Fresh Creamy Delicious
It quite funny that this gets an average of 7.5 and the majority of the reviewers hate on it. There are many colognes out there that have simple notes but smell more complex. I really don’t get the bubblegum thing either. For me this smelled similar to Most wanted by Azzaro but a little more Smokey and creamy. This is a great performer and pulls complements. Presentation is very interesting and the atomizer has nice distribution. I see this as a more masculine scent due to the smokiness. I would suggest try b4 you buy, but if you like a Most Wanted type DNA, go for it, this is a little darker and less sharp, and you will like the Smokey sweetness in the dry down.

Synthetic Mess
I dont go out of my way to write negative reviews very often, but wow, this really rubbed me the wrong way. It just comes off as a low quality, overly synthetic, chemical mess. I get this is supposed to be an easy going, perhaps unserious every day sort of fragrance but if you're looking for something like that there are plenty of other fragrances that are simply better that potentially cost LESS. Pass for me

My signature scent
This fragrance smells to me like expensive bubblegum soap and it is perfect for date nights. Plus, the fresh DNA from the original born in roma makes it quite versatile but not all year round. I love this fragrance and if you want to smell like me, then just wear this and you will be smelling like the man who wrote this that is sexy as hell. Anyways, God bless y’all.

A familiar buddy but grown up a little!
You know the feeling to encountering a cousin after few years and he's all grown up? I kinda get that feeling from this new Intense version of BIR. This is like smatching original BIR and Armani's Stronger With You together! It's really goooood! It lingers greatly in the air but doesn't scream or get cloying which is great! It's like OG BIR has grown up a little and at his mid 20s It lasts quite well, I got solid 7-8h each wear!

So good!
This fragrance is one of the best in the Valentino uomo line. The only thing that could be better than this is Valentino uomo yellow dream. This fragrance is vanilla heavy with lavender in the opening. I find myself reaching for it 3 days a week. The vetiver in the base just elevates it to a whole new level.
Overall 8.5 out of 10

I’ve worn this three times now and I still can’t remember what it smells like after it wears off. Pleasant but utterly forgettable.

A balanced aroma compared to the overly sugary Born in Roma scents. It works in most social scenarios, but won't impress versed fragheads.

Simple and very enjoyable designer sweet-woody accord. Dumb-reach versatility and lasts 8hrs. It’s cozy and comfortable.

It is still bubblegumy, it is still extremely sweet and still boring. There is a place for this scents but paco did it better...10 years ago

Better than the original for sure, but still such a cloying, synthetic smell.

Delicious vanilla with a soft, pleasant lavender. Mass appealing and a compliment grabber. Overall a lovely, sexy scent.

"Born in Roma" with an added touch of class. Powdery, longer lasting, and less synthetic. A perfect (sexy) office fragrance.

I don't know if my nose is broken because this smells VERY similar to Halloween Man (not Man X), albeit less synthetic.

Very sweet and cloying at first. I enjoy it more after an hour or so when the woods come out a bit. Lasts long.
