Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Eau de Toilette

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like this perfume, but is not an everyday scent for me. Personally I found it a little too strong at first, and I notice it does not have the best staying power on me. I like this for a night out

It has a good scent unfortunately not GREAT as it does smell a bit unisex and that's not what I typically go for but all-in-all i've gotten a few compliments on it and it is decent. 4/5 I suppose I would probably buy this again but honestly I may not…

[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. The fragrance opens with a sharp burst of citron, complemented by the aromatic freshness of violet leaves and ginger. As it settles, clary sage and mineral salt add a refined depth, uplifted by an energizing hint of peppermint. The base notes of leather, vetiver, and guaiac wood create a smooth, masculine foundation that lingers beautifully throughout the day.

[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 perfectly. The black studded design is inspired by Roman architecture and Valentino's fashion sense, and it feels premium in hand. It looks great sitting on a shelf and adds to the overall experience of owning the fragrance. Overall, Valentino Uomo Born in Roma EDT is a confident and sophisticated scent that I think hits the sweet spot between youthful energy and timeless style. If you're looking for something that stands out without being too loud, that smells modern but still refined, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a fragrance that feels well put-together — and it makes you feel the same way.

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.
