The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Valentino and crafted by perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavigny, Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense is a sophisticated blend of oriental vanilla accords. The fragrance opens with the warmth of vanilla, providing an immediate sense of comfort and richness. This sweetness gives way to lavender, adding a fresh yet calming layer that transitions smoothly into vetiver's earthy depth. The interplay between these notes creates a composition that feels both modern and lasting, embodying the essence of Roman elegance.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the vanilla top note is rich but fades within an hour. The lavender and vetiver base notes develop fully on skin over time, so a lighter application allows these deeper layers to shine through.
