Valentino Born in Roma Uomo Intense

Valentino Born in Roma Uomo Intense is a modern tribute to timeless Roman elegance, infused with rebellious energy and sensual depth. This fragrance reimagines classic masculinity through a bold and seductive lens — a scent for those who live passionately, love intensely, and are unafraid to express their individuality.

Crafted by perfumers Antoine Maisondieu, Guillaume Flavigny, and Yann Vasnier, Born in Roma Intense opens with an electrifying spark of vanilla and lavender, creating an immediate contrast between warmth and aromatic freshness. The vanilla is rich and creamy — not overly sweet, but dense and luxurious, like the golden glow of city lights reflected in ancient Roman architecture. It wraps the senses in a comforting warmth that feels both opulent and intimate.

The lavender adds a counterbalance of herbaceous clarity — clean, aromatic, and timeless. But here, it’s given a modern twist, polished into something sleek and slightly edgy. It evokes the crispness of a freshly tailored suit or the cool breeze of a Roman night — sophisticated, yet still vibrant.

As the fragrance unfolds, vetiver comes forward in the heart, providing a smoky, woody dimension that grounds the scent. The vetiver is earthy and dry, introducing a sense of rugged refinement that complements the smoother notes. It gives the fragrance a bold masculine presence — powerful, yet composed — like walking the cobblestone streets of Rome with quiet confidence.

In the base, the vanilla becomes more dominant, fused with soft resins and amberwood, creating a sensual and lasting dry-down. This final phase is where the fragrance truly earns its "Intense" identity: warm, seductive, and enveloping, leaving behind a deep, memorable trail that lingers well into the night. It's intimate without being overpowering — a second skin of sensuality.

Born in Roma Intense is designed for the modern man who respects tradition but lives by his own rules. It’s elegant but not conventional, luxurious but never loud — the perfect scent for evenings out, romantic moments, or simply making a statement with presence alone.

Encased in Valentino’s signature studded glass bottle — now tinted in deep, moody tones that reflect its intensity — this fragrance is a piece of wearable couture. Every detail speaks of refinement, rebellion, and unapologetic style.
