The original Valentino Uomo: cedar and vetiver essences softened by a vanilla accord and iris, in the studded bottle that set the look for everything the house has released since.
Highlights
✓Cedar and vetiver essences carry the structure — this is a woody fragrance before it is anything else, which is the clearest point of difference from the fresher Born in Roma range.
✓A vanilla accord and iris warm it from underneath, so the woods land soft and smoky rather than austere.
✓Eau de Toilette concentration — the lighter of the standard strengths, and the reason this sits at the accessible end of the Valentino range.
✓The bottle carries the Valentino stud — the Roman-architecture detail used across Valentino Couture — so it reads as the house's, not as a generic flacon.
✓100 ml spray bottle.
Valentino's men's fragrances split into two clear directions at 360STORE, and the choice between them is mostly about temperature. Valentino Uomo is the warm one — cedar, vetiver, vanilla, iris. The Born in Roma Uomo range that followed runs cooler and sharper: mineral salt and ginger in the standard Eau de Toilette, a coffee accord over Haitian vetiver in Green Stravaganza, cardamom and a tobacco accord in Coral Fantasy. If you have tried the Born in Roma bottles and wanted something smokier underneath, start here instead.
100 ml Eau de Toilette spray for men. Fragrance notes as supplied: cedar and vetiver essences, vanilla accord, iris. Store away from direct sunlight and heat. Not published for this bottle: a batch code or the year it was filled, whether it ships sealed in its retail box or as a tester, and which of the four notes sit at the top, heart and base — the supplier gives them as a list. Ask us and we will confirm before you order.
