Just Bought Valentino Uomo Born In Roma and Man I Love it! Everyone in my family got a “wow that smells really good” reaction from the opening smell, hardly any of my 30+ fragrances have gotten that “wow” factor! Can’t wait to wear it on a night out!
Great video! Born in Roma is such underrated scent, look at the score on Fragrantica 😂And pretty much all the UA-cam reviewers trashed it too... but only because it doesn't smell like those lipsticky Uomo and Uomo Intense. I think Born in Roma is the best smelling fragrance in that line 🔥 Alana seemed to like it as well!
@@SoCalScents you guys should get all your female guests to smell Valentino Uomo, Uomo Intense and Born in Roma in one video to finally solve the king of that line 😁 But maybe it's pointless since we already know Born in Roma would most likely win 😄
I smelled Born in Roma a while back at a Nordstrom and was immediately reminded of Invictus. Since I already own Invictus Aqua, I pretty much gave up on Born in Roma at that point and decided it was not worth buying a bottle. Do you think Born in Roma is better than anything from the Invictus line?
Just bought black xs after your reviews. I had the original back in the day & the new one smells the same but not as syrupy sweet as the original from what I remember but I’m so glad to have this in my collection again!
Which of those or any others would you choose to finish the collection - Prada Black, Rasasi Hawas, Wanted by night, The One EDP, Prada L'Homme Intense, Banana Republic 78 Green, Boss Bottled Intense, Halloween X, Shot and Light Blue Intense, Pure Malt, spicebomb What I have is Versace Eros EDP, Halloween Man, CDNIM, Gentleman EDP, Prada Carbon, First Instinct. I was thinking I maybe lack some heavy winter hitter - bonfire scent to project and impress-since i dont have any tobacco, leather, booze, coffee, cinammon frag (i thought wanted by night, spicebomb, pure malt), maybe a high heat frag(thats why i mentioned Green 78, Light blue intense, but maybe carbon and first instinct are fine for that?), maybe a date scent(thought of prada black, one edp- maybe one of those fits to the winter category as well?) or something else unique in my collection like Hawas - (which you recommended last time but i decided to buy 2-3 new scents overall, i guess Hawas would be good buy as one of the three as a fresh clubber or daily-all year unique frag) I don't really want to buy more than 3, and thats why i ask, since if it was 6 i would already choose :D
You are on the right track. I would suggest these 3 to round out collection. Hawas, Wanted by night, and Prada black. You could switch out black with Armani Code Absolu. And if you really wanted a boozy scent go with CH Men Prive. I enjoy it a little more than pure malt. As it’s a boozy leather jacket vibe.
@@SoCalScents I'm seeing it for roughly 50 dollars on some places...since you blind bought it and loved it that much and I want to be a rock star I'll probably buy it haha thank you for the recommendation!
Black XS works or projects best for me in warm to hot weather. I do not wear it much in Winter. It does smell very sexy. In fact, the place I bought mine from was selling it for Valentine's Day.
Not even comparable fragrances as they share absolutely nothing in common besides the XS in the name. Pure XS is a warm Vanilla Coke. Black XS is a tart strawberry with some sweetness. You can wear black XS year round as a night on the town fragrance. Pure XS is a fall/winter fragrance.
@@SoCalScents hey I know you have recommended black xs for a Green Day show. I just bought bad boy le parfum and I love and just smelt black xs at a fragrance store today. Not sure when I would buy black xs but would bad boy le parfum be a good one for Green Day?
@@SoCalScents try find out the best stronger with you with your women reviewers. Wondering if original, intensely or absolutely would be the best. It should get some good views too!
Addiction is real. Give yourself a final number. Like say 20. Once you hit 20, you either need to sell one, give away one, or finish a bottle off before getting the next one. That way it doesn’t get crazy over bearing.

