Valentino Born in Roma Intense Uomo Eau de Parfum amplifies the Born in Roma DNA with an addictive ambery fougere signature that feels suave from the first spray. It opens with crisp aromatic lavandin, melts into a rich swathe of vanilla bourbon that reads dark and sensual, and settles on smoky vetiver for a smooth, elegant trail that evokes Roman nights and confident modern style.

Story & Positioning
Born in Roma Intense Uomo deepens the original Born in Roma idea of edgy Roman elegance, trading daytime freshness for night time allure. Think sleek jacket, city lights, and a confident smile. The aromatic lift of lavender meets a creamy vanilla core, with polished woods underneath, making it a versatile evening choice for dates, celebrations, and dressed-up social settings. Fans who enjoy modern lavender and vanilla pairings often compare its vibe to YSL Y Eau de Parfum Intense and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum, while it remains a distinctly Valentino take with a smoother, less brash attitude than louder blue styles. Expect a plush, lingering trail that shines in cooler weather and air conditioned spaces.
Bottle & Design
The Born in Roma Intense bottle dresses Valentino’s studded Rockstud silhouette in a deep, inky look. Faceted glass pyramids catch the light, a black cap tops the weighty bottle, and the Valentino plaque sits proudly at the front. It feels luxurious in hand, sprays in a fine mist, and looks striking on a dresser, echoing the brand’s couture edge and Roman architecture cues.
