Born in Roma Donna Purple Melancholia - Eau de Parfum

Lovely long lasting scent

I tried a sample of Valentino Born In Roma Purple Donna (1.2 ml) and I was genuinely impressed. The wearability is one of the best parts for me, it feels easy to put on and instantly makes you feel put together without being too much. The scent has a really nice complexity to it, as it is not just a single sweet note, it develops as you wear it and feels more interesting over time. My first impression was that it smelled classy and modern, and I kept catching little wafts of it which made me enjoy it even more. The intensity is noticeable at first spray, but it settles into something softer and more comfortable, so it is not overpowering. Longevity was better than I expected from a sample, it lasted for hours on me and I could still smell it on my clothes later on. Overall, it feels like a fragrance you could wear day to day but also for evenings, and the sample has definitely made me consider buying the full size. One line summary: A classy, modern scent with great wearability, lovely complexity, and impressive longevity

Beautiful scent

Beautiful scent. Very feminine and sexy. It’s very floral and delicate and strong at the same time. Lasting ages on my skin. I would wear it for night out or a date night. Value is adequate to a quality.

Valentino donna

I was selected to sample this product for free from influenster and valentino in exchange for my honest review This scent is absolutely gorgeous as soon as I smelt this i was blown away, its sweet yet hides notes of plum and creamy vanilla. Its one of those scents you wear and feel delightful. It lasted for the majority of the day on my skin and I could smell it still there on my clothing later on

Fresh scent

I have been using this perfume by Valentino most days as it smells so fresh and not too overpowering. Lasts all day long and is a great everyday perfume. I would definitely buy a full size bottle of this scent in the future. Very nice scent

Nice to have

It was only a small sample to test but I think this is a very powerful perfume! Really enjoyed trying it. It lingers on for a very long time so literally one spray goes long way. The scent is sweet can’t pit my finger on it. Maybe some violets and a bit of musk? I would think this is perfect for warm summer evening. I don’t think would be my winter perfume but summer absolutely!

Not unique

Born in Roma is sweet , clean and really easy to like. Vanilla-y, a bit powdery,super wearable. Not unique,and you’ll smell it everywhere, but it’s cute, safe, and gets compliments

Creamy and sweet

I was gifted a sample of this perfume to review. I love the Valentino Born in Roma Donna line of fragrances so I was excited to try this one. At first squirt it didnt quite feel like a Born in Roma fragrance. It was a strong powdery floral scent and I didn't get much else. However, it definitely developed into something that smelt much more in line with what I expected. It has a creamy vanilla base that is a long lasting note and really stays with you throughout the day. On top is plum, which gives it a dedadent sweetness. The combination of those two notes is really alluring. And in the middle, the floral note, Osmanthus. While I found it overwhelming at first, it soon settled down to become something that complimented the whole and adds a really pretty touch. While I thought this fragrance wasn't for me at first sniff, I definitely underestimated it. It took minutes to develop into something much more complex and sensual, which is really delightful.

Powerful and bold

This is my new favourite perfume. Very long lasting scent. Powerful and bold. Have had many compliments whilst wearing this. Will have to treat myself to a bottle.

Smells nice

This perfume smells really nice. Nice size sample bottle to carry in your pocket or bag for on the go. The scent lingers all day long. You can still smell it at the end of the day.

The most ludicrous scent yet

Valentino- Born in Roma Purple is a beautiful fragrance that instantly feels both vibrant and sophisticated. The fruity notes create a bright, juicy opening that feels playful yet refined. As it settles, the floral heart emerges, adding a soft, feminine elegance that isn’t overpowering. The hint of vanilla brings a warm sweetness that perfectly balances the freshness, making it ideal for both day and evening wear. I love how long-lasting it is, with the scent gently lingering without being too heavy. It’s the perfect perfume if you enjoy a fruity, floral fragrance with a smooth vanilla finish that feels effortlessly luxurious.

Beautiful

Valentino Born In Roma Purple Donna is a beautiful and elegant fragrance that immediately captures attention with its sweet and slightly fruity aroma. Soft and feminine, it strikes a delicate balance between playful charm and refined sophistication. For me, this perfume feels ideal for everyday wear, especially during the freshness of spring or the mellow days of autumn. Its gentle projection makes it perfectly suited for work environments or casual outings with friends, offering a pleasant presence without being overwhelming.
