Valentino Donna Born In Roma Eau De Parfum

I get flowers with…chocolate? Some type of dessert that involves jasmine and a blooming garden. The first time I smelled it, I thought this was not for me. Also, Born in Roma is a very mainstream line, and especially the original scent is worn all over Spain. However, it grew on me, and I forgot about its popularity, just focusing on the feelings I got from the smell. It has an interesting combination of gourmand and floral notes. The fragrance does not blow your mind per se, but the word CUTE is a very nice way of describing it. While other flankers are bolder and feel more alternative, this fragrance already feels like a classic, suitable for any occasion, and liked by most men and women.

Charming blackcurrant paired with smooth jasmine makes this fragrance elegant, feminine, and thoroughly enjoyable. The opening is the most delightful part of the experience, offering a burst of fruity-floral charm. Easy to wear and presented in an attractive bottle, it fits comfortably within the mainstream tradition of floral fragrances enriched with fruits. Versatile and gift-friendly, it is a safe and pleasant choice for many occasions. Longevity and projection are moderate.

A fragrance you don’t need a master’s degree from ISIPCA to describe well. The opening is fresh, with tart blackcurrant and bergamot. After a while, however, the scent becomes sweeter, jasmine appears, ripe, rich, and intensified by vanilla. In the dry down, the vanilla blends with woody accords, turning velvety and very comforting. This fragrance reminds me of late June and the beginning of the summer holidays in Poland. I’m sitting on my grandmother’s porch, enjoying a slice of pleśniak (a crumbly cake with fluffy vanilla foam and blackcurrant jam) while the air is filled with the scent of blooming jasmine. Longevity is around six hours, with good projection, you can smell it throughout the house. For me, it works best in winter, as in summer it can feel a bit overwhelming.
