A fragrance retailer on Via della Lungaretta, with a selection the shop describes as continually evolving.
On Via della Lungaretta
Roma Store Profumi is at Via della Lungaretta 63, in Trastevere, Rome. It describes itself as an artistic and selective perfumery.1
A selective perfumery
For fragrance enthusiasts, the shop describes itself as an artistic and selective perfumery, focused on fragrance selection.1
A selection that changes
The shop describes its catalogue as continually evolving, from milestones in artistic perfumery to newer international releases. It credits the selection to Roberto Zuliani, identified by the shop as its proprietor.2
Put names to the selection
The interest of Roma Store Profumi lies in the range of different perfume houses that can enter one conversation. Nobile 1942, Meo Fusciuni, Lorenzo Villoresi, Laboratorio Olfattivo and Carthusia appear in the published selection, alongside international names such as Naomi Goodsir and Andy Tauer. This gives a visitor more to work with than the broad term “niche”. Choose two or three houses to ask about rather than treating the entire list as a challenge to smell everything.2
A house in the selection is not a stock guarantee. Confirm the exact perfume, concentration, bottle size and availability of a tester before building a visit around it.2
Make “fresh” a more precise request
An example from one listed house shows how to sharpen the conversation. Laboratorio Olfattivo’s Bergamotto, composed by Jean-Claude Ellena, is a Parfum Cologne built around the named notes of Calabrian bergamot, bitter orange, cardamom and white musk. Those are the maker’s descriptive notes, not a sensory verdict from our own testing. Ask whether that composition, or a suitable comparison, can be sampled; its presence in the maker’s catalogue does not prove it is in this shop.3
Instead of asking only for something fresh, explain what you want to keep and what you would like to avoid: a clear citrus opening, less sweetness, a discreet presence, or a different feeling after the first impression. Bring the name and concentration of a fragrance you already know. This lets the discussion begin with an actual reference rather than a row of attractive bottles.
Give the comparison some time
- Ask for a small, contrasting selection and label each blotter with the exact name.
- Return to the same strips after a pause and note which impression changed.
- If you choose to try one on skin, ask before applying and follow the product’s instructions.
- Keep the name and concentration so your later decision concerns the same perfume.
