Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Green Stravaganza

Green stravaganza gets too much hate, only because the born in Roma fan base consists of grown dudes that like to smell like teenage girls; overly loud and extremely sweet. I do agree that the performance could be better and it does lack in complexity, but the scent dna is still so unique. An amber like coffee with a fresh accord? This stuff is so good. The opening is absolutely candy like, even in Donna’s version of green stravaganza. Instant burst of that bright bergamot with that creamy coffee underneath it. And at the peak of the dry down, it comes together with an earthy twist to it all with the vetiver coming out to complete the scent. The lack of performance is the only thing that should be docked on this fragrance, because as the scent begins to fade (after three hours or so, which I personally don’t mind) the vetiver becomes the top note and it begins to fade away the bergamot and coffee. Nonetheless, I still think this flanker is amazing and the most creatively balanced in the line. all of BIR is really creative, but overwhelmingly sweet. I look forward to a reformulation of green stravaganza in hopes that they increase the performance and strengthen that opening dna I love so much.

Very overhated. Don't listen to those fragrance tiktokers that say buy Coral Fantasy and don't buy Green Stravagansa, because this fragrance is very very underated. Smell: A surprisingly good, fresh, green grass type scent that's hard to explain because it's very complex and sophisticated in my opinion. Very overhated. When me and my friend smelled this for the first time, I immediately bought it. I don't really get the coffee smell that everyone is talking about however. 8/10 Performance: Solid performance, lasts decently long on skin and has solid projection. A good fragrance for (maybe) school use or maybe use at dates and spray lots on. 5 sprays, or 6 if you are feeling lucky. 6.5/10 Atomiser: Extremely good, surprising even, atomizer. Nice cap, and the spray is just perfect, really. 9/10 Bottle: Nice looking bottle. Could stand out a little in a collection, and feels so nice to hold. 8/10 In the end a overhated fragrance that's perfect for spring. 7.8/10

The more reviewers I watch the more I think they shouldn't be trusted. It's a matter of personal opinion at the end of the day and part of me wishes this one gets even more hate so it stays hidden because it's awesome. It's powdery sweet, just like BiR Intense, and has that coffee note instead of lavender. In the air it smells godly, also like BiR Intense. This is nothing like Ferragamo Signature. It has no leather note which I like actually. Between BiR Intense and this, this is more masculine for sure. I do love both though. The performance unfortunately is not the best. After 4-5 hours it's gone. It doesn't even stay on clothes for half a day. The bottle is sexy and feels high quality. The atomizer and cap could be better but are still very good. 73 euros for a 100ml bottle is a touch on the expensive side. If it was 60-65 it would've been perfect. 9.2/10 Hot

I absolutely love this fragrance. I got it as a sample and didn’t realize that it was the masculine line of this fragrance, but I adore it. I honestly couldn’t tell that it was for men until someone told me—but now I can definitely smell it. From the day I got it, I’ve been mixing it with sweeter scents or fresher scents to give it more depth—anything with neroli, citrus, or cool floral notes makes it feel more “feminine.” This scent is sooo so delicious and I can smell it all day from 2-3 sprays. Feels like it has more breath than tom ford gray vetiver and has enough room to be lightened up further with semi-sweet green or floral scents. I really don’t smell coffee at all, but the bergamot and vetiver compliment each other so well. I was so in love with those two notes that I neglected to realize it was the men’s line lol. 10/10

I believe this fragrance is undervalued. While it deviates from the established BIR Uomo line, its unique direction is a welcome change. The other BIR fragrances (Intense, Coral Fantasy, Yellow Dream, etc.) share a similar serious tone, suitable for office or school settings. However, Green Stravaganza's playful, verdant character is better suited to warm summer days. Even if you dislike other Valentino BIR fragrances, I recommend trying this one. My only critique of the BIR series is their tendency to evoke a high school scent profile. While I personally enjoy them, I am aware of the potential for this association. Longevity is typical of a designer EDT; not exceptional, but it provides 5-7 hours of wear. Projection is excellent for the first four hours, after which it becomes a skin scent. 8.4/10

Honestly I’m a pretty big Valentino fan. It’s kind of the same story as montale. Their cheap, original, and good. I would say montale is better though but I still appreciate Valentino as there a designer but still good. Firstly I love the smell of this, it’s very fresh, green and natural which i appreciate because not many designer brands are doing that and sticking to a vanilla smell. The only down side is the performance which is just average and the only reason I’m saying that is because when comparing to montale is weak but that’s kind of an unfair comparison since montale is niche. In conclusion love this fragrance and what is represents as a original and new ideas with a good smell and average performance.

