Born in Roma extradose review!!!
Absolutely love this flanker, the black currant and rum is very dominant in this perfume. The Born in Roma OG was always my favorite from this line, but this may have taken its spot!! This will have your man fold you up like a lawn chair… 10 out of 10
Okay, so if you're anything like me, you're always on the hunt for that signature scent, right? And when it comes to 'Roma perfume,' the Valentino Born in Roma line has always held a special place in my heart. But let me tell you about the Extradose – it's truly something else! When I first heard about the Born in Roma Extradose, I was intrigued. The original Born in Roma Donna has been a staple for me, that perfect blend of classic elegance with a modern edge. So, for a flanker to potentially unseat it, it had to be spectacular. And honestly? It delivered. The description in the original post perfectly captures that dominant black currant and rum. It's not just a hint; it’s a confident, rich opening that immediately grabs your attention. Imagine a juicy, slightly tart black currant, deepened by the warmth and sophistication of rum. It’s intoxicating without being overpowering. As it dries down, I find it settles into a beautiful, creamy warmth, maintaining its playful allure while becoming incredibly smooth. It’s definitely a fragrance that evolves on your skin, revealing new facets throughout the day. One of the biggest questions I always have about any new 'Roma perfume' is its longevity and sillage. Nobody wants a scent that disappears in an hour, and with Extradose, you won't have that problem. I typically get a good 7-8 hours of wear, sometimes even longer, especially when I spray it on my clothes. The sillage is moderate to strong – it definitely makes a statement without being cloying. It's the kind of scent that leaves a beautiful trail, making people wonder what you're wearing in the best way possible. This leads me to the compliment factor, which is HUGE for me. I've worn many perfumes, but few get quite the reaction that Born in Roma Extradose does. I swear, every time I wear it out, someone inevitably tells me, "You smell good!" It's not just a polite comment; it's a genuine exclamation. There’s something about the unique blend of fruit, rum, and those underlying warm notes that just resonates with people. It feels alluring, confident, and a little bit mysterious – perfect for a date night, a special occasion, or even just when you want to feel totally put-together during the day. Compared to the original Born in Roma Donna, the Extradose feels bolder, more intense, and with a slightly darker, more sensual edge thanks to that rum note. While the original is beautiful for everyday wear and has a vibrant, floral sweetness, the Extradose steps it up, adding a layer of depth and sophistication that makes it feel more luxurious. It’s like the original's cooler, more adventurous older sister. If you love the Born in Roma DNA but crave something with more oomph and a unique twist, this 'Roma perfume' flanker is absolutely worth exploring. It’s definitely taken its spot as my 10 out of 10 go-to!
