Born in Roma Purple Uomo - Eau de Toilette

Very impressed with this

I loved trying this fragrance it is so nice I got a lot of compliments and I got stopped in the street and asked what I was wearing. It also lasts all day too but I think it’s a summer fragrance mainly.

Smooth and Pleasant Fragrance

Smooth and easy to wear. The scent is pleasant without being overpowering, making it great for daily use. Despite its lighter feel, it lasts surprisingly well through the day. Subtle, clean and consistently enjoyable.

Perfect for evenings

Purple Melancholic from Valentino is a quietly confident twist on the Born in Roma DNA. It opens with a smooth, subtly sweet freshness on application before settling into a refined blend of aromatic lavender, soft woods, and creamy vanilla. The vibe is modern yet introspective—perfect for evenings, date nights, or reflective moments. Projection is moderate, staying close and elegant, while longevity easily carries through several hours. What stands out most is its balance: comforting without being heavy, stylish without trying too hard. If you enjoy understated, moody fragrances with a contemporary edge, Purple Melancholic is a compelling addition to any collection.

Divine but pricey

Great versatile perfume even though I would say its more suited for the winter weathers. I won't say it lasted longer than about 12 hours so the longevity was ok, nonetheless the scent is divine. Has a woody base with mineral top notes. Has quite a high price tag to it and for what it is, I'm not sure it's justified.

Complex and sweet, very good!

Valentino born in Rome is a vibrant modern fragrance, that blends elegance with street style edge. Opens with black currant and pink pepper with hints of jasmine. Later through the night it becomes woody and and vanilla like. Good projection and longevity!

A smooth, well-balanced fragrance that smells refi

Valentino Born In Roma Purple Uomo has a very pleasant and well-balanced scent profile. It’s not too strong or overpowering, which makes it easy to wear and very approachable. The fragrance feels modern and elegant, with a smooth, refined character that sits nicely on the skin. I like that it’s noticeable without being intrusive, and it works well both during the day and in the evening. Overall, it’s a versatile and enjoyable scent that feels confident but never overwhelming.

7/10

This was really nice. I do think it smells more feminine!! It was quite a strong long lasting scent but gets in your nose and has made me sneeze multiple times. It would be a good scent for nights out but I do believe it smells more for ladies.

Love it

Valentino Born in Roma Purple is a sweet, fruity perfume that smells fresh and modern straight away. I can really smell the berries and floral notes and it feel fresh. Love it

Lovely Fragrance

This is an exceptional fragrance. I'd class this as a unisex fragrance that can be worn by anyone. The actual smell of this is quite sweet with a hint of coconut which gives it a lovely aroma on yourself once sprayed. You don't need too much of this which is always a great sign and it lasts most of the day and is certainly a high end fragrance that I'd thoroughly recommend.

Long lasting

Absolutely love it…..advertised as vanilla, lavender and vetiver and you can really identify those in this bottle. Its for all occassions including formal or casual and the best part its long lasting, could still smell it after my workout

Beautiful Scent

This is a unique scent which has lovely floral tones,minerals and sage.Its masculine but not overpowering.The fragrance lasts all day and i always get asked to what scent i have on.I love the stylish bottle,looks elagant.

Sweet smell

Only a small bottle due to being a tester, it has a very sweet scent which Is nice but quite strong. It feels like good value for money for a premium product
