CreamyWhat does Valentino Donna Born in Roma Ivory smell like?
Green mandarin orange and orange blossom open bright and fresh. In the heart, marshmallow softens the scent and brings out a gourmand sweetness. Musk and Bourbon vanilla form the base, where the creamy and powdery side of the accords takes over.
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and reads feminine. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Heart of Rome: Ivory and H&M Chic Socialite.
