Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy
On request
A decant to judge violet leaf and aromatic sage for yourself
Uomo Born in Roma is an Eau de Toilette from Valentino. Top notes on record: violet leaf. Base notes: salt and ginger. A decant gives you time with it, which a quick spray on a paper strip never does. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
For the first impression, the house names violet leaf. Opening notes set the tone but do not stay. Write down what you notice after a few minutes and again after lunch, and you will see how it moves. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
Heart notes on record: aromatic sage and smoked vetiver. This is the part you will be aware of for most of the time you wear it. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
Salt and ginger: that is what the house records underneath Uomo Born in Roma. Check your wrist again at the end of the day to meet it. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Uomo Born in Roma, so let your own days decide. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
By its tags, Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is meant for men. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one. The sample is for anyone who wants to know a perfume before owning it. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label.
Trying before owning saves shelf space and regret. Filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us: a decant, not an official brand sample. We are not affiliated with Valentino. A bottle of 100 ml lasts a long time, so it helps to be sure first.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

No. It is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems decants Uomo Born in Roma from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labels it; the house is not involved.
The recorded base notes are salt and ginger. Wear the sample into the evening to meet them, because they come forward only after the opening and heart have faded.
That depends on how long you want to test. The smallest vial is enough for a first impression of Uomo Born in Roma; the larger ones give you many wearings, in different weather and on different days.
The brand
We list 34 perfumes by Valentino as samples. You choose 2, 5 or 10 ml; we fill the glass spray vial from the original bottle and label it ourselves. You find Valentino among the designer perfume samples. Trying two or three of them side by side shows what the house is about on your own skin.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
