What does Valentino Donna Born In Roma The Gold smell like?
It opens with a bright, fruity Italian mandarin orange. At the heart, yellow gardenia brings the floral side forward, while coconut in the base settles everything onto a creamy, sweet footing. The synthetic accord gives the scent a smooth, polished feel.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, a night out and daily wear. It reads as a women's fragrance with a sweet, easygoing character. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Heart of Rome Gold and Toni Cabal White Coco.
