The Born in Roma Creative Team: Perfumers and Muses
The success of the *Born in Roma* line is rooted in a collaborative creative vision, combining the artistry of master perfumers with the magnetic appeal of its high-profile muses. This blend of technical skill and cultural relevance is central to the collection’s topical authority and enduring popularity.
- The Original Uomo Born in Roma (2019) Perfumers: The masculine pillar, a woody spicy scent, was crafted by master perfumers Antoine Maisondieu and Guillaume Flavigny.
- Coral Fantasy Perfumers: The vivid, fruit-forward *Coral Fantasy* flankers were the creation of Jean-Christophe Hérault and Nicolas Beaulieu.
- Muses (Faces of the Campaign): The collection is famously fronted by supermodel Adut Akech (The Friend of the House) and model/musician Anwar Hadid (The Irreverent Young Man), embodying the collection’s blend of couture elegance and irreverent modernity.
- Inspiration: The entire collection is a tribute to Rome, the "Eternal City," and the concept of "Couture Elegance," where the iconic Valentino Rockstud design is translated into the fragrance bottle’s texture.
