CreamyWhat does Valentino Donna Born In Roma Intense smell like?
It opens with Bourbon vanilla, blackcurrant and bergamot: the vanilla brings sweetness, the blackcurrant adds a fruity brightness, and the bergamot lifts both slightly. Jasmine carries the floral heart, and benzoin closes the base with a powdery, creamy warmth.
Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. It is picked most for autumn and winter, then spring, and is seen as suiting nights out and evenings best. More than half of voters call it feminine, while some describe it as modern. Mancera Black Vanilla and Burberry Her Intense have a close profile.
