Donna Born In Roma Intense Eau de Parfum By Valentino

Donna Born In Roma Intense Eau de Parfum is an amber, floral, gourmand Eau de Parfum for women, released by Valentino in 2023. It was created by perfumers Amandine Clerc-Marie and Honorine Blanc.

It opens with vanilla, the bright note you notice in the first minutes after spraying. As it settles, the heart brings jasmine. The dry-down rests on benzoin, the note that stays closest to the skin for the longest.

As an Eau de Parfum, it has a higher concentration of perfume oils than an Eau de Toilette.

Fragrance notes unfold in three stages, from the first spray to the final dry-down.

• Top notes (first impression): Vanilla
• Heart notes (as it settles): Jasmine
• Base notes (the dry-down): Benzoin

How each note comes through can vary with your skin, the weather and how much you apply.

Donna Born In Roma Intense Eau de Parfum belongs to the Amber, Floral and Gourmand fragrance families.

• Amber fragrances are warm and rich, often built on resins, vanilla and spices.
• Floral fragrances are built around flowers such as rose, jasmine, iris or orange blossom.
• Gourmand fragrances have edible, dessert-like notes such as vanilla, caramel, chocolate or tonka bean.

If you already enjoy fragrances from the same families, there's a good chance this one will suit you too.

Donna Born In Roma Intense Eau de Parfum is a women's fragrance.

Fragrance is personal, and plenty of people wear scents outside their labelled category. If the notes appeal to you, it's worth wearing whoever you are.

Donna Born In Roma Intense Eau de Parfum is best suited to autumn and winter, and suits evenings out and special occasions. Richer, warmer scents like this tend to come alive in cooler air, while summer heat can make them feel heavy.

For the best result, apply to pulse points such as the neck, wrists and inner elbows after showering, when your skin is clean and moisturised. Let it dry naturally rather than rubbing your wrists together.

Store your perfume somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from direct sunlight and heat. Light, heat and humidity break down fragrance oils over time and can change how a scent smells.

• Keep the bottle in its original box when you're not wearing it.
• Avoid the bathroom, where heat and steam from the shower change every day. A bedroom drawer or wardrobe is a better spot.
• Keep the cap on to limit air exposure.
• Never leave fragrance in a hot car, especially over an Australian summer.
• Fragrances are flammable, so keep them away from flames and heat sources, and out of reach of children.

Good storage helps your fragrance keep its original character for longer.
