The "simple" that was very well built!
A perfume with great quality and very high "pleasantness". I really like sweet perfumes and this one falls into that category, but how can I say... It has a sweetness that is very different from other perfumes that I like. Perhaps the vanilla here is somehow lighter and I can feel the lavender part much more, bringing a refreshing/aromatic aspect. I agree with some colleagues who said that it is not a complex aroma, but it manages to do the "simple" of vanilla/lavender very well. After the dry down, you can still feel the lightness that the perfume transmits, but with some more "woody" notes... But still in a way very light!!
On my skin, I managed to get an OK - good performance, with projection and lasting power of (2h - 3h) and (8h - 10h) respectively. I would say it could be used more for cold weather (day or night) and those days with a bit of sun and a bit of a colder breeze, with an autumn vibe. I don't know if I can consider it a "party" perfume, I easily believe that it can be overshadowed by other perfumes out there with greater projection and sweeter aromas (vanilla, toffee, caramel, fruity, etc.).
If you already like perfumes that are a bit sweet and especially perfumes with lavender, it's worth getting to know and trying. Don't expect a totally unique, complex and innovative aroma from this one. What it delivers is a perfume that is very appealing to the public and a light and very pleasant aroma throughout its evolution. It's definitely worth having in your collection but also getting to know the others versions of Valentino Uomo line...
Almost done with the bottle. Bought it at a Macy’s for full price. Will admit, didn’t like it at first and never wore it. Idk what happened after, but I started wearing it again and fell in love. I wish this was my natural musk, I used to wear this everywhere and whenever, but I try not to now since it’s almost finished. Favorite fragrance for sure. The smell? I would say more on the Lavender size? I’m not a notorious note man but yea.
Great candy sweet fragrence a little feminine to some but it’s a great compliment getter
I don’t even know what to say about Born in Roma Intense, how did we get here? What happened to the gorgeously seductive and sophisticated allure of the original Valentino Uomo? It seems the brand has lost all creativity and ingenuity unfortunately. You can look at the note breakdown all you want, it’s just marketing. The scent doesn’t smell even remotely similar to what the notes suggest, it’s just an explosion of messy synthetic aroma chemicals going down the path of harsh and screechy shower gel. There’s no rhyme or reason behind the composition. It feels like this fragrance was slapped together with the cheapest possible ingredients by a 5 year old. I honestly cannot fathom how such a poor scent can be so popular.
When I smell this I think sexy. That’s it. Great smell, your partner will love it as well.
