Review of Valentino Donna Born In Roma Pink PP by Sarah Chabal

Beautiful, sweet, citrusy, bright, vibrant, warm, floral, woody, powdery, boozy, creamy, feminine, sensual, seductive, sexy, charming, chic, elegant, classy, sophisticated, intoxicating, delightful, alluring, inviting, cozy, comforting On me this opens with a citrusy and vibrant burst of bright mandarin, some citrusy and floral orange blossom, and sensual bourbon vanilla. I still get the DBIR dna, but it’s sweeter, and has more vanilla. As it dries down the mandarin and orange blossom intertwine with the bourbon vanilla which grows warmer, deeper, smoother, and more prominent. That’s when the fragrance really begins to shine for me. Once it’s fully dried down I get mainly a really sensual, powdery, vanilla bourbon with a touch of orange blossom. I’m not a big fan of the OG DBIR, but I absolutely love this flanker! I do happen to be a huge fan of vanilla fragrances, and I also really enjoy orange blossom, so this sounded perfect for me! My only complaint is that this was a limited edition, and is very difficult to find, and pricey if you do find it. I have the DBIR Gold flanker, which is nice, but no where near as beautiful as this one. I also got the Ivory flanker, and it’s so beautiful! For me, Ivory and Pink are tied as my favorites of the line! This definitely feels feminine to me, and like it would easily suit women of any age. I think it works wonderfully throughout all of the seasons. I think it’s fitting for all occasions from casual, to work and/or school, to date nights, and fancier occasions. I get great performance with DBIR Pink PP. The longevity is very good, it lasts throughout the whole day on me. The projection is nice, it radiates out at least a couple feet from me.
