... Read moreOh my goodness, fellow fragrance lovers, have you heard the news?! Valentino is dropping two new additions to their iconic Born in Roma collection, and I am absolutely buzzing with anticipation! The names alone – Born in Roma Donna Purple Melancholia and Born in Roma Uomo Purple Melancholia – already sound so intriguing and luxurious, perfectly fitting the VALENTINO brand. The Born in Roma line has always held a special place in my heart for its vibrant, modern takes on classic scents, and these 'Purple Melancholia' editions promise to be no different. I'm always on the lookout for the 'latest' perfume releases, and these have definitely jumped to the top of my must-try list! Let's talk about the Donna version first. For women, it's described as floral and fruity, which is a fantastic start. But then you look at the notes: a top note of rich plum, a heart of exotic osmanthus blossom and a surprising leather accord, all resting on a warm vanilla base. Plum is such a luscious, dark fruit note that often adds a sophisticated sweetness. Osmanthus, on the other hand, can be peachy, apricot-like, and slightly floral – a truly unique touch. And leather? That's where it gets really interesting for me! A leather accord can add a sensual, slightly edgy depth that prevents a fruity floral from being too juvenile. Combined with vanilla, I imagine this will be a beautifully complex, alluring scent – perfect for an evening out or when you want to feel truly special. I'm already envisioning a dark, juicy, and creamy scent with a sophisticated kick. Now, for the men's fragrance, Born in Roma Uomo Purple Melancholia. This one is categorized as oriental and aromatic, which immediately suggests warmth and spice. The top note is cardamom, a spice I absolutely adore in perfumery for its warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic qualities. The heart features lavandin, a type of lavender that often has a slightly more herbaceous and less sweet profile than traditional lavender, giving it a very refined, clean feel. And the base notes? Amberwood, coconut, and amber. This combination sounds absolutely divine! Amberwood will provide a modern, woody warmth, while coconut could add an unexpected, creamy, slightly tropical sweetness without making it feel like a beach scent. Amber, of course, ties it all together with its signature warmth and resinous depth. I'm picturing a smooth, spicy, and subtly creamy scent that feels both masculine and inviting. This could easily become a new go-to for many! What I love about new releases like these from VALENTINO is the anticipation. It's not just about the notes; it's about the story the fragrance tells and how it makes you feel. Will the 'Purple Melancholia' theme translate into a moodier, more introspective scent, or is it simply a color palette? Only time will tell, and I cannot wait to get my nose on both of these. They sound like perfect additions to transition from cooler evenings into warmer days, or even as signature scents. If you're a fan of the Born in Roma collection, or just looking for something fresh and exciting, keep your eyes peeled for these new gems. What are your first thoughts on these notes? Are you adding them to your list like I am? Let's discuss! #NewFragrance #PerfumeLaunch

I’m sorry but I still prefer the original. I didn’t like this

As a purple lover, I’m praying this smells amazing to my nose. I’m a tad bit afraid of that leather note but sometimes it goes over well. We’ll see! 💜😍💜😍
