Our Founder's Pride

After months experimenting and processing different ingredients, Joe landed on something remarkable. Roma Noir No.47 sparked another pivot and another passion.

Our Story

Put it like this. I was an entertainer in the music industry, riding a high, thought I was bigger than life. Thought I was bigger than God.

Then I got hit by a truck, had two spinal surgeries, and went down a very dark path of addiction. Then caught five charges. A DUI, a reckless driving, and an attempted murder. The attempted murder was a self-defense case and the charges got dropped.

I had to build my life from the ground up.

First it was moonshine. Then it was pasta sauce. And now it's luxury fragrance.

My name is Joe Gallagher. My wife Ryan is my co-founder and the reason any of this looks as good as it does. Together we've brought more than 23 products to market across three regulated industries. Roma Parfum is the most personal thing we've ever made.

*Why Extrait de Parfum*

Most fragrances you've worn are around 10 to 15 percent oil. They smell good for an hour and then they're gone. Extrait de parfum runs at 40 percent. It costs more to produce. It takes longer to formulate. It requires patience that most brands skip. We didn't skip it.

*Two Fragrances. One Standard.*

Roma Noir is dark, deep, and confident. Roma Bianca is clean, luminous, and addictive. Both small batch. Both hand-finished. Both built to last.

*Earned Luxury*

Roma Parfum is for people who've had to fight for what they have. If you've ever had to rebuild, this fragrance was made with you in mind.

Charleston, SC. Small batch. By hand. By us.
