The Scoop
Extravagant Lover captures the fresh citrus opening and iris-forward heart of Uomo Born in Roma quite well, with a comparable clean and masculine character. However, the base lacks the same depth and longevity as the original, with the woody-amber foundation feeling slightly thinner and less refined after the mid-development.
Key Differences
The clone performs well in the top and heart phases but noticeably drops in projection and longevity in the dry-down, lasting roughly 4-5 hours versus the designer's 6-8 hours. The vetiver and cedarwood in the base feel more generic and less sophisticated than Valentino's more nuanced woody-amber accord.
