🏛️ Vanilla. Lavender. Vetiver. Three Notes, One Modern Classic.

Launched in 2023, Born in Roma Intense proved that a fragrance doesn't need dozens of notes to be unforgettable. Sweet vanilla, aromatic lavender and earthy vetiver — balanced so perfectly that it became one of the most talked-about modern fragrances online.

Perfumers: Antoine Maisondieu & Guillaume Flavigny. Now in India from ₹149.

✨ Born in Rome — The Story of a Modern Classic

Rome has always been a city of contrasts — ancient and modern, classic and rebellious, elegant and effortlessly cool. In 2019, a legendary Roman fashion house launched its "Born in Roma" fragrance line to celebrate that spirit — the new generation of Romans who honour tradition while living by their own rules.

In 2023, the house released an Intense version that took a bold, minimalist approach. Perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavigny built it around just three notes: rich, creamy vanilla; clean, aromatic lavender; and smooth, earthy vetiver. Nothing more, nothing less.

The result was a fragrance that felt warm and sweet, yet fresh and refined — modern, versatile and easy to love. It quickly became a favourite of fragrance lovers on social media, praised for its compliment-pulling, effortlessly stylish character.

That smooth, modern, vanilla-lavender DNA is now available in India from just ₹149. Rome by World of Perfumers — Modern Roman Style in a Bottle.

🏛️ The Founder & Master Perfumer — Nikhil Singhal on Rome

Why Nikhil Singhal Created Rome

When Nikhil Singhal set out to create Rome for World of Perfumers, he was working with one of the most elegant briefs in modern perfumery: capture the DNA of the 2023 composition that Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavigny built from just three notes — vanilla, lavender and vetiver — a fragrance that proved simplicity can be unforgettable. And make it available from ₹149.

Nikhil Singhal is the founder and master perfumer of World of Perfumers — India's finest destination for inspired luxury fragrances. Trained in Dubai and drawing on fragrance oils sourced from Dubai, France, and Switzerland, his vision with Rome was clear: India's young, style-conscious generation loves warm, sweet, modern fragrances that work everywhere. Whether heading to college in Pune, the office in Gurugram, a date in Mumbai or a winter wedding in Jaipur — everyone deserves this modern classic. From just ₹149.

With Rome, Nikhil faced the defining technical challenge of a minimalist fragrance: with only three notes, every note must be perfect. Too much vanilla and it turns sugary; too much lavender and it reads like soap; too much vetiver and it becomes dry and earthy. The magic of Born in Roma Intense is in the balance — vanilla gives warmth and sweetness, lavender adds freshness and elegance, and vetiver grounds it with a smooth, woody finish. Nikhil calibrated the three in precise proportion, kept the vanilla creamy rather than sugary, and sourced vanilla, lavender and vetiver accords of the quality a modern classic deserves.

Every bottle of Rome that leaves the World of Perfumers workshop carries that intention: to give everyone in India the warmth, the style and the smooth, addictive trail of one of the most loved modern fragrances.

Rome is not just an inspired fragrance. It is Nikhil Singhal's belief — made wearable — that great style doesn't need to be complicated. That vanilla, lavender and vetiver belong to everyone in India. From ₹149.

What Does the Original Born in Roma Intense Actually Smell Like?

Born in Roma Intense is a warm, aromatic vanilla — sweet, fresh and smooth. The first spray is a rich, creamy vanilla, instantly inviting. Within minutes, clean, aromatic lavender rises through it, adding a fresh, polished elegance. The drydown is smooth and grounded: earthy, slightly smoky vetiver that gives the sweetness a refined, woody finish.

The overall impression: warm and sweet, but never heavy; fresh, but never sharp — a modern, versatile fragrance that smells stylish and expensive.

FAQs — Rome Perfume

What is Rome inspired by?

Rome by World of Perfumers is inspired by Born in Roma Intense Eau de Parfum, the 2023 fragrance created by perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavigny. It captures the same vanilla, lavender and vetiver composition — from ₹149, compared with the ₹9,400 MRP for 100ml on Sephora India. Made in India with imported fragrance oils from Dubai, France and Switzerland.

What does Rome smell like?

Rome opens with warm, creamy vanilla, followed by fresh, aromatic lavender, and settles into smooth, earthy vetiver. Overall: sweet, fresh, woody and modern — warm but never heavy.

Is Rome for men or women?

Rome is unisex. The original was marketed for men, but its vanilla-lavender-vetiver blend is loved by women too — warm and smooth on men, soft and elegant on women.

Why does Rome have only three notes?

That is its secret. Like the original, Rome is a minimalist fragrance — vanilla, lavender and vetiver balanced so precisely that each note shines. Fewer notes, done perfectly, make it clean, modern and instantly recognisable.

Is Rome good for Indian weather?

Rome is at its best in India's cooler months and in the evenings, but the lavender and vetiver keep it fresh enough for year-round wear. In summer daytime heat, 1–2 sprays are enough.

How long does Rome last?

Rome is made with a 30–40% perfume-oil concentration and lasts 8–12 hours on skin, with even longer presence on clothing.
