Valentino Born in Roma Extradose Uomo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Born in Roma Extradose Uomo opens with Spicy Notes, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes. Valentino's Born in Roma Extradose Uomo carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a divisive but popular take on the Born in Roma line. It's either an absolute beast-mode compliment magnet that outshines its siblings, or a 'generic mess' that's sickeningly sweet and disappointingly synthetic. Sample before you buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for office wear, where it might be overwhelming. However, these same characteristics, combined with its alluring spicy-woody and lavender accords, make it a perfect choice for dates and evenings out. While versatile, it pulls too much attention for casual or sport settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Born in Roma Extradose Uomo charges out the gate with an energetic, fiery burst of spicy notes, immediately setting a bold tone. This quickly mellows, giving way to an intense, wild lavender heart that dominates the composition. As it settles, a warm, aromatic woodiness emerges, underpinned by a fresh spice. The result is a layered but potent fragrance, that walks a tightrope between an initial fresh, spicy floral and a later warmer, woody character.
