EDP · 2006 · unisex

Profumum Roma is an Italian fragrance house known for clean, architectural scents that prioritize transparency and quality ingredients. Founded in Rome, the brand has built a reputation for restrained elegance and a minimalist approach to composition.

Acqua Viva opens with a bright burst of citrus -- bergamot, citron, grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin orange create an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. The heart brings in woody and aromatic elements, with cedar, eucalyptus, petitgrain, and vetiver adding structure and a slightly herbaceous quality. The base settles into a woody, slightly sweet finish with ambroxan, patchouli, and sandalwood, giving the fragrance surprising depth beneath its airy top notes.

This is a classically clean fragrance that works across seasons and genders, though it leans slightly brisk and masculine in character. It's best suited for everyday wear, office environments, or anyone seeking a citrus scent with a woody backbone rather than a purely fresh cologne. The composition feels smart and measured, never cloying. Acqua Viva aligns with The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader.

bergamot
bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
citron
citron
One of the oldest cultivated citrus fruits with a thick, intensely aromatic rind and a complex, slightly bitter, deeply floral-citrus character. Citron is more herbal and woody than lemon, with a gravity that makes it useful in both opening and heart notes. A hallmark of Jewish ceremonial culture repurposed into fine fragrance.
grapefruit
grapefruit
Bittersweet and juicy with a faintly metallic zing that sets it apart from sweeter citrus notes. Grapefruit is uniquely energising, it reads as clean and modern rather than traditionally 'citrusy.' It pairs effortlessly with musks, making it a staple of office-safe, all-day fragrances.
lemon
lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
mandarin orange
mandarin orange
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
cedar
cedar
eucalyptus
eucalyptus
Sharp, clean, and camphorous with a medicinal clarity that is instantly recognizable. Eucalyptus adds an invigorating, almost spa-like freshness to fragrances, it clears the air in every sense. Often used in aquatic and sporty compositions to signal clean energy and vitality.
lime
lime
Crisper and greener than lemon, with a faint bitterness that keeps it from smelling like a cocktail mixer. Lime zest has a raw, almost herbaceous quality that pairs naturally with aquatic and green accords. It signals freshness and informality, the note of beach bars and gym-fresh colognes.
petitgrain
petitgrain
Crisp, woody, and slightly bitter, petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, making it the green, herbal sibling of neroli and bergamot. It adds a clean, aromatic freshness to masculine fragrances in particular, with a slightly soapy, barbershop quality that is effortlessly wearable.
vetiver
vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Base · 3–12 hrs
ambroxan
ambroxan
The molecule responsible for the warm, skin-amplifying quality of many modern fragrances, ambroxan (Ambrox) is a synthetic compound derived from ambergris that creates an almost invisible warmth. It doesn't smell strongly on its own but makes everything around it feel richer, closer, and more like skin. The secret weapon of countless contemporary bestsellers.
cedar
cedar
patchouli
patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
sandalwood
sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
