Description
Born in Roma The Gold Uomo is a limited-edition, warm-spiced and subtly solar twist on the classic Born in Roma Uomo line. Launched in 2024, it blends spices, cedar, vanilla, and amber into a charismatic powerhouse inspired by summer in Rome — golden hues, sun-lit cobblestones, and luxurious evenings. It’s not your typical aquatic Born in Roma; it’s deeper, warmer, and radiantly rich (fragrantica.com).
The fragrance opens with an aromatic spice burst, featuring nutmeg and unspecified “solar notes” — giving it a warm, citrusy-spicy golden glow that’s instant and intriguing (fragrantica.com).
Quickly, the core transitions into Virginia cedar, adding woodiness and structure. The heart feels smooth and modern — not overly sweet, but solid and well-rounded (blog.vperfumes.com).
From there, the base unfolds into amber, vanilla accord, and a touch of cedar’s mystique. The result is a sweet-spicy oriental that lingers — warm, cozy, and polished, with excellent longevity (blog.vperfumes.com).
