Details & care
What it is: A limited-edition fragrance inspired by the vibrant color of gold, with solar and warm notes.
Fragrance story: The sparkling luminosity of Italian mandarin essence is clashed by the sensuality of a golden gardenia accord. Inspired by a summer in Rome, when golden warmth sets the eternal city alight. Born in Roma rewrites its signature in gold profusion: a radiant blend of Italian mandarin essence and golden gardenia accord, infused with a solar cocoa accord. The bottle pays tribute to the iconic Valentino Rockstud. This edgy pyramidal design, inspired by Roman architecture, is a house signature of Maison Valentino. Part of Valentino's fashion iconography and a symbol of Roma where it embellishes the city's doors and walls, the Rockstud is a transformative symbol, taking a bag or a shoe from classic to current.
Style: Fruity floral.
Notes:
- Top: Italian mandarin essence
- Middle: golden gardenia accord
- Base: solar cocoa accord
- 3.4 oz.
- Made in France
- Item #10485306

Valentino
When considering legendary Italian fashion house Valentino, three words come to mind: luxurious, bold and iconic. For more than 50 years, Valentino has been a cornerstone of the international fashion scene, creating evocative fragrances, statement-making ready-to-wear, and signature shoes and handbags (under the Valentino Garavani label) with haute couture craftsmanship.

GOLDEN DIAMONDS
I’ve been seeing this on Sephora’s website for sometime and wanted to try in-store. While shopping in-store at Nordy’s for the original the sales associate broke this out. I said Ouuu can I please try that? She happily abliged and sprayed me down as I requested, I was not disappointed! This one has more of a citrus beginning but also the original along for the ride if you can imagine. It settles nice and warm. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous! She was also wearing the men’s version of this and that smelled absolutely delicious! I wear men’s cologne so I was happily intrigued. I will be adding both the women’s and men’s to my collection. Valentino Donna Roma collection always seems to surprise me. I’ll always be indebted to the original but this is a great contender! 🌟

Not my style
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is extremely beautiful and luxurious. The wear time on it is excellent. It's is a very strong fragrance, so less is more. The overall quality of this product is well.worth the money. Personally, I do not smell any coconut, just straight-up gardenia. Think, alien goddess but with gardenia instead of Jasmine. I personally gravitate towards light fresh florals. This was a heavy, mature floral.

Hi amazingstaysi! Valentino Donna Born in Roma The Gold absolutely captivating, even if it wasn't quite your personal cup of tea! It's clearly a statement piece with its luxurious presentation and powerful, long-lasting aroma. Your description paints a vivid picture: a beautiful bottle housing a bold, heady gardenia fragrance with impressive staying power. It's fascinating how your nose detected no coconut, even as a supporting note. Our individual perceptions of scent are truly remarkable. We hope you continue exploring our fragrances in the future and find a scent you fully love!

Tropical Paradise in a Bottle!
Upon first spray you get that instant whiff of coconut! It’s sweet and milky with a hint of floral. It’s a gorgeous tropical scent perfect for the warmer months! Its lasting power was about 4-6 hours on skin! It layers well with other vanillas as well. My favorite!!!

Very nice fragrance
To begin with just look at this stunning bottle. The packaging is like jewelry for the countertop. The intensity of this fragrance is amazing. The spray projection is exactly where I like it to be. And it dries quickly on my skin.

Great blended mix of aroma
Chic, dainty ladylike white floral with bright citrus note and perfectly balanced with hint of musk. It is really a well-blended perfume . It feels so sweet, fresh and last long. Packaging is so elegant which make it the most chic gift ever. Very ideal for beach and hot weather more than worm.
