Our take
What does Uomo Born in Roma smell like?
Launched in 2019, Uomo Born in Roma comes in a studded bottle borrowing the house’s codes and offers a very contemporary masculine wood. The opening is distinctive: mineral, salty notes, almost like wet stone, paired with a green, slightly metallic violet leaf. The heart brings zesty ginger and aromatic sage. The base combines modern woody notes and smoky vetiver in a very dry interpretation. The scent evokes Roman stone after rain, smoked wood and fresh skin. It is legible and highly effective, defined by the contrast between mineral and smoke.
When to wear it
Versatile, especially for evenings or casual outings; it suits younger men who like modern woods.
It belongs to the Woody, Spicy family. Uomo Born in Roma is one of 3 creations by Valentino in our encyclopedia.
