Valentino Donna Born in Roma ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 4 July 2019 7 Comments

Valentino has launched Valentino Donna Born in Roma, a new flanker to 2015's Valentino Donna.

Born in Roma Donna is a modern haute couture floriental.

A couture fragrance made of 3 jasmine flowers and accords blended with Bourbon vanilla, one of the most expensive ingredients in modern perfumery. This is twisted with a cool facet of pink pepper and a woody overdose, giving this couture feminine fragrance a modern edge.

A self-celebration of my roots, my values and my personality.

The bottle is designed with the iconic Valentino stud, inspired by Roman architecture, which is the signature of Valentino Couture.

Additional notes for the woody fruity fragrance include blackcurrant, bergamot, cashmeran and guaiac wood.

Valentino Donna Born in Roma is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    I quite like Donna but not sure about this flanker as I’m scared of woody overdose which immediately makes me think screechy woods.

      I liked Donna too, and have not tried the flankers.

    Its actually super sweet and fruity. It’s very similar to Valentina Pink and La Vie Est Belle. Very cloying in this summer heat.
