Born in Roma Green Stravaganza (released 2024) is a vibrant addition to the Uomo line. It merges fresh bergamot, invigorating coffee, and green vetiver to create an energetic, modern twist inspired by Rome’s lush gardens and youthful flair (reddit.com).
The opening bursts with Calabrian bergamot, offering crisp citrus zest. Soon after, a clear coffee accord emerges—dark, smooth, and clean without any dry, bitter edge (ifragranceofficial.com).
As it dries down, the scent softens into a green vetiver base, supported by subtle star anise and woody undertones. The result is a well-balanced fougère that ties freshness to a cozy, green-tinged warmth .
