Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Donna - Eau de Parfum

Gorgeous perfume

Smells amazing, will be perfect for my holiday. Long lasting, wish this was full size so I had more for right now but will definitely be going out and buying a bottle of this perfume

Perfect fragrance

Valentino Donna Born in Roma Eau de Parfum (the purple-toned version often refers to the more intense, evening-style vibe) is a bold, feminine fragrance that feels both modern and luxurious. It opens with a sweet burst of blackcurrant and bergamot, quickly settling into a rich floral heart of jasmine that adds elegance and depth. What makes it stand out is the warm, slightly creamy base of vanilla and woods, giving it that addictive, long-lasting finish. It’s the kind of scent that turns heads—perfect for nights out or when you want to feel confident and put-together. The bottle is just as striking, with its iconic studded design and deep purple hue adding a touch of glamour. Overall, it’s a sensual, sophisticated perfume that balances sweetness with depth beautifully.

Lovely, sweet and warm

Ive tried quite a few Valentino perfumes before, and this one definitely stands out. Its a really nice mix of sweet and slightly warm/floral without being too overpowering. The scent feels quite grown-up and lasts throughout the day, which i always look for. I only needed a couple of sprays and could still smell it hours later. Its one of those perfumes that feels a bit more "special occasion" but you could still wear it day to day.

Not what I hoped…

While this new flanker isn’t bad, it certainly isn’t what I was hoping for with a plum note. To my nose, it came across more medicinal on paper and on skin, which made it difficult to find wearable. It is certainly not the worst fragrance, but it is not my preferred Born in Roma flanker.

How can they mess up such a lovely line?!

This perfume is NOT good! Its very medicinal & overpowering. The worst of the range imo.

Great floral perfume

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Amazing sweet and floral scent perfect for any occasion day or night. Not overwhelming scent for someone who doesn’t like floral. Great notes of lavender and sweet undertones.

Good fragrance

I received for test in sample size. Very strong and long lasting fragrance, I really enjoyed it I would buy a full size bottle in the future. Unfortunately it wasn't a full bottle,so I can't say anything about the bottle.

Good

The aroma is rich, but it’s not my favorite, I’ll still use it for certain occasions, I would buy it again I don’t know, but the packaging is super nice and its duration is magnificent

It’s ok

It’s more subtle then most Valentino smells was hopeing for a more fruity muskier smell.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This perfume has a beautiful modern scent that strikes between being very fruity yet still light. It also has great longevity and pair as well with other senses without being too overpowering definitely a staple option.

must buy!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] oh this smells luxurious! i have worn this perfume 3 times while out on the town and every time someone has stopped me to tell me how good i smell. i love the different scent profiles in this fragrance. even the bottle is very unique, perfect for a gift!

A must have for those that love sweet scents!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This perfume is super strong and smells sweet. It smells like sweet plum, soft florals and vanilla. It’s truly long lasting and I got several compliments on it. The packaging is also so so beautiful and sturdy!
