Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Born In Roma Uomo Intense EDP
A striking, sweetly intense vanilla-woody powerhouse that projects masculinity with modern flair. Not for the faint of heart, this is a night-out statement scent that dominates cold air with warmth and presence.
Statement
Our Verdict - Roma Intense For Men EDP
A budget take on Valentino's Born In Roma Intense. Roma Intense captures that magnetic sweet-vanilla-and-soapy-lavender signature grounded by smoked vetiver - the compliment-getting amber-vanilla that won big. The budget version reads a shade sweeter and flatter, the smoky-woody depth not quite as refined, but the addictive character is there.
