Rome – Inspired by Born in Roma
Rome — Modern Roman Style in a Bottle
Inspired by One of the Most Popular Modern Vanilla Fragrances | Vanilla, Lavender & Vetiver | From ₹149 | Unisex
Starting from ₹149
Rome is a modern, warm, smooth and confident fragrance — inspired by Born in Roma Intense, the 2023 vanilla-lavender fragrance that became a social-media favourite for its simple, addictive, effortlessly stylish signature.
Just three notes, perfectly balanced. Creamy vanilla brings warm, inviting sweetness. Aromatic lavender adds clean, fresh sophistication. And earthy vetiver gives a smooth, woody depth that keeps it grounded and refined.
Rome — for those with an eye for style. Youthful. Confident. Effortlessly cool.
Rome is crafted by Nikhil Singhal, Founder & Master Perfumer of World of Perfumers. Working with fragrance oils sourced from Dubai, France and Switzerland, Nikhil personally balanced its sweet vanilla against fresh lavender and earthy vetiver so that everyone in India can wear this modern icon from just ₹149.
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.
Fragrance Profile — Notes & DNA
Vanilla — Rome opens with a warm, creamy vanilla that is instantly inviting. Smooth and rich rather than sugary, it gives the fragrance its addictive, cosy character from the very first spray.
Lavender — The heart brings clean, aromatic freshness. Lavender lifts the vanilla, adding a polished, slightly herbal elegance that keeps Rome modern, refined and wearable all day.
Vetiver — khus — grounds the fragrance with an earthy, slightly smoky, woody depth. It balances the sweetness and gives Rome its smooth, sophisticated, long-lasting finish.

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