So here's the deal with Valentino Garavani's Born In Roma Donna EDP Intense – it's basically Rome after dark in a bottle. You know that whole vibe when the sun goes down and the city gets all warm and mysterious? Yeah, that's what they were going for here, and honestly, they nailed it.
Right off the bat, you get hit with this Vanilla Bourbon that's super rich and sweet – like, the good kind of sweet that makes you feel fancy. Then it mellows into this gorgeous Jasmine situation where they mixed three different types of jasmine flowers together, which gives it this fresh, almost fruity thing going on. And just when you think you've got it figured out, the Benzoine Resin kicks in and adds this deeper, more complex layer that plays really nicely with the vanilla. The whole thing just smells expensive and romantic.
The bottle's pretty sick too – it's got this black-to-pink gradient that looks like the Roman sky at sunset. The 100ml size is perfect, and the whole package just screams sophisticated without being stuffy. If you're looking for something that makes you feel like you're living your best life on a Roman evening – cocktails, cobblestones, the works – this is your scent.