Best smelling fragrance in the line. I’ve been in the game since I was a kid and out of all my fragrances currently, I went nose blind to this one the more than the rest. I smelled this one on a shirt that I wore the previous day and realized it performs better than I thought. I’m not getting great performance on skin 2-3 hours but I’m skeptical that I’m going nose blind pretty quick. My nose usually takes a little time to adapt to certain fragrances. Even if 2-3 hours is the reality, getting 12 hours on a shirt is really good. I can spray this on - go to work come home, layer a different fragrance over top and I’m ready for the night. I don’t want every fragrance that I own to be beast mode. I usually like wearing two separate fragrances throughout the day so this is perfect.

i dont think this fragrance gets the love it really deserves . its amazing , one of my favourites actually . the opening its a citrus bomb and the cofee just sits there perfectly toning down the sweetnes of the bergamot to a perfect level , not to strong or weak but actually making it unique in a way. the vetiver shines somewhat later then i actually expected but not messing with the sweetness of the fragrance . the performance its not amazing but i still get around 6 hour of longevity and 2 ,maybe 3 hours of solid projection. i do find it personally the most unique scent in the line but i wouldnt go as far by saying its the best out of all of them . overall its a banger of a fragrance and i d recommend it a 1000 times if i had the opportunity 9/10

I cannot get over that intoxicating citrus in the opening. Truly a standout fragrance with lots of youthful character. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone over 35-40 due to light diffusive nature of the scent. I got this bottle after smelling a friend's, and to this day I have never gotten over how good it smells, just super light, maybe 30% woody 60% sweet and 10% of that citrus 'sparkle' if you will that pulls it all together. The projection on this is quite strong for about an hour from what I remember of my friend wearing it, with sillage even 6ft behind. Even with 2 sprays you will gas out a car if you don't wait a bit. Highly recommend every fragrance enthusiast try this at least once as they develop their tastes.

My mom gifted me a Valentino sample kit that included the majority of the line. This one was my favorite with a close second being coral fantasy This fragrance is a deep green scent with very pleasant hint of coffee. It's very mass appealing and recieved many compliments the times I wore it. It very hard to describe its scent, it has the mass appealing background Valentino scent richness and depth but with a deep lime green apple and coffee note. I enjoyed this fragrance so much I went back and bought a full sized bottle. I'd say it's very blind buy friendly to anyone looking for a going out, everyday or office scent as it's mass appealing and easy to wear.

I quite enjoy this scent. Very mass appealing, which is a good thing to most people, but a downside to others who prefer more niche scents. Sweet, kinda fresh, and youthful, and I do pick up the coffee in the opening/mid, but my favorite part is the dry down. After about 2 or 3 hours it’s a sweet warm seductive type of scent. I feel like it’s pretty unisex and women could definitely pull this off. Haven’t seen anyone else say this, but the dry down definitely reminds me of La Fin du Monde by Etat Libre d’Orange. Quality is what you’d expect from Valentino, and this scent is super versatile.

Coming back to this one to say that MAN has this grew on me. Longevity and projection is still EDT standard but it makes it perfect for a quick outing. Whether you're at the zoo, or the museum, the library, or the store, it works. A very unique scent that you have to really let it sit and get to you. At first it was very very basic to me. Reminded me of what Coach Green was trying to do but as time went on and I kept using it, I notice the sweet sticky coffee scent mixed with a fresh bergamont that just works. Definitely will be classed as an Underdog fragrance in a few years.

Actually this is one of my favorite scents I own because it his both sweet in a pleasant way but also complex. I think I have had some sneezes around me when greeting tables. I could see the potential for a head ache from it if wearer is too energetic. I have azzaro most wanted intense, Jean Paul gaultier, been wearing Aramini code profumo for the last ten years and own Versace eros and a little flame. Have a sample of Valentino classic. Amongst a few little others and this at this moment is my favorite scent. I wish I had thicker spillage and lasted longer tho

The first time I smelled this fragrance I couldn't stand it, a few weeks after I went back and bought it immediately. This is starting to get the love it deserves. The vetiver earthy note, with the citrus coffee notes make this a pleasantly amazing scent. You won't be like everyone else with the Valentino line as this one doesn't get worn as much as the others. This has become my signature scent and opened my eyes to vetiver note to be more appealing. I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for something a little different than most designer fragrances.

I picked up a 10ml traveler 2 weeks ago. It's my first green fragrance I've tried. I feel like the notes are off here. I don't smell any coffee even thoughts it's 1 of 3 notes listed. Smells great though! A green / tropical scent. Perfect for a warm spring or summer say. Also seems to perform nicely! Projection is at least arm length for the first few hours. I sprayed myself this morning around 530AM. It's 3PM now and while I it's barely a skin scent at this point (9 hours later). But I'm still getting whiffs of it on my shirt!

imo this might be the most "out there" from the uomo line, but thats a good thing because this is one is actually pleasant and not just a vanilla or iris bomb like other valentinos. Coffee and Bergamot for men is generally different, and the musky vetiver base with (to me at least) an almost soft leather edge makes this one really pleasant and appealing. As an EDT, just go a bit heavy with the sprays because it dries down kind of soft, but any intimate moment with this one on is sure to please anyone to go in for more.

