Born In Roma Uomo Rendez-Vous Ivory
Presentation Valentino Born In Roma Uomo Rendez-Vous Ivory marks a nocturnal encounter between crisp freshness and vibrant warmth: an Eau de Toilette where the zesty brightness of bergamot crosses the aromatic edge of lavandin, then ignites into a smoky woody breath, in the style of a fireplace. Conceived as an ephemeral variation on the Born In Roma saga, this 2025 limited edition stages a modern woody accord — clean, incisive, textured — designed to move from daylight to nighttime neon without losing its elegance. In the air, the sparkling opening catches immediately; very quickly, the aromatic heart pulses like a steady beat; finally, the base subtly smokes the skin, a warm veil that never saturates the space but leaves a confident imprint.

Concept
Rendez-Vous Ivory summons the imagery of the electric nights of the 1970s — the party, the boldness, the freedom — translated into bright, tactile olfactory codes: a spark of citrus, an aromatic backbone, then a smoky halo that calls for movement. The message is clear: celebrate individuality with a clean, contemporary sillage that blends Italian couture with iconic club energy. The launch forms a diptych with the feminine version Donna Rendez-Vous Ivory, a duo conceived as two perspectives on the same reimagined Roman night.
Quick pyramid
Top notes
Bergamot, bright and sparkling, for an opening that snaps like a studio flash and instantly puts the fragrance into tension.
Heart notes
Lavandin, a clean and nervy aromatic architecture; its green arch carries the fragrance toward more masculine-couture territory, precise and textured.
Base notes
A fireplace and smoky woods accord: a dry, faintly charred warmth that gives depth without sugary heaviness.
Perfumer — the nose's work
The house has not yet disclosed the identity of the nose or noses who composed Rendez-Vous Ivory; however, one can read a very Valentino brief: clean lines, chiaroscuro contrast, and that twist of material which turns a woody accord into a true style accessory. The choice of lavandin, more assertive than a fine lavender, reinforces the aromatic axis and speaks to a generation seeking textured cleanliness rather than a retro cologne; bergamot serves as a spotlight, and the smoky accord sculpts relief, much like a tailored pleat.
Target
Designed first for the Valentino man, this aromatic woody fragrance in reality speaks to anyone wanting a precise, urban sillage, free of sweetness or excess: an ideal wardrobe piece from office to rooftop, from an ivory polo to a quilted black blazer. Its signature reads in three stages: crisp freshness, aromatic nerve, controlled warmth. Longevity and sillage sit in a moderate, comfortable zone, designed to accompany without overwhelming. For those who enjoy layering, the share of embers can be increased with a dry vetiver, or the whole can be brightened with a bitter citrus; the smoky accord then takes on an almost mineral elegance.