Agreed 100%. It gets crazy unwarranted hate and it’s actually good and we prefer by far over anything in the Uomo line

@@Stifmeister1 yeah I can’t picture any of the girls liking the others much. I just got a sample of Uomo but it’s not for me
Uomo Intense is my all time favourite fragrance so naturally I’m going straight to the shop to check if you’re onto something with Born in Roma 🤔
@@zachhart3592 they smell absolutely nothing alike or similar. Think of it as a different fragrance.
I don’t understand how you guys don’t have tens of thousands of subscribers. My new favorite Chanel. Love the live streams.
Thank you James! We will get there 😎
How long do u guys let the dry downs dry? Are they already sprayed before the ladies get there or are they drying down while they are there?
Always different. Usually hanging out so it sits for a while. Sometimes it’s presprayed if short on time. Always varies depending on time

It is in the same family of fragrance style of invictus. Honestly it’s just preference but we like it as a night time summer scent.
Hey Jeff, I'm going to get black xs and wondering does it matter if its from 2018?
We have the 2018 bottle of it. Never tried it in the old bottle
I have pure Xs and Xs night is it redundant to have Black Xs?
They smell nothing alike. Very different fragrances
I honestly do not comprehend the born in Roma hate. I love it.
We like it to. A lot of reviewers have a hard time separating it from its style of fragrance.
Just bought black xs after your reviews. I had the original back in the day & the new one smells the same but not as syrupy sweet as the original from what I remember but I’m so glad to have this in my collection again!
We enjoy it quite a bit. Never experienced the original, but this one is a unique love
@@SoCalScents very unique & so glad they released it again
You gotta bring her back she was very fun and enlightening.
Alana’s in a couple dozen videos. Be sure to check them out :)
Dodgers won the World Series. Fitting for y’all to release an episode the day after. Love from LA ✊🏼
Right back at you! Love from LA!
Hell yeah Dodger Blue!
I WAS MORE SURPRISED BY THE BEAUTY OF THIS GIRL.😘
Who comes from the Livestream ✌
The real ones
Honestly more into this channel than any other fragrance channel after few weeks of following this channel. Best content imo
@@hooks210 😊🙌
I feel like this channel is the best kept secret on youtube. Keep up the great work!
Really appreciate it Eitan!
Which of those or any others would you choose to finish the collection - Prada Black, Rasasi Hawas, Wanted by night, The One EDP, Prada L'Homme Intense, Banana Republic 78 Green, Boss Bottled Intense, Halloween X, Shot and Light Blue Intense, Pure Malt, spicebomb
What I have is Versace Eros EDP, Halloween Man, CDNIM, Gentleman EDP, Prada Carbon, First Instinct.

Get you some Mancera Red Tobacco. 100% you will love it. Also would recommend Armani Stronger With You Intensely.
Livestreaming before posts is a great idea! Interested to see the pure xs flanker reaction!
Trying it on the mini videos. It got good initial views last week, but slowed down after. So we shall see!
@@SoCalScents I'm seeing it for roughly 50 dollars on some places...since you blind bought it and loved it that much and I want to be a rock star I'll probably buy it haha thank you for the recommendation!
@@broccoliking6668 I got mine on eBay for $39. Ediscountperfumes tester bottle. Save some money. They are my favorite fragrance eBay store
Really like that “ice cream” note in love is love. Smells great. Do you fell like it would get too sickly sweet in high heat?
Yeah, that’s why I think warm weather is it’s best time to wear it. High heat it’s better to wear Intense
I'd love a Black XS vs Le Male Le Parfum battle!
go for le male le parfum
Do u guys prefer Invictus or Born in Roma?
Born in Roma over Invictus.
@@SoCalScents yuppp, i returned mine, kinda regret it
Black XS works or projects best for me in warm to hot weather. I do not wear it much in Winter. It does smell very sexy. In fact, the place I bought mine from was selling it for Valentine's Day.
We about to hype this fragrance hard 🙌😅
Sold my Uomo this week and got born in roma. Upgrades people upgrades
Was pretty busy today, looking forward to the video!
Lets go SoCal!!! Was waiting for this one!
Yeah buddy! Black XS 👌
Black Xs or Pure Xs??
Not even comparable fragrances as they share absolutely nothing in common besides the XS in the name. Pure XS is a warm Vanilla Coke. Black XS is a tart strawberry with some sweetness. You can wear black XS year round as a night on the town fragrance. Pure XS is a fall/winter fragrance.
@@SoCalScents very helpful and informative. Thank you so much
@@esmaeelardeshiri3964 welcome! Love both scents for very different things. Pure XS is my go to fall/winter. Black XS is a fun night out with friends
@@SoCalScents gotta try them both now 🤘🏻
I miss the live stream but I got this golden video 🙏🙏
🙌🙌
Definitely going to have to cop Black XS now!
We blind bought it, and liked it so much we bought two bottles so we could each have one.
Please do more of Oumo Born in Roma, i bought it and saw the reviewers videos afterwards and they all hated it. D:
We love it quite a bit!
Yay! Can’t wait for her next review (Encre noir)!
It’s a funny one 🙌😅
That was cool 😎 3 fragrances that don’t get much love! Dig it 🤝
All are great pick ups too!
@@SoCalScents yeah no doubt I’m on board with getting Black XS!!
@@brandonphoenix1096 it was a blind buy for us and we liked it so much we bought a second bottle so we could each have one!
@@SoCalScents nice 🤝😎
Love is love or light blue intense?
Intense is the better fragrance. Light blue love is a great casual more fun fragrance to add to rotation
Black xs is my secret weapon ;)
Gonna by a weapon tomorrow!
Would you recommend uomo ?
Born in Roma, yes.
@@SoCalScents hey I know you have recommended black xs for a Green Day show. I just bought bad boy le parfum and I love and just smelt black xs at a fragrance store today. Not sure when I would buy black xs but would bad boy le parfum be a good one for Green Day?
@@glall3603 if it’s outside and hot I would wear something fresh. But if it’s indoors, rock it.
@@SoCalScents the venue is indoors so would bad boy be ok?
@@glall3603 it should be ok. It’s a cool weather fragrance but as long as it has AC
Me. I really appreciate live-streams, Jeff.
Thank you Michael!
Love that gelato......is similar to the female light blue
Yeah, for sure. Female has a little more floral but they are definitely in same field. Light blue love is a great unisex scent
Is black xs gothic?
Not really. It’s a sweet tart strawberry rockstar fragrance. Like picture a rocker going through a stage door.
Here is what chelsea thought of it ua-cam.com/video/Oj4BSJAMgDA/v-deo.html
@@SoCalScents thanks alot!
@@SoCalScents try find out the best stronger with you with your women reviewers. Wondering if original, intensely or absolutely would be the best. It should get some good views too!

