Valentino Born in Roma

"Born in Roma Donna is a modern haute couture floriental. A couture fragrance made of 3 jasmine flowers and accords blended with Bourbon vanilla, one of the most expensive ingredients in modern perfumery. This is twisted with a cool facet of pink pepper and a woody overdose, giving this couture feminine fragrance a modern edge. A self-celebration of my roots, my values and my personality. The bottle is designed with the iconic Valentino stud, inspired by Roman architecture, which is the signature of Valentino Couture." --valentino.com
