Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Eau de Toilette

This was a blind buy, so I sprayed lightly at home before wearing it outside. It feels close to the boutique mood without trying to shout across the room. I would rather spend this amount here than overuse my designer bottle. I also checked it before going out during wear 2, and it did not become sharp.

The fragrance itself was fine, but the courier crushed the outer box and one cap arrived cracked. The seller arranged a replacement quickly, so the low score is for delivery. I also checked it over the weekend during wear 3, and it did not become sharp.

The parcel was delayed for several days and tracking barely moved. The seller replied patiently and added a sample later. The scent was okay; logistics lowered the score. I also checked it on a paper strip during wear 3, and I liked it more after it settled.

I had a small delivery issue and the after-sales reply was quick. That kind of service makes me more comfortable ordering again.

The first spray is fresh because of Violet Leaf, Mineral Notes, Salt. After about ten minutes, Ginger, Sage becomes softer and the whole scent feels more put together.
