Description
Warm vanilla, fresh lavandin and smoky vetiver in an ambery fougère made for a night out in Rome.
Launched in 2023 and composed by Guillaume Flavigny and Antoine Maisondieu, Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Intense is the richer, more intense take on the Uomo Born in Roma line, and it is described as an ambery fougère. It opens with a spicy vanilla infusion and ginger, then lavandin and nutmeg bring a fresh, herbal heart. The drydown is smoked vetiver with warm, ambery vanilla, and the vanilla is described as unsweetened and slightly leathery rather than dessert-like.
🍊 Top: Vanilla Infusion · Ginger
🌸 Heart: Lavandin · Nutmeg
🪵 Base: Smoked Vetiver
Why you'll love it:
- ✅ Strong performance, with reviewers reporting around eight to ten hours and big projection for the first two to three hours
- ✅ Sweet but grown-up, with the vanilla kept in check by fresh lavandin and smoky vetiver
- ✅ Often called a compliment getter, and rated 4.8 out of 5 across more than 800 reviews at one major UK retailer
- ✅ Composed by Guillaume Flavigny and Antoine Maisondieu
- ✅ Made for autumn and winter evenings, nights out and date nights, with spring as a workable second season
Why sample first:
- 💸 A full 100ml bottle is around £110 at UK retailers, so it is worth being sure
- 🔬 Some people find it too sweet or a little linear, and it is not a hot weather or formal office scent, so wearing it on your own skin for a full day matters. A decant is the same juice as the bottle, so you get an honest read before you spend
- 📦 Available in 1ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml & 30ml
Our promise:
- 💯 100% authentic, decanted from a genuine retail bottle into spray vials
- 🚀 Fast UK dispatch
- ❤️ Try one of the most talked about modern vanilla fragrances for yourself, from just £3.49
Is Born in Roma Uomo Intense too sweet? It leans sweet, but the vanilla is not sugary. Lavandin and smoked vetiver pull it towards a warm, slightly smoky fougère rather than a dessert. If you usually avoid sweet fragrances it may still be a lot, so a 2ml or 5ml sample is a low-risk way to find out before committing to a bottle.
