Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Yellow Dream

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on pineapple and mandarin orange, moves through spices, gingerbread and ginger, and settles on vanilla absolute and cedar essence.

• pineapple: sharp tropical sweetness with a slightly boozy edge
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
