Born in Roma Donna - Eau de Parfum Intense

Everlasting

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This one has been quite challenging to review! I have some mixed feelings (it is a lovely fragrance, regardless). It is definitely not a blind buy, and I would strongly suggest you try it out first before buying because, after some tests, I've had quite different results. Valentino Donna Born in Roma Intense is a powerful and sexy fragrance starting at the top note. When it dries, it reminds me of toffee caramel; it is a heavy vanilla scent, and I can somewhat smell the white floral. The reason why I have mixed feelings is that it doesn't last particularly well on my skin. It's a bummer, and I know it has something to do with my skin chemistry. I tend to have dry skin and have been told that I exude too much body heat, and this could affect the fragrance. Taking this into consideration, I decided to spray some on someone else. This person was out from 7 AM to 5 PM on a hot, sunny day, drenched in sweat, and when they got home, the only thing I could smell from a 4ft distance was this perfume. It has both an insane sillage and duration. I additionally tried spraying it on a piece of paper. Okay, so... I sprayed it on Saturday night; it's Thursday afternoon by the time of this review, and I can still smell a hint of the woody note. For the first 3 days, it was still going strong. Nonetheless, it does cling outstandingly to my clothes. It's perfect for the cold season and nighttime wear. The bottle is modern and menacing, but a bit difficult to hold with a single hand. If you like vanilla, you should definitely try this one!

Jasmine Heaven

People bashing this must have weird PH because on me the dry down is GORGEOUS with sumptuous jasmine at the forefront. Rich & glamorous overall, a lovely departure from the Jo Malone I usually wear.

Dry down

When it dries, it legit smells like cat pee. Or when it warms up on your body. My sister said the same thing. It smells amazing when you first spray it, but do not recommend.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Smells amazing. It has a very sophisticated scent that I think is perfect for going out or for the workplace. I love the bottle design and I like to keep it on my vanity

Odd dry down on me

The dry down was funky on me. I love DBIR and all her flankers, so I thought I would love this. It was a weird, almost spoiled smell after it dried down. I returned it and restocked extradose, which I love!

The perfume smells good; the scent lasts for several hours and is sweet. If you're looking for a thoughtful gift for someone, they are sure to love it. I bought it thinking it was for men, but it is actually for women.

Valentino is THAT GIRL!

What can I say, Valentino is that girl! She quickly stole the spotlight for me, even though I been collecting perfume for years! She is stronger than the original and longevity is there like all Valentino, but extra-dose is where it’s at! I use intense to use my extra-dose sparklingly. But, not to put shame on intense. I am still a huge fan of it, as it’s my second favorite fragrance. If you buy her you won’t be disappointed or you won’t return her. She smells great, lasts a long time, and has a gorgeous bottle. I even receive compliments wearing it. Buy her.

A must have

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Exchange for my honest with you overall very nice friend wearable I love this Size. I’ve never had a Valentino the smallest really good. I got a lot of compliments and I did recommend. I will be definitely invisible. If not, Size really use a long time overdo it.

Intensely romantic

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love Valentino perfumes so I was extremely excited when I received this item. I love their packaging, it is easy to store, open and spray. The scent is romantic and a little bit sweet to me, but it is a intense scent that a little goes a long way. Anything vanilla is a must for me!! 1 or 2 sprays will last all day/night for me. Definitely recommend.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love Valentino! The smell is absolutely gorgeous. So sexy and elegant. It stays for a long time I would say. It feels great on skin, no irritation or anything. Recommended!

A Must Have Scent

I love this perfume - it's long lasting and a strong, bold sexy scent. I always get compliments and I find it very long lasting. When I run out I shall definitely replace it!

Smells amazing

Smells amazing but 3⭐️’s because of the price point and it doesn’t last very long.
