  Valentino always gives me that ‘want but can’t have’ feeling: they try to compete with luxury houses but end up halfway there. In the Born in Roma line, the only redeemable one is Coral Fantasy (before its reformulation). This new Ivory generates hype. From the bottle to the notes, I think I’d try it on the same day. Smoky perfumes are my favorites, and I trust it will go that route, not to a ‘burnt sugar’ style like BTF. I just hope it’s not another disappointment in the saga. PD: Pity, again people voting on longevity and characteristics without even smelling it once.

  Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Ivory is a total surprise. If you were expecting the usual DNA of the line, you’re stepping into another dimension: pure niche. The bottle is stunning, almost sculptural, and the ivory liquid inside matches perfectly. Instantly, I thought of the Dominican drink ‘morir soñando’: orange, sugar, evaporated milk, and ice—an addictive delicacy. Ivory plays with an acid-milk-sweet trio that’s out of this world, with vibes of creamy yogurts and orange popsicles. The best part is that it’s unisex: on me, it’s warm and cozy, but on someone else, it could be more intense, like a summer cocktail. My coworkers were blown away; they even Googled it immediately and found out it wasn’t in stores, proving its instant appeal. Regarding the ‘fire’ note: it’s not a fireplace or bonfire, but a subtle smoky touch that keeps the citrus and milky accord from feeling heavy. It’s balanced, safe, yet interesting. Buy blind without fear. Performance is excellent, with a powerful yet gentle spray and a beautiful cloud. To be honest, the cap doesn’t close well, and there’s a slight alcohol hit upon 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 Uomo Born in Roma Ivory is a fragrance that surprises you in an unexpected way. If you know the line, you expect the usual DNA, but here it’s like entering another dimension: NICHES. The bottle is impressive, almost sculptural, and the ivory liquid matches perfectly. Instantly, I thought of a Dominican drink: ‘morir soñando’ (dreaming of death), orange, sugar, evaporated milk, and ice, delicious and addictive. Ivory plays with an acid-milk-sweet triad from another world, with that vibe of creamy yogurts and orange popsicles. I love its unisex feel: on me, it’s warm and cozy, but on someone else, it could be more intense, almost like a summer cocktail. Some colleagues smelled it and were stunned, even searching for it on Google before knowing it was unavailable. 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 milky notes from being cloying. It’s balanced, safe, yet interesting. A safe option to buy blind. Excellent performance, powerful yet soft atomizer, leaves a beautiful trail. To be honest: the cap doesn’t close well, and there’s a slight alcohol hit when opening that softens with its creamy magic. Another success for Valentino. For me, it’s a small bottle of ‘morir soñando’: sweet, creamy, refreshing, and unforgettable.

  The bottle is pretty, 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 performance. Does anyone tell me if my nose is failing? I’m having trouble identifying 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 find plastic nuances, perhaps due to the smoke/fire note, and it gives me instant rejection. For Latinos, there are Colombian pacifiers that smell almost the same (search ‘tipitina colombina leche’). Based on the notes, it seems dense and heavy, like By The Fireplace – Margela, but it’s not; it leans more toward sweet. PD: 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.

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

  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 totally milky: hot milk sweetened with brown sugar. It has that gourmand and creamy sensation. I don’t smell the smoky note; they would have been wiser to list milk, cream, or caramel instead of smoke. It’s a rich perfume and not cloying. Although I expected something else, it’s good.

  Smells like milk. 2.5/10.

  This Born in Roma is hard to describe because it keeps changing. It starts citrusy but quickly shifts to something milky—not drinking milk, but more like coconut milk conditioner. After half an hour, that coconut disappears, leaving a clean lactonic scent, like creamy Dove soap, which then turns into very light wood but with that constant creaminess. I liked it, although that coconut part bothered me a bit and I think it lasts about 40 minutes before changing. The rest I absolutely loved.

  This Born in Roma is an enigma that constantly shifts shape: it starts with a citrus touch lasting just a couple of seconds, then a milky note kicks in, but it’s not drinking milk—it’s more like the scent of a conditioner with coconut milk. After half an hour, that coconut fades, leaving a cleaner milky side, like Dove cream soap. Finally, it settles into a very soft wood note with that creamy longevity that lasts all day. I liked it, although the initial coconut-milky part caught me off guard; I think it lasts about 40 minutes before transitioning to the clean milky phase that I absolutely love.

  Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Ivory is sweet, aromatic, and vanilla-forward. The opening is intense, like marshmallow or coconut candy, with a milky touch that lasts over an hour. Then the sweetness fades, leaving a cleaner, soapy, and creamy scent thanks to the lavender. From there, the smell stays stable. It’s ideal for fall and winter, both day and night, though I imagine it fits cooler weather better. In this test, I didn’t wear it in a specific setting; it seems more suited for a night out. The longevity was excellent, around 10 hours with strong sillage at first. It polarizes me: the opening is too sweet for me, but the dry-down is amazing. The ivory bottle is gorgeous. Give it a try and let me know.

  This Valentino and Purple Melancholia seem to have split into two different scents when compared to Lattafa Asad Zanzibar, and the quality of this Valentino is on another level. The Lattafa smells good, but the projection is weak, and up close, you can tell the notes are cheap. I’m sticking with Purple Melancholia, though this one didn’t disgust me either.
