  Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Ivory is a total surprise. If you were expecting the usual DNA of the line, you’re taken to another dimension: pure niche. The bottle is impressive, almost sculptural, and the inner ivory liquid matches perfectly. Instantly, I thought of the Dominican drink ‘morir soñando’: orange, sugar, evaporated milk and ice, an addictive delicacy. Ivory plays with an otherworldly acid-milk-sweet trio, with that vibe of creamy yoghurts and orange popsicles. The best part is that it’s unisex: on me it’s warm and cosy, but on someone else it could be more intense, like a summer cocktail. My colleagues were blown away; they even searched for it on Google straight away and discovered it wasn’t in stores, proving its immediate appeal. Regarding the ‘fire’ note: it’s not a fireplace or bonfire, but a subtle smoky touch that prevents the citrus and milky accord from becoming heavy. It’s balanced, safe yet interesting. Buy blind without fear. Performance is excellent, with a powerful yet gentle atomiser and a lovely cloud. To be honest, the cap doesn’t close well and there’s a slight alcoholic kick on opening that soon softens with its creamy magic. Another success from Valentino. For me, it’s not just a fragrance; it’s a little bottle of ‘morir soñando’: sweet, creamy, refreshing and unforgettable.

  Valentino always gives me the feeling of ‘want but can’t’: they try to compete with luxury houses but fall halfway. In the Born in Roma line, the only redeemable one is Coral Fantasy (before its reformulation). This new Ivory generates anticipation. From the bottle to the notes, I think I’ll try it the same day. Smoky perfumes are my favourites and I trust it will go in that line, not to a ‘burnt sugar’ style like BTF. I just hope it’s not another disappointment from the saga. PS: Regrettably, again people who vote on longevity and characteristics without having smelled it even once.

  The Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Ivory is a fragrance that surprises you unexpectedly. If you know the line, you expect the usual DNA, but here it’s like entering another dimension: NICHOS. The bottle is impressive, almost sculptural, and the ivory liquid combines perfectly. Instantly I thought of a Dominican drink: ‘morir soñando’, orange, sugar, evaporated milk, and ice, delicious and addictive. Ivory plays with an otherworldly acid-milk-sweet triad, with that vibe of creamy yoghurts and orange popsicles. I love its unisex feel: on me it’s warm and cosy, but on another person it could be more intense, almost a summer cocktail. Some colleagues smelled it and were stunned, even searching for it on Google before knowing it wasn’t available. That shows how captivating it is. Regarding the ‘fire’ note: don’t imagine a fireplace, it’s a subtle smoky touch that prevents the citrus and dairy from being cloying. It’s balanced, safe but interesting. A safe option to buy blind. Excellent longevity, powerful yet gentle atomiser, leaves a lovely trail. To be honest: the cap doesn’t close well and there’s a slight alcohol touch on opening that softens with its creamy magic. Another success from Valentino. For me, it’s a small bottle of ‘morir soñando’: sweet, creamy, refreshing and unforgettable.

  A men’s fragrance with a delicious vanilla opening; soon tobacco and smoky woods become noticeable. It’s truly beautiful and interesting, smelling of burnt wood and is very addictive. I recommend it, perhaps not blindly, but highly. I like it more than the feminine version.

  The bottle is lovely, but I have a problem: it’s the first time I’ve smelled something totally different from what the notes say. The perfume is super creamy, smells like milk, vanilla, sugar, and even toasted coconut—things not declared but very noticeable. I like the scent, and although it’s an eau de toilette, it has good longevity and projection. Does anyone know if my nose is failing? I struggle to identify the bergamot and lavender they claim it has.

  I’m torn about this perfume: the opening is spectacular, something creamy and sweet, like a glass of hot milk with brown sugar, which justifies the white bottle. But the dry-down on my skin disappointed me; I detect plastic nuances, perhaps due to the smoke/fire note, and it causes instant rejection. For Latin Americans, there are Colombian pacifiers that smell almost the same (search ‘tipitina colombina leche’). Based on the notes, it seems dense and heavy, in the style of By The Fireplace – Margela, but it isn’t; it leans more towards sweet. PS: The more perfumes you smell, the more demanding you become. For me, it’s a NO. It’s not a bad perfume, simply not to my taste.

  This perfume steps outside the Born in Roma line and the listed notes don’t match at all. Listing ‘fire’ as a note is controversial. It smells entirely milky: hot milk sweetened with brown sugar. It has that gourmand and creamy sensation. I don’t detect the smoky note; they would have been wiser to list milk, cream, or caramel instead of smoke. It’s a rich fragrance and not cloying. Although I expected something else, it is good.

  This Born in Roma is an enigma that constantly changes shape: it starts with a citrus touch that lasts only a couple of seconds, then a milky note appears, but it’s not drinking milk, more like the scent of a conditioner with coconut milk. After half an hour, that coconut disappears, leaving a cleaner milky side, like Dove cream soap. Finally, it settles into something very soft wood with that creamy note that lasts all the time. I liked it, although the initial coconut milky part caught me out a bit; I think it lasts about 40 minutes before moving to that clean milky phase that I absolutely love.

  This Born in Roma is difficult to describe because it changes constantly. It starts citrusy but quickly shifts to something milky that isn’t drinking milk, but rather resembles coconut milk conditioner. After half an hour, that coconut disappears, leaving a clean lactonic scent, like creamy Dove soap, which then turns into very subtle wood while maintaining that constant creaminess. I liked it, although that coconut part bothers me a bit and I think it lasts about 40 minutes before changing. The rest of the scent, however, I absolutely loved.

  This Valentino and the Purple Melancholia seem to have split into two distinct scents when compared to the Lattafa Asad Zanzibar; the quality of the Valentino is simply another level. The Lattafa smells nice but has weak projection, and up close you can tell the notes are cheap. I’m sticking with the Purple Melancholia, although this one hasn’t disgusted me either.

  The Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Ivory is sweet, aromatic, and vanilla-rich. The opening is intense, like marshmallow or coconut candy, with a milky touch that lasts over an hour. Then the sweetness gives way to a cleaner, soapy, creamy scent thanks to the lavender. From there, the fragrance remains stable. It’s ideal for autumn and winter, both day and night, though I imagine it suits cooler climates better. In this test, I didn’t wear it in a specific setting; it seems more suited to a night out. The longevity was excellent, around 10 hours with a strong trail at the start. I’m polarised: the opening is too sweet for me, but the dry-down is a favourite. The ivory-coloured bottle is gorgeous. Give it a try and let me know.
