The Story
Why it exists.
Rame takes its name from the Italian word for copper, echoing the reddish‑brown hue that inspired Fabrizio Tagliacarne in 2022. Drawing from Omnia Profumi’s Metals collection, the perfumer set out to fuse a gourmand sweetness with a mineral‑sharp salt, aiming to capture the tactile feeling of warm copper under a caramel glaze. The result is a unisex scent that mirrors the house’s philosophy of turning raw materials into liquid memories.

The Beginning
Rame takes its name from the Italian word for copper, echoing the reddish‑brown hue that inspired Fabrizio Tagliacarne in 2022. Drawing from Omnia Profumi’s Metals collection, the perfumer set out to fuse a gourmand sweetness with a mineral‑sharp salt, aiming to capture the tactile feeling of warm copper under a caramel glaze. The result is a unisex scent that mirrors the house’s philosophy of turning raw materials into liquid memories.
The juxtaposition of salted caramel and raw myrrh is unusual for a metal‑inspired line, yet Tagliacarne uses the resinous depth of myrrh to anchor the sweet‑salty accord, while cedar adds a dry, woody backbone that recalls copper’s earthy patina. Adding Sicilian citron brightens the opening, giving the composition a spark that prevents the gourmand side from becoming cloying, and lets the amber‑rich drydown emerge with clarity.
The Evolution
The opening bursts with a bright flash of Myrrh and cedar, the citrus bite of Sicilian citron lifting the blend before the salted caramel rushes in, its sugar‑laden edge tinged with a whisper of sea‑salt. Within minutes the heart unfolds: cocoa and cacao pod swirl with sugar, while a pinch of salt sharpens the gourmand core, creating a texture that feels both creamy and slightly briny. As the fragrance settles, the amber base emerges, deepening into a warm, woody veil supported by sandalwood and a whisper of white musk. Around the fifth hour the copper‑toned amber becomes the dominant scent, echoing the metallic inspiration, while the musk adds a soft, lingering skin‑kiss that can linger on clothing for up to ten hours. The evolution mirrors a copper bar cooling from a hot pour to a smooth, polished finish, delivering a sweet‑spicy journey that stays noticeable without overwhelming.
Cultural Impact
Since its 2022 debut, Rame has sparked conversation for marrying gourmand caramel with a salty, metallic edge, a rarity in the niche market. Wearers often compare its amber‑rich drydown to Baccarat Rouge 540, yet note a smoother, less medicinal finish. The fragrance has become a go‑to for those seeking a sweet yet grounded scent, earning a cult following among collectors of the Metals collection and appearing in seasonal round‑ups as a standout unisex gourmand.
