I'm so happy you found something enjoyable in Roma, it's a rather scorned oriental, but it deserves recognition, something wearable about it. I like your comparison to Shalimar and the nuanced breaking down.

Thank you for that. I quite like it. I agree with your comparisons with Must and Dune, and I might add Shalimar. While Must's pineapple note goes a bit over my limit, and Dune gets too sweet too fast for me, Roma strikes a lovely balance.
