The philosophy of PRO FVMVM ROMA is to associate a smell with a déjà vu, an emotion, a memory that evokes sensations and moments of well-being that are often experienced only once. It is not a question of following fashion or advertising, but rather of following something that is part of each person's experience in order to rediscover the pleasure of déjà vu that is specific to each person by linking it to a fundamental sense of smell. Real extracts, our fragrances (43% concentrated) offer excellent hold on the skin, allowing a remarkable evolution of olfactory notes over the hours.

the founder, la famille Durante

When at the end of the Second World War, Celestino Durante, leaving behind him the vicissitudes of the conflict, returned . Together with Luisa, who had become his wife, he decided to leave for Rome. Like him, many of them left. Each one followed his path and his dreams, each one straddling a bicycle equipped with the means of the trade and setting out to roam the city from one end to the other. The years have passed and the names of these young people are now spread out in the most beautiful streets of Rome. The remouleurs of Sant'Elena are now the most important perfumers of the Eternal City. Celestino and Luisa are now grandparents and have entrusted the reins and the care of believing in them to Giuseppe, Luciano, Maria and Felice and to the new generation: Claudia, Valeria, Virginia, Giulia and Alessandro.
