Valentino Uomo Born in Roma isn't a bad scent, people just hated on it because it wasn't more of what the original Uomo was. Every normal, non frag head I've had smell it absolutely love it. Is it my absolute favorite? No, but if I judge it on its own merits, it's definitely not bad.

anyone know why my bottle doesn’t really project very well? even if I spray 6 times people sitting right next to me say they can’t smell it. It makes me very sad because I realllyyy love this fragrance.

[@philjones6054]

Other than it's a fake bottle, I have no answer. Mine lasts about four hours or so, with reasonable projection. My advice.......... take a shower, then apply fragrance free moisturizer to the areas you normally spray. Then, ten minutes later, go berserk with the sprays (ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty sprays). If your friends are sitting close by, and they still can't smell you after that, it's fake and give up on it.

[@Beignetboy]

Weird..I had about 2-3 of projection with only 3 sprays for the first hour of use

[@thomasblock1164]

Hey Acid. How is it now? I have had several fragrances that had nothing going for them when first opened but after several weeks and I tried them again it seemed that the opening and projection strengthened radically. Dillon blue being the best example of this phenomenon. I wonder if the straw is filled with alcohol? Have no other explanation.

[@sialee5926]

What do you mean by powdery, & is the smell long lasting?

[@markpeters7772]

I really like this fragrance bought at Dillard’s $128.00 Kind of reminds me a little of The Most Wanted by Night, not the same but similar. You could wear this in the summer in climate controlled, or a cooler evening. My wife thinks it’s more spicy than sweet but I really pick up on the sweetness but as you said not overly sweet. It’s safe too, you don’t fill a room but you do leave a trail. Radiates an arms length for a few hours, but last all day! Love your channel and your reviews.

I think i'm going to add this Born in Roma Intense to my collection. But, Ash, i'd like you to compare this one to Boss the Scent Magnetic, and tell us which one you think is better.

[@rinjihalfelf1]

Was looking for something that had an amber note because I had been using Nemaat Amber perfume spray. Everyone always latches on to the first powder smell of a light amber. It is nice but there's some warm note I like that stays behind on your clothes days after it's been sprayed. That was what I was looking for in my next perfume. All the women's had too many sweet notes or high notes. I already have perfume like that. They tried to get me on the Chanel wagon, but my body chemistry makes it smell like gasoline. I was running out of options in the women's lines the perfume counter had in stock so I told them I had no problem delving into men's and found this. I think what surprises me the most about this scent is it has Vanilla and Lavender notes. These are two scents I hated in the past. Bad lavender gives me headaches. Vanilla marketed for women is usually too sweet. I don't want to spend $100+ to smell like a cupcake if Bath and Bodyworks can do that for $10. This a great scent. I think I'll explore the Donna version next if it ever gets back in stock. Similar notes but there's jasmine in it. As much as I love my Tocca Florence, I think I'm ready to move on.
