VALENTINO DONNA BORN IN ROMA PURPLE MELANCHOLIA

A beautiful, serene melancholy—the kind that suits long autumn evenings. The fragrance opens with the sweetness of juicy plums, then glides into velvety florals that carry a hint of mystery. The femininity here is both dreamy and confident; it doesn’t demand attention, yet it commands it. A warm sensation, like a shawl draped over the shoulders on a cold night. There is nothing loud or contrived about it; every element is meticulously calculated. A fragrance worn to suit one’s mood rather than for a specific occasion.

A quintessentially feminine fragrance. It belongs to the warm floral fragrance family with a mysterious fruity character. Its personality is both bold and dreamy, leaning toward the night and cooler atmospheres. It is perfect for evening outings, nighttime events, and long dinners. Fall and winter are its seasons, when the humidity brings out the full potential of its fruity and floral notes. It has excellent longevity and a noticeable sillage that lingers on the skin and clothing.

Top Notes

The opening unfolds with a juicy, golden-hued mirabelle plum accord. This fruity note offers a bright and appetizing start that breaks any monotony. Its sweetness is ripe, almost like jam, yet it remains fresh and not cloying. The opening tempts you to take a second sniff before it transforms into something entirely different.

The Heart of the Fragrance

The heart reveals a bouquet of osmanthus and absolute jasmine in a velvety blend. The osmanthus carries a light, leathery apricot note, while the jasmine spreads its whiteness over it. This floral blend adds a magnetic allure to the heart of the composition. Here, the fragrance transforms from a playful fruitiness to a mature, well-defined floral.

Base Note

The base note rests on rich, warm Madagascar vanilla with a creamy texture. It leaves a sensual trail on the skin that lingers for hours after application. Its sweetness here is soft and balanced, never overpowering the floral notes that came before it. A soft finish that invites you to get closer rather than announcing itself from afar.

Who is this fragrance for?

For those looking for a warm evening fragrance that blends fruit, flowers, and vanilla into a single scent. Spray it on your pulse points and the ends of your hair right before heading out. A spritz on your coat will ensure the scent lasts all evening without needing a touch-up. It makes a perfect gift for a woman who loves sensual, romantic fragrances.
