Inspired by Valentino Born in Roma Uomo.

Aromatic Sage is Dossier's fresh woody interpretation of Valentino Born in Roma Uomo, opening with pineapple, pink pepper, water fruits and ginger before sage, violet leaf and aromatic notes settle into vetiver, benzoin and amberwood. Product Overview Inspired by Born in Roma Uomo, the composition combines chilled fruit and metallic aromatic freshness with a warmer woody base. Sage and violet leaf give the middle its recognisable green texture while vetiver, benzoin and amberwood gradually add smoke and warmth. Scent Profile The opening is bright and energetic through pineapple, watery fruits and ginger. Pink pepper adds lift. Sage and violet leaf then introduce a cooler aromatic character before the base turns drier and warmer through vetiver and amberwood, with benzoin smoothing the finish. Technical Structure and Development Aromatic Sage is built around a cool to warm transition. The top feels juicy and metallic, the middle aromatic and green, and the final stage woody with a delicate smoky quality. Performance Dossier lists Aromatic Sage as Significant intensity at 15 percent concentration. The opening gives clear presence while vetiver and amberwood support the later wear. Wear Scenarios Aromatic Sage is built for: • everyday masculine wear • office use • spring and autumn • casual evenings • anyone wanting modern freshness with more texture than a standard blue scent Scent Family Positioning This sits in the fruity aromatic woody lane, mixing water fruits and spice with sage, violet leaf and amber woods. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Aromatic Sage is directly inspired by Valentino Born in Roma Uomo, preserving its modern fresh aromatic character and woody warmth. Flankers and Variations Within Dossier it provides a more textured alternative to straightforward citrus aromatics and a fresher option than dense amber gourmands.