I loved this fragrance from the first time I tried it. I worried a bit about all the reviews saying it has no longevity but have been pleasantly surprised with how long it lasts. Even after a full workday I can still smell it on myself. Although the projection leaves a lot to be desired. It is a skin scent almost from the beginning. The coffee notes remind me more of fresh ground beans than a brewed pot or coffee shop. There are plenty of great deals to be found on this, if one comes along it’s definitely worth a buy!

Mi favorito de la BIR masculina, una nota citrica que dice presente desde la aplicacion hasta que se esfuma, rica y fresca, acompañada de un cafe que a mi parecer si se siente y bastante, como para darle un giro mas adulto. Labase del vetiver siempre que esta, esta. Una fragancia diurna que cubre areas generales, no queda desubicada para el trabajo, para un evento o compromiso menos. Lo unico negativo es su duración y estela, es un 7/10 en esas caracteristicas, pero despues, una fragancia solida y rica.

Honestly don’t know what happening with people in the comments. This perfume might one of the best creations in Valentino’s Uomo line. It smells like coniferous forest, fresh mint and has a light greeny smell. Definitely a fresh, pure and unique designer fragrance. It kinda has a similarity with Montblanc Legend Spirite, but Green Stravaganza overpowers it, period. Definitely recommend to buy it. Received multiple positive comments and compliments wearing it.

I think this is a very nice fragrance, I see a lot of hate around it and honestly I don't get it. I think this is a very easy to wear pleasent and elegant smell that is quite original. To be honest I don't get much coffee from mine, it's definitely not intense (like an espresso shot) it appears rarely in the background, but I think this might me dependant on the batch. The bergamot is nice and mild, and the vetiver dry down is really good.

I'm a sucker for coffee in fragrances (or coffee in general). And I really like what Valentino has done here. Yeah, I know - this isn't everyone's favorite Valentino fragrance, it isn't mine as well, but damn is it unique in its own way. Unlike Devotion Pour Homme, this one sticks the landing for me, I love using this in the summer and spring. Projection and longevity overall are pretty good, nothing I can really complain about.

Despite everyone raving about the coffee notes, its very faint and not noticeable once it dries down. Don't buy this expecting the coffee smell at all. However, don't let the next to non-existent coffee smell deter you from buying this. It's versatile and has a slightly above average longevity. For some reason it lowk makes me feel like a femboy which is another reason why I love it, but take that as you will.

Over hated Valentino, this is one of the greatest smells that I had in my life but to be honest the performance is not good , others fragrances like Dior Homme Sport 2021 being also an EDT it last almost 24 hours in my skin and in clothes even if I wash them the smell continues but with this fragrance even though I overspray it only last like 6 hours and 2 hours or less of projection and it isn't the best.

Valentino Green Stravaganza. An absolute underrated masterpiece. This fragrance gets dissed so hard by Tiktok drones but as an FBFragrances enthusiast, I got it anyway and love it. Although its performance isn't amazing, its scent makes up for it with a citrusy opening that stays with you for 5 hours as it dries down to a nice sweet coffee scent. Got instant compliments from family and love this 9.6/10.

Such an amazing and delicious scent, very citrus with an undertone of coffee and it's just wonderful! Truly one of my favorite fragrances and the one I wear most often so far. My only complaint would be that I wish the silage and longevity was stronger ☹ it doesn't last long on my skin personally, disappears in probably less than 4 hours, and it just breaks my heart, but the smell is amazing ♡

Smelt this as a sample and was very surprised enough so that i decided to get a full bottle of it since it really stood out from the valentions to me. I really enjoy the scent profile of this and i like how its not just a basic green scent. Its a shame about the longevity however its got a beautiful scent profile and believe more people should be trying this out of the other valentinos.

Bright and green, I don't really smell a lot of coffee like most people are talking about, maybe a hint of coffee, it's mostly green notes with green apple for some reason. It is not strong on my skin. Smells a lot better than Valentino Born In Roma Intense 2019. Edit— I like it better than when I last commented on it back in December 2025...“edited on 2/2/26 12:34PM-12:36PM EST”

Yes. This is the best flanker of them all. Really well blended. I don't get that much coffee. So to me it smells absolutely nothing like Halloween Man X. It opens nice and fresh and the dry down is more greenish and you do get that vetiver and a little coffee. Really well blended and nice choice for the scent profile. Not a heavy projector but the longevity is oke.

