This is an aromatic fougere style fragrance with lots of vetiver and a unique mineral accord. The fragrance has excellent projection for the first couple of hours, leaving a trail of sillage behind you. Though it is a pleasant scent, I don't find it to be very unique. It is a rather typical modern men's scent profile. It's a good choice for a date night or a casual night out with friends. It could also be used as an office scent, but I would go easy on the sprays because it is very potent, especially for the first couple of hours. The bottle design is one of the coolest in the designer fragrance world and really stands out in your collection.

Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is a bold and sophisticated fragrance that blends modernity with classic elegance. The scent opens with fresh, spicy notes of ginger and violet leaf, balanced by a warm base of vetiver and smoky wood, creating a refined and captivating aroma. The bottle design is striking, featuring a studded black exterior that embodies Valentino’s edgy yet luxurious aesthetic. It’s a true statement piece for any collection. In terms of performance, this fragrance offers moderate longevity and a decent projection, making it ideal for both day and evening wear. Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a modern twist on traditional masculine scents.

I recently tried Valentino Born in Roma EDT and I'm genuinely impressed. The fragrance opens with a burst of fresh bergamot and juicy blackcurrant, which gives it a vibrant and energetic start. As it settles, the heart reveals a beautiful blend of jasmine and violet, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance. The base notes of vanilla and cedarwood provide a warm, creamy finish that lingers pleasantly without being overwhelming. The packaging is sleek and modern, reflecting the chic and contemporary essence of the scent. It’s versatile enough to wear for both day and night, making it a great addition to any perfume collection. My only minor critique is that the projection could be a bit stronger, but overall, it’s a delightful fragrance that embodies modern ... MoreI recently tried Valentino Born in Roma EDT and I'm genuinely impressed.

My thoughts are this is a refined Invictus dna with a little twist. It takes away the harsh Chem side of the scent profile and smooths it out perfectly. This lasts on my skin and clothes 8-10 hours. The projection is about 1-2 hours and sits close to the skin after and that’s the trade off. Invictus projects and is said to be beastly but to wearer it can come off harsh but in the air it’s a compliment beast. This on the other hand takes that dna and tones it down and makes it more refined. To the point it can be worn anywhere anytime. I’ve gotten 3 full days of wear and I’m starting to love this. I was between this and Invictus and need further testing but this May work better for me as I am close to 40 and Invictus can be geared toward a younger crowd.

Overall you can’t go wrong with this if your looking for a sweet, well blended Invictus type dna with a woodsy backbone and drydown. Samples are hard to get since it’s a popular scent but it’s readily stocked at major department stores and cosmetic retailers so it shouldn’t be a problem to sniff in person. I think it’s a little expensive for a designer scent but at the end of the day you get what you pay for with the quality of the blend and scent.

A Deliciously Aromatic Fragrance.

My goodness indeed... I was torn between this or Green Stravaganza, but decided to try this first, and I haven't been disappointed since.The first note that graces your nose, is this slightly powdery, but VERY rich vanilla bourbon. It's like a toasted vanilla bean, whipped into a hint of ginger. It's warm, and inviting, and fills the room space with a couple sprays.As the Lavandin fills your nose, it's slightly earthy, very herbaceous, and smells heavenly. This pairs with the Vanilla so beautifully here, it's inviting, pulls the attention of people caught in your sillage.During the dry down, you begin to experience the toasted Vetiver, it compliments the vanilla well, giving off a slightly dusty facet to the richness of the scent.Everything about this I love, ... MoreMy goodness indeed...

Can't wait to buy another bottle!!!

Ignore The Haters

Guys (and girls because the vanilla in this one is making it lean comfortably unisex in my opinion) do not listen to the haters or the YouTube influencers who say this fragrance is trash! One sniff off a test strip made my eyes roll lol! It smells so good that I actually am tempted to buy it for myself and I'm a woman. This is youthful, but not juvenile, and brings a warmer, darker aspect to the OG Uomo Born in Roma. Perfect scent for cooler weather and a definite date night compliment getter. I would also say this is signature scent worthy and even office appropriate as long as you don't go crazy with the sprays. People will appreciate this warm, sweet, yet earthy/woody scent, trust me!

One of my absolute new favourites!

After spending considerable time with Valentino Uomo, thanks to Smartson, it has effortlessly become one of my favorites in my fragrance collection. The initial burst of bergamot and myrtle is invigorating, creating a memorable introduction that always captivates my senses. Having tested it extensively, I've come to appreciate the enchanting heart notes of roasted coffee and gianduja, which add a unique warmth and sophistication. It's the kind of fragrance that grows on you, and the lasting embrace of cedar and leather in the base notes has solidified its place as a personal go-to. Valentino Uomo, with its distinctive blend, has become an integral part of my daily style, effortlessly balancing elegance and individuality

SUCH AN UNIQUE AND AN INCREDIBLE PERFUME

I've always liked collecting and smelling to new perfumes and colognes but there is something different and unique about the scent of this Valentino Men UOMO - BORN IN ROMA INTENSE eau de parfum perfume. It smells luxurious and expensive. There is a woody, feminine smell twist to it that I really like. It is not too overpowering but not a cheapscent either. I really like how it smells and lasts for hours on me. A COOL TRICK IS TO ALSO PUT VASELINE AFTER YOU APPLY THE PERFUME SO IT STAYS LONGER AND THE SCENTDOESN'T LEAVE FROM YOUR SKIN THAT QUICKLY. But nonetheless, this is the best perfume I am sure l've ever tried in my lifetime. There is just something about this perfume that makes you smell fresh, clean and incredibly nice smelly. BUY THIS PERFUME AND STOP WHAT ... MoreI've always liked collecting and smelling to new perfumes and colognes but there is something different and unique about the scent of this Valentino Men UOMO - BORN IN ROMA INTENSE eau de parfum perfume.

Very good smell worth the money

I bought this cologne around September because I wanted some new cologne for school and I was researching good colognes and I kept seeing this one so I asked a friend and he said it was a really good cologne and that I should buy it so I did and it was soooo good!It has a nice fresh aquatic, mineral, and aromatic scent, and once it dries down you get hints of ginger and sage, and eventually you get that nice woody scent. It's a good cologne for the spring, summer, and fall. Kinda good for winter but not that much which I wish was a better winter cologne because winter colognes are so good. But you can use it for almost any occasion during the day and during the night. It is very versatile.It reminds me of a kind of fresh summer day outside, definitely a scent I ... MoreI bought this cologne around September because I wanted some new cologne for school and I was researching good colognes and I kept seeing this one so I asked a friend and he said it was a really good cologne and that I should buy it so I did and it was soooo good!It has a nice fresh aquatic, mineral, and aromatic scent, and once it dries down you get hints of ginger and sage, and eventually you get that nice woody scent.

One of my favorites in the valentino line. It's perfect for warmer days with a heavy scent with good projection. The atomiser on it is pretty good, it has a nice spray and it has a wide spray. Let's compare it to the Dior sauvage, Valentino is 107 dollars and dior sauvage is 115 dollars so the better option is valentino for me cause its good for all occasions, lasts longer, is cheaper and personally it smells way better than the dior sauvage.
