature woman with a young and playful spirit." The black currant-jasmine-vanilla combination became so beloved that the house has released multiple flankers — Intense, Extradose, Yellow Dream, Coral, Green — each reinterpreting the original DNA. None have replaced the original. Because some DNA is simply perfect.
That perfect, generation-defining DNA is now available in India from ₹99 at World of Perfumers.

"A tangy blackcurrant meets a creamy jasmine on a comforting wood and vanilla base. A shower of pink pepper glitter rains on the creamy flowers, making them morph into a nice cup of jasmine green tea. The woody base unfolds surprising soft pencil shaving notes. Lovely sweet and delicious smelling, not gourmand but still sooooo delicious. Great lasting power, really good sillage."
— Parfumo Community
★★★★★
"A really versatile and easy going young ladies pleaser — suitable for daytime and nighttime, which could be worn by a more mature woman with a young and playful spirit. Black currant providing dark soapy fruitiness, jasmine eliciting grassiness and syrupy floral intensity, and velvety vanilla bourbon with its woody accents. Bergamot and vibrant peppery citrus introduce a sparkling, energetic and dynamic bright opening. Not unique or elegant as the original, but really pleasant and maybe even addictive."

FAQs — Rome Perfume
Is Rome similar to Born in Roma EDP?
Yes — Rome by World of Perfumers is directly inspired by Born in Roma EDP, the iconic 2019 fragrance created by master perfumers Olivier Cresp and Anne Flipo of Firmenich. It captures the same black currant-pink pepper-bergamot opening, three-jasmine accord (Sambac, classic, and tea) heart, and Bourbon Vanilla-Cashmeran-Guaiac Wood base DNA that made Born in Roma one of the most beloved and internationally celebrated fragrances — at a fraction of the ₹10,837 Myntra retail price. Made in India with imported fragrance oils.
What does Rome smell like?
Rome opens with black currant (dark, tangy, slightly fizzy) alongside pink pepper (sparkling, spicy) and bergamot (bright citrus elegance) — one of the most vivid and most immediately distinctive openings in any designer women's fragrance. The heart deepens into the three-jasmine accord: Jasmine Sambac (lush, creamy, slightly indolic), classic Jasmine (warm, rounded, green), and Jasmine Tea (fresh, cool, aquatic) — creating a jasmine complexity that Parfumo describes as unique. The base settles into Bourbon Vanilla (rich, leathery, slightly smoky), Cashmeran (warm, woody, spicy), and Guaiac Wood (dark, balsamic). Overall: fruity-spicy opening, complex jasmine heart, warm vanilla-woody base. Sweet, confident, beautiful.
Is Rome suitable for Indian weather?
Rome is particularly well-suited to India's spring and summer months (March–June), when the black currant-bergamot opening blooms most vividly in warmth and the jasmine heart reaches its most beautiful expression. In peak Indian summer heat, Rome's strong projection means 2–3 sprays is plenty for all-day presence. In Indian autumn and winter (October–January), the Bourbon Vanilla and Cashmeran base deepens beautifully in cool air. Basenotes describes Born in Roma as "a versatile and easy-going fragrance suitable for daytime and nighttime" — and that year-round versatility is genuine in India's diverse climate.
How long does Rome last?
Rome lasts 8–10+ hours on skin, with 24+ hours on clothing. Fragrantica reviewers document "excellent longevity — lasts almost an entire day." The Bourbon Vanilla, Cashmeran, and Guaiac Wood base notes are among the most tenacious materials in contemporary women's perfumery. Apply 2–3 sprays to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind ears — for all-day presence. Rome has a strong projection in the opening phase, so 2 sprays is usually sufficient for most environments. On clothing, the vanilla-jasmine character persists beautifully for 24 hours or longer.
What makes Born in Roma different from other jasmine fragrances?
Most jasmine fragrances use one jasmine note — typically Jasmine Sambac or classic jasmine. Born in Roma uses three simultaneously: Jasmine Sambac (the most lush and creamy variety), classic jasmine (the most familiar and rounded), and Jasmine Tea (the most contemporary and fresh). The combination creates a jasmine accord of unprecedented complexity — simultaneously warm and cool, familiar and new, classic and distinctly modern. The house called it "a Couture elegance made of three Jasmine flowers and accords" — and that is precisely what distinguishes Born in Roma's jasmine heart from every other jasmine fragrance in the designer space.
Is Rome a good gift for women in India?
Rome is one of the most prestigious and most universally appreciated women's fragrance gifts in the WOPS collection. This is Italy's most celebrated couture house — synonymous with Roman glamour, red carpet elegance, and the finest Italian craftsmanship. Born in Roma is the house's most beloved contemporary fragrance — worn by supermodel Adut Akech, described by Makeup.com as their top compliment-generating recommendation, and beloved globally for its "confidence in a bottle" quality. For Diwali, Valentine's Day, birthdays, Mother's Day, and any occasion requiring a women's gift of genuine prestige and genuine beauty — Rome from ₹99 is the answer.
