Both the women's and men's versions of the fragrance are not only a reinterpretation, but also a raising of the bar for perfumes with high concentration and expressive power. Valentino Born in Roma Extradose is a fragrance for a generation that lives on a grand scale and without filters.

The explosion of blackcurrant from the very first note gives the Donna fragrance a sensual and mysterious character. It is an aroma that takes us to a summer evening in Rome - full of light, laughter and seductive glances. At the heart of the composition pulsates a thick, almost hedonistic rum accord - a fruity-alcoholic note that evokes the memory of a cocktail in a luxurious Italian bar overlooking the Roman Forum.

The base is an intense, creamy vanilla that envelops the skin like a silk dress – sensual, but not overwhelming. Donna Extradose is a perfume that can be described in one word: magnetic.

The masculine version of the fragrance – Uomo Extradose – surprises from the very first contact with the air. Juicy bergamot and mandarin give the opening freshness, but this is only a prelude to the game of senses. The heart is dominated by a duet of rum and lavender – intense, masculine, and at the same time noble.

The base is a perfectly balanced combination of blackcurrant, vetiver and woody notes . The whole thing exudes self-confidence and nonchalant elegance - like a man in a tuxedo against the background of the Roman Coliseum. Uomo Extradose is a fragrance that does not ask for permission - it simply stays in the memory.

The new Extradose versions are housed in the iconic studded bottles that every Valentino fan knows. This time, however, they have been enriched with even more expressive details – pink accents for her, deep black for him. It is a nod to individualism and a celebration of the power of personality.
