Valentino Uomo Born in Roma was released in 2019. Created by Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavigny. A woody spicy with notes of minerals, violet leaf, salt, ginger, sage woods and vetiver This is an EDT, eau de toilette.
Fragrantica - "Fresh and a bit salty with a hint of something mineral and a touch of spice. Smells mature but not in an old school way. It smells expensive,masculine and classy, a bit like Fucking Fabulous from Tom Ford, but less sweet. It is a good choice if you´re looking for a fresh scent for winter. Sillage surprised me, it projects really well."
Fragrantica - "Italians love sweet things; foods, drinks, desserts. Born in Roma is a fragrance that captures the Italian addiction for salty-sweetness galore. The crazy amount of dislikes did not stop me to purchase this, I'm very happy I did, even though it does have a distinct familiarity with Invictus Intense. It smells very luxurious and fancy, definitely a compliment getter. The main player in this fragrance is the mineral note, very prominent, along with the salt note. They go together very well and make this fragrance woody-sweet and salty at the same time. Violet leaf and ginger freshen it up, while the vetiver dries it down perfectly."
Fragrantica - "Just a reminder that this is the "Invictus clone" that smells better than Invictus. I really do believe Born In Roma holds the torch in the Invictus comparisons for its subtle uniqueness; the dry-down is where it's at."
