Valentino Uomo Born in Roma

- Travel-ready 3ml, 10ml, 30ml
- Long-lasting scent
Valentino Uomo Born in Roma by Valentino is a salty, mineral fresh scent with a green, spicy twist. It opens on mineral notes and salt, with violet leaf adding a cool, leafy snap. Ginger and sage warm the heart, keeping it aromatic and bright rather than sweet. Woods and vetiver settle it into a clean, slightly earthy dry-down. Launched in 2019, it is mostly worn by men who want something fresh that still feels grown-up. Voters wear it in autumn and spring, by day and into the evening, and it fits the office easily. Longevity gets a clear moderate vote from most wearers, and the same goes for its sillage. Wear a 10ml decant through a few weeks of office days and see whether it earns the bottle.
