Scent Profile
| Top Notes | Vanilla, Bourbon Vanilla |
|---|---|
| Middle Notes | Lavender |
| Base Notes | Vetiver |
Character: Warm, Sweet, Powdery, Slightly Boozy, Modern Masculine
It opens with a bold sweet vanilla punch, followed by a creamy lavender heart that gives it a smooth, almost powdery texture. The vetiver in the base keeps it from becoming too youthful or cloying, grounding it with a bit of dry woodiness.

Born in Roma Intense earns its name — this stuff lasts. It’s bold without being suffocating.

Seasonality (When to Wear It)
Fall & Winter — This fragrance shines in the cold. The warmth and sweetness really bloom in lower temperatures. Avoid high heat unless you want to gas out the room.
Compliment Factor
High.
Expect people to lean in. It has that seductive designer DNA that’s mass-appealing but still feels a bit elevated thanks to the lavender and vetiver combo. Women especially respond well to it.
Who Should Wear It

- Great for those who like sweet, sexy, and slightly edgy fragrances
- Fans of fragrances like Armani Code Profumo, 1 Million Parfum, or Dior Sauvage Elixir might appreciate this
Which Version Should You Buy?
- Intense over the original Born in Roma Uomo if you want better performance, more depth, and a bolder scent signature.
- But skip if you’re not a fan of sweet vanilla-forward scents.
Price & Value

Recommendation: Buy if you want a seductive, mass-appealing designer scent that performs.
It’s bold, sexy, and very modern — a designer club killer that doesn’t smell cheap.
