Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Oud Carbon Edition Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some say it's an elevated Cool Water, a 'beast mode freshie' for those who value longevity. Others find it synthetic, headache-inducing, and even reminiscent of BO or air fresheners. You probably won't be indifferent.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Born In Roma Man Eau de Parfum
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.
