Born in Roma Extradose Uomo Parfum Pour Lui
Born in Roma Uomo Extradose: the Roman night at full power. Valentino crosses a new frontier with Born in Roma Uomo Extradose, a maximal concentrate of woody boldness. From the opening, a blend of burning spices — fresh ginger, vibrant pepper — mingles with a radiant bergamot-mandarin duo. At the heart, a heart lavandin textured by a saline touch ignites the composition before plunging into an overdose of dark, charcoal-like vetiver, heightened by an enveloping guaiac wood sillage. The result: a fiery amber fougère, as hypnotic as the neon lights of Via Condotti after midnight.

The creating nose
The extrait is composed by Guillaume Flavigny. The perfumer first sculpted a spice-citrus framework, then overdosed the vetiver facet to project the Valentino masculine signature into a darker, more magnetic dimension.
Studs under the Roman night
Iconic design
The rock-style bottle retains the studded silhouette of the collection, now lacquered in graphite black. The pyramidal studs catch the light, evoking the wet paving stones of the city after a summer downpour. The spray collar is stitched with a metallic V, a nod to the couture house.

• Screw-on 150 ml refill, a simple gesture, zero funnel.
• FSC carton without cellophane, vegetable-based inks.
Rome after midnight: the extra dose of adrenaline
Creative concept
The Born in Roma line tells the story of an urban couple's freedom. In this masculine version, the night becomes a playground: scooters weaving between antiquities, impromptu concerts on the steps of a church, amber cocktails on rooftops. Extradose captures this moment of electricity, when the heart beats faster than the bells.
Visual campaign
A marble corridor lit in neon pink: the model crosses it, leather jacket over the shoulders. Each step triggers a flash of light reflected by the studs of the bottle, like a private stroboscope. Slogan: “Dare to be Extra-ordinary”.

Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from Born in Roma Intense?
The 2023 Intense paired vanilla with smoky wood. Extradose swaps the vanilla for an overdose of vetiver and a cocktail of spices, creating a drier, more refined signature.
For which seasons?
Ideal for fall-winter and mid-season evenings. In peak summer, a single spray is enough for a nighttime terrace.
Unisex or masculine?
Designed for men, but its spicy-woody freshness appeals to vetiver lovers regardless of gender.
