Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive freshie. Some will call it boring, others reckon it's a wonderfully versatile and underrated scent. If you want a subtle, clean everyday juice that won't offend a soul, then dive in.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and understated character, combined with limited projection and longevity, makes it ideal for the gym or casual daytime wear where you don't want to overwhelm. It's too subtle for a formal event or a date but perfectly acceptable for the office due to its non-offensive nature.
Seasons
The violet-leaf-mineral-salt-vetiver structure sits firmly in warm seasons - the verdant opening lifts in spring, the cool accord holds in summer; cooler months at higher dosage work.
Occasions
Office and weekend-casual the natural homes - the modern aromatic-cool character reads professional and approachable; date and casual-evening at higher dosage work too.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Fresh, Woody accords and Lavender, Vetiver notes
