Discover Born in Roma Intense, the scent of those who express themselves with intensity.
Born in Roma Intense Donna
To express the energy of this warm Roman night, Master perfumers Amandine Marie and Honorine Blanc rewrite the traditional olfactory rules of intensity. The vanilla takes on new amplifying powers, as the perfumers have chosen new qualities for this intensity, exaggerated in its most ambery and solar facets. Vanilla is amplified with an evocative trio of Jasmine that reveals a very luminous, creamy and modern florality with a powerful trail. Combined with a base note of Benzoin Resin, the result is a magnetic, floral amber – a meeting between resinous depth and floral embrace. Capturing the enveloping hold of limitless Vanilla and Jasmine Grandiflorum, Born in Roma Intense Donna moves into the night with a new intensity.
Top notes: Vanilla Bourbon
Heart notes: Trio of Jasmine
Base notes: Benzoin Resin
Born in Roma Intense Uomo
The contrast between freshness and a darker sensuality creates a fragrance of instinct and rebellious elegance. To create the hypnotic fragrance, Master perfumers Guillaume Flavigny and Antoine Maisondieu roots Uomo’s intensity in a deep smoked Vetiver sourced from Haiti, considered as the most refined and balanced vetiver quality available. This powerful base is rendered even more seductive and refined with Lavandin and Vanilla pushed to the extremes.

Intensity by design, the Rockstud bottle
Each fragrance is protected in the armorlike architecture of the iconic Valentino Rockstud. Part of Maison Valentino’s iconography, the Rockstud – a singular design element inspired by this architectural feature studding the city’s walls, is a symbol of underlying strength. The perfect embodiment of the intensity of Valentino Beauty’s new olfactory story.
