Rome, Italy
Est. 1978 (fragrance)
Valentino's perfumery has gone through three distinct eras — the romantic Roman classicism of Valentino Mirabilis, the bolder gourmand-leather aesthetic of Valentino Donna and Uomo, and the modern Born in Roma franchise that turned the brand into one of the most-talked-about luxury houses of the 2020s.
K Chris carries the full Valentino lineup: Born in Roma (Donna, Uomo, Donna Coral Fantasy, Uomo Coral Fantasy), Donna Born in Roma Yellow Dream, Voce Viva, Valentino Donna, Valentino Uomo, and the niche Anatomy of Dreams collection when stock allows. The studded bottle design has become as recognizable as the fragrances themselves.
Born in Roma Donna is the modern women's signature — vanilla bourbon, jasmine grandiflorum, and a powdery cashmere base that reads sweet without tipping into gourmand caricature. Uomo Born in Roma is the men's counterpart: ginger, lavender, leather, and patchouli arranged for evening projection.
