Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream, a new release full of color. The Valentino house was born in Rome in 1960. Very proud of its Italian origins, it does not hesitate to evoke them through its various collections, in both its couture business and its perfumery. Thus, Valentino Uomo from 2014 was already inspired by Roman beauty.
Valentino Uomo appeared in 2014. It presented the portrait of a slender, willowy man endowed with a natural nobility, from which nevertheless emerged a slightly untamable character and a subtle nonchalance. Then, on several occasions, its distinctive breath was reinvented, becoming in turn Valentino Uomo Intense, Valentino Uomo Acqua and Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu. In tribute to the house's Italian origins, another edition appeared in 2019: Valentino Uomo Born In Roma. It was a fresh and powerful juice, particularly woody and aromatic, showcasing the house's iconic ingredient: vetiver. Today, another chapter in Valentino's story is being written. Its men's fragrance is called Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream. Here is our review of it.

The timeless spirit of Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream
Geographically speaking, there is no doubt, Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream clearly immerses one in the heart of Italy. Moreover, this is evident from the moment its name appears. It echoes the Roman origins of Valentino Beauty. On the other hand, when it comes to era, the nuance is more subtle. No one could truly assign an age to this fragrance, so well does it suit all generations. On one hand, Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream seems to carry within it a rich past heritage. It is the fruit of immense craftsmanship and draws its source from a city where culture reigns supreme. Yet, it is also very forward-looking, depicting the portrait of a visionary man who likes to create his own voice and set his own rules. In a more urban spirit, it also speaks to the younger generation.
The new gourmand breath of Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream
Unlike its predecessor, Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream entirely abandons the power of vetiver in favor of a more spicy, gourmand and oriental scent. Like most fragrances, Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream unfolds in three successive notes. First, it reveals itself as very lively. In this sense, it echoes the effervescence of youth. It releases tangy notes of pineapple paired with a juicier, tangier mandarin. Its heart, meanwhile, relies more on the sensual power of cedarwood combined with an exotic vanilla. Finally, it is in its base that its full gourmand character emerges. More specifically, this takes the form of a gingerbread flavor… addiction guaranteed!
The architectural bottle of Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream
Finally, beyond its scent alone, it must be acknowledged that Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream has a truly beautiful bottle. It is entirely timeless. It draws inspiration from classic Roman architecture and is entirely covered in small glass prisms. These play with light and create countless reflections within a pale yellow, sun-kissed juice. For a more rock, modern result, an opaque black appears on its cap, while a leather-effect finish reinforces the rock 'n' roll side of its label. Valentino's name, meanwhile, is written in an unexpected yet no less appealing fluorescent yellow.
