Born in Roma the Gold Donna

As a lover of tropical scents, this is such a gem. I was so surprised by Valentino, but they know how to make femininity happen. All summer I was looking for beautiful tropical coconut scents and I just found this one now. Knowing its limited edition, I’d regret not buying. A lot. A very exciting fruity sweet, yet such an elegant and succulent white floral. For those inspired by heavenly tropics. I love bold, fruity combos. This fragrance is exactly that due to the sweet and solar notes. The high quality of the solar notes are incredible. I definitely get lactonic notes as well, which combined with the fruity floral notes, smells luxurious and addictive. The gold is so pretty and represents the perfume's essence perfectly. I was surprised at how short the ingredient list is, because it’s so vibrant. I thought it might have a light mango note. I tried this on myself several times to put it to the test before buying, and I’m so lucky it stays true to its beauty from start to finish. I only buy perfumes if they’re long lasting and good quality. This was so long lasting! I smelled it on me well into the next day. It was so pleasant every time. And my fiancée loves this on me as well. ☺️

Ohhh, this Gold version of Donna Born in Roma is truly delightful. It’s a creamy, smooth, soft coconut based perfume with a touch of citrus and a white floral heart. Nothing new under the sun, but it does smells great. It has that alluring, addictive smell that I love in perfume for summer months. It makes me want to add it to my collection even though I have at least several other fragrances that smell very much alike. Most similar from what I have in my collection is Lust for Sun by JHAG. But I have a weakness for this type of scents.. The price is not too bad and the performance is good on this one but I am waiting for it to go on some sort of a sale. I am not going to lie, I want really badly a 50 ml bottle of this. It’s freaking delicious, and if you like a scent that features heavily a combo of gardenia/coconut, this is it! Summertime in a gorgeous, transparent, golden bottle!

I’ve waited a while to review this one, mostly because I felt like it could have potential.. it was just really disappointing at first! Much like the person below, oddly enough, I set it aside for a while and decided to give her another try recently. I am so pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it smells now. The notes have blended really well, although I can’t really smell the mandarin note. It’s definitely a coconutty/sunscreeny (in the best way) and tropical scent. Initially the performance was my biggest let down. But now I can smell her strongly in my own bubble, sillage is much more powerful, and the longevity is great overall. I’m glad I gave this another try, because it is such a lovely scent. I wish they would consider making it available all the time, versus just a limited edition.

I tested it on my scarf and wrists at the store recently. It smelled very pretty. It’s a beautiful gardenia floating in a soft cloud of coconut, and it felt delicate yet full of life. Still, I didn’t end up buying it right away and moved on with my day. The next day, when I opened my front door, I was greeted by the most stunning scent filling the entire entrance. For a moment, I wondered where it was coming from, and then I realized it was the very same scarf I had sprayed at the store. The scent was warm, inviting, and absolutely beautiful. That’s when I knew I had to go back to the store and get it. This perfume makes me so happy. It’s the perfect scent for golden summer evenings — and the longevity is no joke. I was heartbroken to hear it’s a limited edition. Love, love, love!!

I love this!!!! It’s sexy yet sophisticated. It’s alluring and attractive. It is a true perfume! It envelops the senses, dances with the aura and leaves a trail of beauty everywhere she goes. The notes are so well blended I can’t even pin point which one is which or where- that to me is a good jazz perfume! When you can’t distinguish the notes cuz it’s so well blended and the notes dance together flawlessly- I didn’t always feel this way- I e been trying Gold since winter and she’s been nothing but a quiet blah 😒 until now!!! Apparently this is her season- a warm end of summer day! It’s around 72 degrees and we’re coming out of a couple weeks of it being in the 40’s and 50’s- and now Gold is shining and doing her thing! I’m about to get fresh and douse myself in this! I love this!
