Quick verdict

A 100ml Uomo Born in Roma eau de toilette, the 2019 mineral-spicy woody men's scent. Buyers describe it as clean, masculine and well-projecting, but longevity reports split between 5–7 and about 8 hours. Sample first if all-day wear matters, and check the batch code at purchase.

Fit notes

One 100ml eau de toilette bottle. The listing gives no spray-count or travel-size option, so if scent profile is unverified for you, a decanted sample is the cheaper first step before committing to full size.

Buy if

You want a fresh-mineral spicy woody men's EDT for daily wear and are comfortable with roughly 5–8 hours, or plan to spray clothing, which buyers say extends wear.

Skip if

You need confirmed all-day projection without reapplication, or you dislike the fresh mass-market body-wash character one reviewer found generic.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

What does Born in Roma smell like?⌄

The catalog lists a spicy woody profile: mineral violet leaf and salt up top, ginger and sage in the middle, and woody vetiver in the base. Buyers echo a woody, mineral, clean character.

How long does it last?⌄

Reports are mixed — some buyers get 5–7 hours with the scent turning close to the skin, others about 8 hours on skin. Reviewers say it lasts longer on clothing and in warm, humid conditions.

Is this the EDP or the EDT?⌄

The listing is the eau de toilette. Reviewers describe the fresher EDT versions as sitting near 5–7 hours, while Born in Roma fragrances average about 6–10 hours across the line.

How do I check authenticity?⌄

Buyers advise watching the batch code, since counterfeits commonly reuse codes seen on other fakes. Verify the code on the bottle against its packaging before purchase.

Is the 100ml worth choosing over a sample?⌄

With longevity and character drawing split buyer opinions, starting with a smaller decant is a sensible way to judge how it wears on you before committing to the full 100ml.
