Amber Floral
If you are a regular on my blog, you know I am not a Valentino fan. Valentino fragrances have not worked out for me so far. They are not bad but I have not found them particularly outstanding. Until now! Born in Roma made my day. It is not another floriental. It has certain elements that caught my attention.
Wood mixes with vanilla and creates a warm comfortable feeling on my skin. It is slightly peppery – just the perfect amount – to give it a sexy and mature kick. There is strong black currant in the opening which is “the note” of 2019/2020. And more importantly, it has the most beautiful creamy heart of three different types of jasmine. The perfume is simple yet has a lot to offer. It is the perfect fall scent that has almost smoky incensy character. I am head over heals that I picked it up. It is a modern sensuality in a bottle but still very wearable. It projects and sticks around for quite some time. No need to overspray either.
Born in Roma does not have to try hard to impress. It is a magical jasmine smell which somehow manages to be daring and classy at the same time.
