Valentino Perfumes

Valentino Garavani opened his couture house in Rome in 1959, and the city has stayed woven into the brand's identity ever since, right down to the specific shade of red the fashion world still calls "Valentino Red." That same connection to Rome eventually found its way into fragrance too, most clearly in the collection that's become the house's modern signature.

Born In Roma: A Bottle Built From Roman Architecture

Born In Roma, launched in 2019, comes in both Donna and Uomo versions, and the bottle itself tells half the story. Its pyramidal shape pays direct tribute to Valentino's iconic Rockstud, a design detail drawn from Roman architecture that's become a signature across the house's fashion line. The Donna version opens with jasmine sambac, one of the most prized florals in perfumery, then settles into vanilla bourbon, considered among the most expensive natural ingredients used in modern fragrance today.

Two Sides Of The Same Roman Story

Donna leans warm, sensual and floral, built for someone who wants depth rather than a light, easy scent. Uomo Born In Roma takes a more aromatic, woody direction, grounded in mineral and spicy accords that feel distinctly masculine without losing the collection's shared Roman thread. Together they're designed to read as two expressions of the same idea, history and modern self-expression sitting side by side rather than competing.
