Heart Of Rome
Fragrance notes
Character
Heart Of Rome presents a mix of bourbon vanilla, jasmine sambac, black currant, guaiac wood, pink pepper, jasmine tea, cashmeran, and bergamot. The vanilla and currant give it a rounded, fruity warmth. Jasmine sambac and jasmine tea add a fresh, white floral layer that keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy. Guaiac wood and cashmeran bring a woody, musky base that leans powdery. Pink pepper and bergamot brighten the blend with a soft spicy and citrus edge. The overall character is floral, woody, and vanilla-forward without becoming cloying. It feels smooth and polished, sitting comfortably between casual and dressy. The scent works well in cooler weather and suits evening wear. It is unisex, though the vanilla and white florals may appeal more to those who enjoy soft, powdery compositions. The Dua Brand released this oriental floral fragrance in 2023.
The vanilla here is rich and dark, not sugary. The tea note adds a dry, slightly bitter contrast to the fruit. Wood and musk wrap around the florals to create a calm, steady presence. It smells like walking through a quiet courtyard where stone walls hold the warmth of the afternoon sun and a single flowering vine grows near a wooden bench.
