Valentino Born in Roma - Eau de Toilette Profumo Uomo

Masterpiece of a fragrance that turns heads

Recently I was given an opportunity to try out a fragrance from Valentino called Born in Roma EDT. While using the fragrance for a month I honestly fell in love with the fragrance. I noticed how the fragrance had nice blend of fresh notes along with sweet, woody, and spicy notes. This complex blend created a fragrance that I feel can be used year round and for any occasion. When I first sprayed the fragrance, I was met with a fresh and woody profile. This would over time dry down to a gently sweet scent with a dash of spice. With all the years of collecting, I have yet came across a fragrance that was this complex and well crafted such as this fragrance. In my opinion I would call this fragrance a masterpiece. To go in more specifics of the note breakdown of the fragrance, the fragrance opens up with initial note of violet leaf. This would then dry down to sage that would slowly fade into a vetiver note. In addition, the fragrance had a great projection as I caught the attention of several people as well as received compliments while using the fragrance. Along with the projection, the fragrance had a great longevity of 6-8 hours. Not only was the fragrance captivating it also had an elegant bottle design alongside with packaging that exuded luxury. The bottle features the Valentino signature design that is found across bags and even shoes. Not only does the bottle look good, it also has a nice heft to it as well. In conclusion, if I were looking for a captivating scent that could be a signature scent that is used year round, I would definitely go for born in roma as it is a memorable unique scent that blends notes so well that it can be used in any season and any occasion. I will definetly be adding this fragrance to my rotation as I really enjoyed this scent over the month of wearing the scent along with the compliments I had received.

Great scent

Great scent! Everyone that vibes near asks what my fragrance is and I get tons of compliments. It has a very noticeable scent that even I love the way I smell.

Very nice

Intoxicating blend of spicy ginger, vetiver and mineral salt. Bold yet refined. A sophisticated urban fragrance that lingers with quiet confidence.

Great cologne

Review of Valentino Cologne I recently had the pleasure of trying out Valentino cologne, and overall, I'm quite impressed with its performance and fragrance. The scent is sophisticated and has a distinctive character that sets it apart from other colognes in the market. The blend of notes offers a refreshing yet bold aroma, making it suitable for both day and evening wear. It has a decent longevity, lingering subtly throughout the day without being overpowering. The bottle design is elegant and reflects the luxurious feel of the brand. While I thoroughly enjoyed the fragrance, I believe there's always room for improvement, perhaps in enhancing the staying power a bit more. Hence, I would rate Valentino cologne 4 out of 5 stars. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a classy and versatile scent.

Wow!!!

Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is an absolute masterpiece. From the very first spray, it strikes the perfect balance between elegance and edge. The opening is rich and warm, with vibrant notes of violet leaf and mineral salt that feel fresh yet masculine. As it settles, the vetiver and woody undertones give it a sophisticated depth that lingers beautifully on the skin. What really sets this fragrance apart is its versatility—it’s bold enough for a night out but smooth and refined for everyday wear. The performance is impressive, lasting for hours without being overpowering. I’ve received countless compliments while wearing it. The bottle itself is stunning—luxurious, modern, and as stylish as the scent inside. Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is truly a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their fragrance game. Five stars without a doubt.

Nice Everyday Scent

Starting off with the presentation. It's nice looking bottle. Similar to the Valentino Uomo line. The cap/atomizer has been improved from the style used a few years ago. As for the scent, I get a lot of violet leaf with some sage. The violet leaf has nice metallic touch. I don't get much woods in the base, maybe a little Vetiver. The Violet leaf sticks around the whole time. It's a good everyday day scent. I get some Invictus vibes but they are different. Projection is ok and it lasted about 5 hours on my skin

Modern design, classic scent

Bottle looks very sleek and modern. The smell is strong but not pungent, with one spray lasting all day. It has quickly become one of my go to colognes!

Sexy, Playful, Masculine

Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Cologne whispers seduction with its woody-spicy allure, a dance of contrasts that captivates the senses. Imagine the cool, vibrating edge of mineral salt and spicy ginger igniting the air, entwining with the aromatic sage’s earthy caress. Smoked vetiver and mellow woods linger like a lover’s breath on your skin, warm and intimate, while violet leaves add a delicate, metallic shimmer—a modern twist on classic masculinity.

Aquatic, sweet, and versatile for warm evenings.

This fragrance is aquatic and sweet. Hints of sea salt and marine notes reminds you of walking down the beach on a late summer afternoon. This fragrance is unisex to my nose, and would be a good addition for high heat weather. There is some underlying sweetness to it, and is pretty uplifting and versatile.