Thank you Mark!
Good work guys!!
Appreciate it Gregor!
Dude i wanna go hang in LA with these guys!
We have a lot of fun 😎
@@SoCalScents i bet!
Guess I have to blind buy pure xs now!
Pure XS and Black XS were blind buys and turned out great for us
I was thinking the same! Blind buy for tomorrow!!
Great video 😊
I need to stop buying frags...but I can’t.

@@SoCalScents good point... I’m already at like 50+ and I’m 18 lol
Damn I thought I had a problem. Well I do, but 50+ ? That's a shit load.
@@dnareti yea lol I’m down to 30 now 😀 hopefully that number keeps going down
She's pretty. She looks like the girl (Judie Aronson) from the movie "weird science", w/ Anthony Michael Hall. Old school movie.
I was just searching for a review of BlackXS, the description of smelling like a rockstar is enough for me to blind buy it 😂👍🏻
What did you think ?
one thing ... she's a very pretty girl !
Great review!!!
really pretty cool girl good stuff 👍
Thank you Will!
@@SoCalScents how similar are pure Xs and black Xs worth having both?
@@chacosavage nothing alike, very different fragrances. Can easily own both. Both are unique scents.
Wow 😎👌
Thanks Francisco
O got LB Love is Love and gave it away to my 10 yrs old nice. 😂
She’s gonna smell good
@@SoCalScents She will. She loved and she could smell icecream.
good video :)
Thank you Christophe 🤗

Thx Alana
Thanks Richard!
Bir valentino is the best.
Firsttttt!

You reseemable ant man 😊
Yes

Right on 😎🙌
@@SoCalScents been really considering that born in Roma. First review I've seen on it because I'm really sold on the Uomo Intense. We shall 👀
@@hooks210 born in Roma is very different than Uomo Intense. We love Roma quite a bit.
Thumps up for Trump
I love how this is the only comment that SoCal didn't reply to 😂😂😂 massive Kudos to the level they engage with their community.
Bye bye Trump
4th lol
And look at all those haters who thumbed down the video before they could even watch it 😂
@@SoCalScents 🤦🏽♂️ i don't understand it smh..
@@jorellmejia9065 same. Not even 15 seconds into it going live. 😅
@@SoCalScents there will always be haters my man.. always. But the loyal fans are the ones who matter anyway 🙌🏽🤘🏼 they can be miserable on their own 😤
@@SoCalScents we gotcha 👌🏽
Black xs is my secret weapon ;)
It’s so good
Not anymore. 😁
@@Blowmeagain as thousands drift towards it now. Just wait until we feature it in a night on the town video! It’s a winner
Glad I live in Sovakia (Europe). So still will be a secret wepon ;)
