Born in Roma Uomo - Eau De Toilette

This is a delicious, long lasting scent. Smells masculine. It’s not too overwhelming but has great lasting power. The packaging is very nice and the bottle is attractive.

This is an excellent, subtle, but distinct scent that I really enjoy. It’s not aggressive but I notice it on myself hours into the day, which I am a big fan of.

A bold, modern, yet elegant fragrance

Valentino’s *Born in Roma Uomo* is a fragrance that stands out in the best possible way. The bottle alone is a piece of art — sleek, modern, and with an almost rebellious edge that perfectly mirrors the scent inside. The deep black glass is adorned with bold studs, giving it a rock-inspired, yet luxurious feel. It’s a perfect representation of the fragrance itself: strong, bold, and unforgettable. The scent opens with vibrant, mineral tones that bring an earthy, almost rugged quality. As it settles, the woody notes take center stage, grounding the fragrance with a deep warmth and richness. But what makes *Born in Roma Uomo* truly special is the unexpected touches of florals and herbs that emerge, adding a subtle complexity to the scent profile. These notes soften the fragrance just enough, giving it an intriguing balance of freshness and depth. What I love most about this cologne is how versatile it is. It’s undeniably a statement scent, one that commands attention and exudes confidence. While it’s traditionally marketed for men, I find it equally perfect for an edgy woman who wants to break away from convention and embrace something bold and distinctive. Whether you're wearing it on a night out or just want to feel empowered in your everyday routine, *Born in Roma Uomo* makes sure you’re always leaving a lasting impression. This fragrance lasted on my skin the whole night. I would recommend!

Great for Every Day

**Sillage: 8/10** This fragrance has a nice, noticeable scent that stays around you without being too strong. It leaves a pleasant trail but doesn’t overwhelm, making it great for most occasions. **Longevity: 7/10** It lasts a solid 6-8 hours, which is good for an everyday fragrance. It may start to fade after a while, so you might want a quick touch-up later in the day. **Notes: 9/10** Top: Mineral notes Middle: ginger and sage Base: I mainly get the woody notes here, not a ton of vetiver. **Overall: 8/10** Great all-around fragrance that’s stylish and easy to wear. It’s not super unique, but it’s very appealing and works well for both casual and more formal settings. Definitely a solid pick if you're looking for something fresh and sophisticated.

A fine strong fragrance, great for 20-somethings

Very strong scent, packaging is basic, but color scheme is nice. Projects loudly due to aroma chemicals. Versatile but generic, I could not tell a difference between this and any number of other newer releases.

Great Cologne for men

The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of violet leaf and spicy ginger. The longevity is moderate to long-lasting, making it suitable for all-day wear. This fragrance is versatile and works well for formal events, nights out, or even casual occasions.

This scent nailed it

This Valentino cologne delivers an exquisite woody, aromatic scent with warm and spicy notes that are incredibly pleasing to the nose. From the very first spray, I’m greeted with a refined blend of woody and earthy tones that immediately exude sophistication. As it settles, the fragrance transforms into a soft, subtle, and inviting scent that lingers beautifully without being overpowering. This is truly a head-turner, perfect for any occasion whether you're up for a night out or simply want to make a lasting impression during the day. The balance between elegance and masculinity makes this cologne a must-have for men who appreciate luxury, refinement, and timeless appeal. If you’re looking for a signature scent that combines warmth, depth, and class, this is definitely one to consider. Highly recommended!

Fresh, fruity, and not too overpowering

This fragrance smells fresh and a bit fruity to me. After the initial spritz it smells a bit sweet but it mellows out after 20 minutes or so to a more subtle smell. My husband enjoyed the scent although he felt like it was a little bit sweet smelling for him. I feel like this fragrance isn’t overpoweringly masculine so the females can definitely use this too if they prefer something not too floral. Fragrance didn’t last very long though, probably 2 hours tops before I couldn’t smell it anymore. Packaging is very nice and I love how the bottle looks.

Valentino Uomo EDT feels like effortless sophistication in a bottle. From the first spray, the smooth blend of bergamot and roasted coffee instantly drew me in—it’s warm, slightly sweet, but never overpowering. The hazelnut note adds a creamy richness that makes it feel unique, while the leather and cedar in the base give it that refined, classic edge. It’s the kind of scent that feels put-together without trying too hard—perfect for a relaxed yet confident vibe. I love how it lingers subtly throughout the day, making it a go-to for evenings out or even just when I want to feel a little extra polished.

Subtly sweet with woody and gingery backing

Received this product for free to review, but here are my honest thoughts: Valentino’s Uomo Born in Roma EDT is a mix if various gingery sage-like woody leaf notes. Although it smells lightly salty on its own, it leaves behind a surprisingly subtle sweet scent, especially on my skin. Not too overpowering, it projects well and reminds me of a sweeter version of some YSL scents. It doesn’t offend and would be week well suited for spring, summer, and even fall seasons. I favor these more smooth and subtle scents, as they tend to be more warm and inviting. This woody aroma is very well balanced and I’d wear it for nearly any occasion.

A Bold Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Valentino’s Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Toilette strikes a compelling balance between classic sophistication and a modern twist. From the first spritz, the fragrance reveals a vibrant opening with crisp citrus notes that seamlessly give way to a spicy, aromatic heart. The dry-down is where its true character shines—a smooth, woody base that exudes both warmth and confidence. The scent manages to be both versatile and distinctive, making it suitable for daytime engagements as well as evening affairs. Its longevity is solid, with a moderate sillage that leaves a memorable yet non-overpowering trail. Overall, Uomo Born in Roma is a refined fragrance that pays homage to its Roman heritage while embracing a contemporary edge. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and bold character to their fragrance collection.

Versatile and intense

This is a versatile and modern fragrance suitable for any occasion. Its captivating blend of notes appeals to both me and my spouse, making it a universally attractive scent. The iconic studded bottle, inspired by Roman architecture, adds a touch of sophisticated elegance to this well-crafted fragrance. It is quite intense so it wouldn't be my everyday option
