For anyone after a woody, mineral, clean-masculine signature, the 100 ml Born in Roma fits daily wear, and community reports on the line describe strong longevity and mass appeal. Those reports cover the line rather than this exact listing, so confirm the version and bottle details with the seller before ordering.

Buy if
You want a woody-mineral signature for everyday wear, and you're comfortable buying from a listing whose buyer reports are line-level rather than bottle-specific. You value the reported sillage and longevity, and you'll ask the seller which version and volume is shipping.
Skip if
You want a sweeter scent: community comparisons put Born in Roma Intense, not the original, at the stronger, sweeter, less fresh end. Or you need performance confirmed on the exact bottle before ordering.
