This Fragrance Smells Like…
Crafted by expert perfumers, Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavingy, have seamlessly mixed elegance with fresh coolness to cultivate a scent that is equal parts intoxicating and inviting. Opening with a soft lavender casing, Born in Roma is undercut by citron and ginger essence, offering a crisp, natural base.
A healthy dose of robust, earthy flavours follow, where a heart of sage and smoked vetiver steal the show. Personally, the woody, aromatic scents transported me to a barbershop and reminded me of aftershave or mown grass. But, as with the power of modernity, you decide…
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
The focus here is you. Your past, present and future. Your desires and heartbreaks. Created to hold the tension between old and new, this fragrance balances the traditions of Rome whilst showcasing modern pleasures. Headed by Adut Akech and Anwar Hadid, Born in Roma embodies the cool aloofness of embracing diversity and difference. Donning a leather jacket and chunky hoops, the pair embrace Valentino’s ‘aristo punk’ philosophy, a rebellious underbelly born in Rome. Engaging in direct dialogue with the city, Born in Roma reflects the juxtaposition between modernity and tradition. The scent encapsulates the couture statement of the luxury brand, staying true to its signature roots, whilst adding a deeper layer of gothic revival. This fragrance is for those who reflect on the past, and then create their own rules.

What’s Special About The Bottle?
Just about everything… Blacked out and romantic, this bottle features a modern gothic look. Vampiric studs give way to a dignified and handsome packaging. With ornate glass detailing, the bottle boasts a glimpse of the coral liquid inside, The pink contrasted with the black is exactly .. punk – toeing the line between masculine and feminine, and then doing away with gender roles altogether. All topped off with a studded choker, polished and bold, perfectly encapsulating the blend of heritage and heart strong. This perfume made me feel cool, calm and collected.p>
