A Sweet Boy 2020
If Valentino is good at one thing, it's great marketing, a fantastic bottle design .... and what they do even better is copying from other brands and stealing the best from them.
The first Uomo is strikingly similar to Dior Homme. It was also the same perfumer, but Valentino Uomo Intense was quite similar to Dior Intense. However, it's sweeter, more modern, and has leather, and many even say it has better performance. Valentino Acqua strongly reminded me of a watery Prada L'Homme.
Born in Roma is very inspired by the Invictus DNA in the opening. With a bit of ginger like in YSL L'Homme or YSL Y, with which this fragrance is probably most compared. This may apply to the opening, but I suspect many have never smelled the fragrance in the drydown.
I like to wear sweet fragrances.
The sweet opening lasts a good 30 minutes
then the Invictus DNA dissolves into a vetiver and ginger, a modern twist on vetiver. Quite interesting, and overlooked in this fragrance.
A grassy violet, and then it suddenly becomes quieter, and I don't mean nose-blind or skin scent or anything like that, no. It's really gone.
It lasts a comfortable 4 hours, which is not particularly good due to the DNA and notes, or rather below average,
Top note seductive, sweet, puts you in a good mood
Easy to like, but even though I love the bottle and the great advertising, it just doesn't work.
All the bashing on sweet fragrances and deforming all the youth with accusations of lacking masculinity or being tasteless teens... all because of pink writing or whatever, I just find it embarrassing in 2020, as some thought patterns really shine through in these statements... not my thing at all.
It's a modern fragrance that is a lot of fun.
Great in spring and maybe the first love? Maybe for someone in 15 years like a Le Male or Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce?

Unfortunately, the longevity is below average, which does not fit the house of Valentino, that should be noted. On clothing, it probably lasts better, but on the skin, it just doesn't.
Have fun testing, and waiting for the drydown is really good, ginger and vetiver, but I found it very short-lived.

Good comment, but the scent is disgusting! Just my opinion :-)

I also like sweet scents, among others. And I was already "masculine" back when the word bashing didn't even exist :-) I completely agree with you, such thoughts and statements are outdated! Everyone should wear the fragrance they like!
