How does it differ from the original Born In Roma?

It is sweeter and heavier, led by bourbon vanilla, amber and benzoin instead of the original's brighter floral opening. Expect a warmer, more evening-oriented scent.

How long does it last?

Most wearers report several hours on skin and longer on clothing, with a few sprays enough for an evening.

Is it good for warm weather?

It is dense and sweet, so most wearers prefer it in cool weather or at night. In heat it can feel heavy.

It is marketed as a women's fragrance, but the vanilla-amber profile appeals to anyone who likes sweet orientals.

What notes will I notice most?

Vanilla and amber dominate from the start, jasmine softens the middle, and benzoin leaves a resinous finish.

Our take on the Valentino Donna Born In Roma Intense EDP Spray

Valentino Donna Born In Roma Intense is a 2023 amber floral eau de parfum built on bourbon vanilla and amber, with jasmine at the heart and benzoin in the base. It is the richer, sweeter flanker to the original Born In Roma, trading some of the fresh floral brightness for a warm, resinous vanilla. It suits evening wear and cool weather better than daytime summer use. Reviewers are split: many love the depth and longevity, while others find it too sweet or heavy and rate it below the original.

Pros

Warm vanilla-amber opening that reads rich rather than sugary
Jasmine keeps the sweetness from going flat
Benzoin base gives a resinous, long-lasting drydown
Strong projection for an eau de parfum
Distinct enough from the original to justify owning both

Too sweet and heavy for some wearers
Can feel overpowering in warm weather or small rooms
Sits close to other vanilla-amber designer releases
Some find the opening sharp before it settles
