Donna Born in Roma Intense
Bourbon vanilla with a honeyed warmth comes first, jasmine follows, and benzoin resin deepens the sweetness at the base.
Perfumer: Honorine Blanc, Amandine Clerc-Marie
Intense starts from the mood of a night out in Rome, the moment a celebration catches. Valentino describes it as the original Born in Roma's bold tone pushed somewhere warmer and more sensual.
Here sweetness comes first. Bourbon vanilla opens the scent with a warmth the house compares to honey, and a trio of jasmine flowers sits at the center, adding force and a fruit-like turn to the floral part.
Benzoin resin forms the base and feeds straight back into the vanilla, raising the overall density. The vanilla is introduced at the start and reinforced at the end, so the sweet thread runs through the whole wear rather than appearing only in the drydown.
