Fruity floral with a twist

I must admit I first thought Donna was another trendy sweet fruity floral fragrance. A tangy blackcurrant meets a creamy jasmine on a comforting wood and vanilla base…If this description sounds nice to you, you’ll love Donna at fist sniff. If you’re expecting more than this, you’ll just have to let the fragrance reveal its deepest secrets : a shower of pink pepper glitter rains on the creamy flowers, making them morph into a nice cup of jasmine green tea. The woody base has also a magical trick up its sleeve, it unfolds surprising soft pencil shaving notes. No wonder this long lasting contemporary accord is so popular !

Fruity vanilla

This scent opens up very fruity and bright and dries down to a very sweet and slightly woody vanilla, while still keeping that fruitiness all throughout its performance. It is one of my signature scents because it just smells so pretty and feminine but in a very fun and youthful way. It kinda smells like a more complex and refined version of Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 40 to me. It is also a huge compliment-getter and overall very crowd-pleasing.

Climax

Born In Roma is a sleeper fragrance. It opens uninterestingly, with a bland haze of fruity aroma chemicals; followed by prickly jasmine. I have yet to identify when this occurs, but at some point in route to the final phase there is a beautiful transformation. Now, for the "why". The bourbon vanilla really takes time to warm up on the skin before it's noticed, as it is temporarily overshadowed by cashmeran. The jasmine tea accord in combination with the base notes create this effect that in time, makes Born In Roma very attractive. Many fragrances are surrounded by hype and don't deserve the attention they receive, but I do enjoy this on a woman. Born In Roma is a movie with a monotonous start and a climax that leaves you with something to talk about.

Woody, sweet, fruity and vanilla.

In the opening the soft spicy top notes comes trough and stays for some time, but it gets softer and the jasmine shines. In the dry down and becomes more woody with vanilla and fruit.
It’s lovely sweet and delicious smelling, not gourmand but still sooooo delicious.
And the bottle is just
It has great lasting power and the sillage is really good. It reminds me a bit of Si Passione but much stronger.
I really REALLY love it.

crowd pleaser

The original Donna Born in Roma is a feminine crowd pleaser - and I'm in the crowd, but not wowed or amazed. I actually smelled Coral Fantasy first and fell in love, but then got a Sephora sampler with a voucher for the travel size and chose a different option from the set instead! On the whole, DBIR and its flankers are most delicious in the summer. The warmth of the season brings out the best qualities and sillage of this fragrance. It stays fresh, fruity, and doesn't overwhelm. I've gotten plenty of compliments when wearing my little sample out in the summer. However, in the winter, it seems blah, boring, dull. If you like BR540 or Ariana Grande Cloud, on my skin, this fragrance is a juicier, less sweet version that translates better to multiple occasions for most people, but it doesn't wow me enough. I'd happily collect travel sizes of DBIR and the flankers I've tried so far (except the newest... that smelled horrible to me and so strong!), but I think none of them are large-bottle worthy.
