Citrus and Leather go well together

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Toilette is a sophisticated and modern fragrance that effortlessly blends elegance with a rebellious edge.

Fresh and sophisticated

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Valentino Uomo Born in Roma has quickly become a staple in my fragrance rotation. From the very first spray, it made a strong impression, and the more I wear it, the more I appreciate its complexity and balance. The scent opens with a unique blend of mineral notes, violet leaf, and a touch of sea salt. That combination creates a fresh and vibrant introduction that feels both clean and bold. It’s not your typical citrusy fresh — it has a refined edge that immediately sets it apart. After a few minutes, the mid notes come forward, where the ginger and sage bring a subtle spice and aromatic quality. It’s that little kick of warmth and energy that keeps things interesting without being overwhelming. The dry down is what really sold me. Once it settles on the skin, you get a warm, woody base of vetiver and other woods that adds depth and a sense of elegance. It has this smooth, masculine finish that feels grounded and classy — not too heavy, but definitely noticeable. The whole evolution of the scent from top to base notes is well-blended and feels thoughtfully crafted. As far as performance goes, it lasts a good while on me, especially on clothes — I can still catch hints of it the next day. On skin, I’d say I get around 6–8 hours depending on the weather. Projection is moderate, which I actually like because it doesn’t overpower a room, but it’s strong enough to get noticed when someone’s close. I’ve had several compliments while wearing this, especially on evenings out or date nights. Versatility is another big win with this fragrance. It strikes a nice balance between fresh and woody, making it work for both daytime and evening wear. I’ve worn it to casual brunches, work meetings, and even formal events — and it never felt out of place. It’s modern but still classy enough to carry a sense of maturity and style. The bottle design deserves its own shout-out. It’s stylish, edgy, and reflects the fragrance p

A must buy!

Very good scent. Packaged very well so you don’t have to worry about breakage. Scent projection is pretty far whether you’re in a big room or small.

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.

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!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] attractive bottle with a unique design. a flowery, citrusy, fresh summer fragrance. There is no bottle leaking, and a single spray produces a large amount of spray. lasts for a long time—basically the entire day—but near the end of the day, it somewhat shifts to a more floral aroma. Excellent bargain for the wonderful aroma.
