Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense EDP

Description

Born in Roma Uomo Intense is Valentino's warm, smoky-sweet reading of its blockbuster men's line, bourbon vanilla and wild lavender wrapped around a smoked vetiver base.

Released by the Italian house of Valentino in 2023 as the deeper, cold-weather counterpart to the original Born in Roma Uomo, the Intense trades the fresh original for an oriental-vanilla signature: an aromatic lavender-and-ginger lift up top, a creamy vanilla heart, and a dry, smoky vetiver drydown. Reviewers describe it as sweeter and more sensual than the standard Born in Roma, a comfortable compliment-getter that performs best when the weather turns cool.

Scent Character

• Spicy-aromatic: 40%
• Sweet (vanilla): 20%
• Lavender: 20%
• Woody (smoky vetiver): 20%

Translation: an aromatic vanilla, crisp lavender and ginger over a sweet, creamy vanilla, grounded by dry, smoky vetiver. Warm and sensual rather than fresh.

How long does it last?
Most wearers get 6–9 hours, with stronger performance in cool weather. A few find it more moderate, so sampling first is the smart move.

Is it a men's or unisex scent?
It's marketed for men, but the sweet vanilla-lavender profile wears comfortably unisex.

When should I wear it?
It's at its best in Fall and Winter for evenings and nights out, when its smoky-sweet warmth has room to bloom.
