How does it differ from the original Donna Born in Roma?

The original opens bright and fruity with blackcurrant; this one leads with smoky Lapsang Souchong tea and reads greener and drier before settling into jasmine and vanilla.

Is the tea note strong?

Yes. Lapsang Souchong is the top note and gives a smoky, slightly bitter opening that lasts into the heart before vanilla softens it.

Is it a safe blind buy?

No. The smoky tea is polarizing and ratings are moderate, so try it on skin first if you can.

When is it best worn?

The smoky, warm profile suits evenings and cooler weather better than hot days.

What notes are in it?

Lapsang Souchong tea at the top, jasmine in the middle and vanilla in the base.

Our take on the Valentino Donna Born in Roma Green Stravaganza EDP Spray

A women's eau de parfum from Valentino's Born in Roma line, built on smoky Lapsang Souchong tea, jasmine and vanilla. It is the green, tea-forward flanker to the original Donna Born in Roma, so it trades that scent's bright blackcurrant and jasmine opening for a drier, smokier start. The tea note makes it more unusual than most sweet designer florals, which suits shoppers who want something less common but still warm and wearable. Ratings sit around 3.7 out of 5, so reception is decent rather than glowing.