Opening is very similar to YSL myself and don’t really smell the coffee note. After the dry down, the bergamot note starts to fade away and the coffee note starts to become noticeable. Personally I love this fragrance and it is now my daily scent but I’d recommend you to smell it first before buying being it very citrusy and a little bit expensive 8.5/10

This fragrance is the second best from the valentino line in my opinion. The simplicity and the unique citrusy coffee blends so well together to the point of it becoming addicting. It smells so good on skin, and the vetiver just adds an even better dry down to it as well. The only issue is that it doesn't last very long usually. 8.8/10

smells nothing like any of BiR flankers before.. Valentino should have created a new line this is the best BiR so far it stands on its own, fresh a little green but semi sweet and then creamy all the way unique scent, versatile, youthful love at first sniff 10/10 for sure and my top 3 so far well done Valentino <3 always my no.1 brand

I actually love this stuff... I may be the only one but when I first smelt YSl myslf I thought it smelt a ton like this stuff. Side by side you don’t get it but definitely resemble each other other than the floral notes in myslf... anyway this stuff is like morning crisp sharp beautiful and I can’t get enough of it

I don’t understand the hate to this fragrance. It’s a mass appealing and fairly unique scent. It’s great for summer nights and is a great compliment getter. Performance wise it lasts a mediocre 6-8 hours with also mediocre projection. Over all it’s an 8.5/10. An edp version of this would be great.

I smelled this at the perfume counter at Dillard's...it's too green and strong. Smells like someone took what makes GIT and Cool Water smell good and multiplied it by 300. It didn't really smell like a woman's perfume to me...now Valentino Born In Roma for men 2019, that smells like a girl.

My everyday. Honestly my favourite fragrance that I own. If I don't know what to wear, I wear this. You can always bet on valentino to make a masculine fragrance. However valentino fragrances smell very similiar. I'd advise buying either this or born in roma intense. Not both 9/10

This smells like a college professor who is having an affair. Really lovely, simple scent that reminds me of the rain and earth and autumn. The coffee really ties it together. But yeah it's giving tweed, it's giving English department, it's giving see me after class.

Fresh bubblegum sweet citrus combined with coffee creates almost a warm caramel type scent, also has a kinda medicinal quality but that could be just me, works good for a all year round type fragrance, bad longevity and projection, go heavy on the sprays, 8/10

One of my favorite versatile designers! It has a nice sweet-citrusy smell, which I always enjoy, and that coffee note makes it unique and a little darker than your average summer-spring frag. One of my favorite daily drivers, just wish it lasted longer.

Best valentino imo, very similar to halloween man X but wayyy better. I hate how overbearing the coffee note is in Halloween man x, and this smells similar but with that coffee note being lowered a lot, letting the other smells come to the forefront.

This cologne gets so much hate for no reason! once the coffee note hits is where this cologne shines it is a wonderful daily wear and signature scent. On my skin it lasts around 6-7 hours,on clothes its upwards of 8 hours. highly recommend

this is my favourite valentino, the coffee note is addicting and makes the fragrance quite versatile imo. I don't see why you couldn't wear this fragrance in fall/winter despite what the ratings say. lasts 8-9 hours on my skin

Probably the best smelling scent I own. Problem is the performance, it is at least on my skin extremely bad projection and sillage is limited and lasts me a whopping 2-3 hours max. Wasted potential but still recommended.

didn't expect to like this one but its my favorite ive smelled of the uomo line so far! you expect the bergamot to clash with the coffee but it really doesn't in my opinion and it makes it really versatile.

I looooooooooove this fragrance! The nice, strong, realistic bergamot blended with a nice spicy latte type smell is truly tantalizing to the nostrils. Can be used in all seasons. 10/10 would get again.

Ive tested this at sephora. It really do have a great scent. The opening is very smooth sweet citrus. The drydown was a bit feminine but its not a bad thing tbh. The coffee notes cant barely smell.

It smells amazing but it's just very weak I'm going to have to spray a lot. The review are right. This is a good smell I love it. Its just weak. Maybe because it's the Toilette. Not sure but yeah.

Green extraviganza is an incredible fragrance it only lasts around 5 hours but it in very nice you cannot smell the coffee note very much but you really dont need it 9/10, I would go 10-15 sprays.

Good perfume the longetivity is a little dissapointing but is still noticeable after 3 hours or 4 smells i notice a spice of apple but thats for me reccomend it idk whybit gets so much hate

Best in the Valentino line up 100% nothing else to say, perfect blend of sweet and fresh Scent 9.3/10 Longetivity 8.4/10 Sillage 7.3/10 Overall, this is a solid 8/10 Good blind buy? no

How do you not smell coffee in this? The coffee is super strong in this. And it’s beautiful if you love coffee frags. The coffee note hits different than frags like Halloween x.
