Fumidus

• Night out
• Cosy
• Evening

Fumidus by Profvmvm Roma opens on a dry, dense smoke, almost raw, like wood that has just burnt.

From the opening, the smoke is thick, almost dry, with burnt woody and resinous accents. The effect is direct and close, like a fire still warm and giving off a muted heat.

Then the fragrance gains depth. The notes grow darker and rounder, with a slightly amber, balsamic facet that softens the smoke without making it disappear. The whole stays dense, almost meditative.

Over time, Fumidus settles into a warm, lasting base where the smoke turns softer, almost velvety, while keeping its strong signature. Its presence is deep, embracing and very distinctive.

Profvmvm Roma is an Italian perfume house founded in Rome in 1996 by four siblings: Giuseppe, Luciano, Maria and Felice Durante. Their story starts much earlier, in a village in Molise, where their grandfather Celestino came home from the war with very little. The village knife grinders went on to become the most important perfumers in the Eternal City. When the perfume market swung towards globalisation and standardisation, the four siblings no longer recognised themselves in it. They felt manipulated, no longer free in their own work. In 1996, they founded Profvmvm Roma. A direct answer to uniformity: juices formulated at around 43% concentration, built on 8 to 10 essential raw materials, one of which clearly dominates, so that each fragrance expresses an emotion rather than a generic accord. Perfumes that evolve on the skin for hours, that make as much of a mark as they keep you company. What you wear with a Profvmvm Roma is a fragment of that path: from the mountain village to the streets of Rome. An artisan house, in the most natural sense of the word.
