    Description

    Dulcis in Fundo captivates with an explosive burst of edible citrus fruits like tangerine, orange, bergamot, and lemon, evoking the bright zest of Sicilian groves. This vibrant opening transitions into a heart of tropical ylang-ylang, subtle apricot, and a dusting of cinnamon, before settling into a sublime, gauzy vanilla base enriched with sandalwood and amber for a restrained, creamy drydown. A fruity gourmand masterpiece that balances crisp freshness with indulgent warmth, perfect for vanilla lovers seeking sophistication without cloying sweetness. Launched in 2006, it embodies Profumum Roma's high-concentration artistry in every spritz.

    About PROFUMUM ROMA

    PROFUMUM ROMA
    Profumum Roma is an Italian niche fragrance house founded in 1996 by siblings Giuseppe, Luciano, Maria, and Felice Durante, grandchildren of knife sharpener Celestino Durante, who evolved their family's Roman barber shops into a perfumery legacy. The brand's philosophy centers on evoking personal emotions, memories, and Italian heritage through high-concentration (43-46%) scents inspired by Mediterranean culture, Roman history, and natural landscapes, using premium natural ingredients for long-lasting, story-driven fragrances like Acqua di Sale and Arso. What sets them apart is their artisanal, in-house production, rejection of market standardization, and immersive sensory experiences that transport wearers to evocative Italian moments.
