SOTD: Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Extradose

This opens with a sharp spicy accord that immediately sets a darker, more commanding tone. The mid develops into the signature wild lavender, giving aromatic freshness and linking it to the Born in Roma DNA. Finally, the base settles into a warm woody accord, adding depth and masculine elegance. Projection is moderate with a clear presence in the first few hours, and longevity sits at 6–8 hours. Compared to Born in Roma Uomo Intense, which emphasizes a smoother lavender–vanilla sweetness, Extradose feels leaner, spicier, and woodier, making it the more mature and assertive take in the line. It smells great and one of my favourites in the BIR line, overall rating 9.0/10
