Launched in 2026, Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia by Alberto Morillas is an aromatic woody amber Eau de Toilette. The fragrance opens with a burst of cardamom, which quickly gives way to the creamy richness of coconut and the herbal freshness of lavender. These notes blend seamlessly into a warm, enveloping base of amberwood. This scent draws inspiration from memories of a night spent in a Roman palace, creating an atmosphere that is both nocturnal and nostalgic.

Application Tips
This fragrance is best applied in moderation — one or two sprays are sufficient to capture its rich character. The cardamom top note fades quickly but leaves behind a lingering warmth from the coconut and lavender heart notes. Allow it an hour for the amberwood base to fully settle, creating a more intimate scent that feels close to skin rather than projecting widely.
