Which Should You Buy?
A contemporary woody fragrance with a hint of spice, Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is suited for those who enjoy a confident and bold olfactory profile.
Valentino Born In Roma Uomo is the modern designer-masculine that pairs a verdant violet-leaf opening with a mineral-salt heart for an architectural cool-aromatic profile. EV's No. 988 reads aromatic-and-cool cleanly; the mineral-salt accord that gives the original its signature is hardest to copy.
