Profumum Roma
The Story of the Brand
The story begins in Rome, where the Durante family has owned a perfumery on Piazza Ponte Umberto I for generations. In 1996, they decided to create their own fragrances under the name PRO FVMVM ROMA: per fumum, through smoke, after the ancient ritual of burning fragrant resins and herbs. Each fragrance is a memory of a precise moment, personally lived or imagined, brought to new life.
The Signature of the House
Profumum Roma works with an exceptionally high concentration of around 43 percent. The fragrances develop on the skin during the first half hour and then remain present for hours. The compositions are clearly built around a few precious raw materials, so that each note can show itself fully. The heavy glass bottles with their red cap are instantly recognisable.
Collections
The collection ranges from Mediterranean freshness, such as Acqua di Sale, Acqua Viva and Ichnusa, to gourmands like Acqua e Zucchero, Dulcis in Fundo and Sorriso. There are also deep amber and incense scents such as Ambra Aurea, Olibanum and Arso, and lavish florals like Tuberosa, Rosae Mundi and Sabbia Bianca. Each fragrance comes in 100 ml and often also as a convenient 18 ml travel spray.
Popular Fragrances
Acqua di Sale is world-famous as the most beautiful sea fragrance. Acqua e Zucchero and Dulcis in Fundo are beloved gourmands, Ambra Aurea is a reference among amber fragrances, and Olibanum is considered one of the finest incense scents.

Why Fragrance Has No Gender
In niche perfumery, it is not about categories but about experience.
Many niche houses do not create their perfumes specifically for men or women. Instead, they tell a story, evoke a memory or bring an emotion to life. The scent takes centre stage, not the gender of the wearer.
At ParfuMaria, we believe a fragrance has no gender. Every scent develops in its own way through the natural chemistry of your skin. At Profumum Roma, too, you are free to choose, however a scent is described.
So try not to be guided too much by terms such as women, men or unisex. The most beautiful fragrance is not the one that fits a certain box, but the one in which you recognise yourself and which you enjoy wearing.
A fragrance does not choose a gender. A fragrance chooses a personality.
