Happy to have tried it
FOMO got the absolute best of me and made me buy this now discontinued fragrance. I sniffed it once when I was in Ulta, forgot about it, and then sprung to buy a bottle when it popped up for sale.

My first impressions of this more recent iteration of Valentino Born In Roma is that the bottle is cute AF. I actually love the translucent hot pink. Now as for the scent, it’s one that isn’t going to move continents or shatter the ground. It’s a very *basic* citrus-vanilla scent that has the underlying BIR DNA. As an avid lover of orange blossom and vanilla combos, I knew I was going to enjoy this scent. I don’t have any major qualms with it besides it’s a bit boring. It’s not challenging at all (which is fine), but as I’m trying to curate my collection, I don’t need a bajillion of these types of “safe” scents. And if I’m being 100% honest, I think this flanker was made for the girlies that didn’t like the original BIR (which I actually like more than this.)

As for the performance, it’s actually pretty good. Lasted on my skin throughout my entire shift (7-8 hours+) and the sillage was moderate for about half that time. I did however have to overspray this one, which I never had to do with the OG BIR. It’s a nice everyday scent for a super girly girl, but not so much for me, so I’m going to be catch & releasing my bottle.

Valentino Donna Born In Roma Pink PP
Names of fragrances usually never bother me but I find it weird they didn't put a ' . ' between the PP since their initials.

Anyways about the bottle, this looked so much prettier in the advertisement. In the advertisement it was a matte cool toned hot pink. The actualy bottle is a transparent warm toned hot pink. Still pretty but definitely not as pretty as advertised.

The scent smells just like a weaker DBIR. Definitely not worth it when DBIR is way stronger. This had a hint more of vanilla then then the original Valentino Donna Born In Roma Eau de Parfum but other then that this is just a toned down weaker version.

Why the Past Cannot Be Reproduced Exactly. Two Examples
My husband and I love Star Trek. When we met, he brought this passion with him. Since we both have nerdy traits, I also took a liking to the Federation, Kirk and Picard, Janeway and much more. Right now, we are watching Discovery. Season by season. A series with spectacular effects that utilizes all the technology that is possible today. In Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos sound. It's a lot of fun. Definitely. However, it is supposed to take place around the same time as Captain Kirk's Enterprise from the seventies. And here, I really can't make a connection anymore. Everything is too far removed from the rather simply constructed technical possibilities of that time.

I observe the same more and more in the world of perfume. I was tantalized by the new Valentino Donna Born in Roma Pink PP. As much as the bottle in its screaming pink repels me, I was equally drawn to the comparison with the vintage Classique. A great fragrance love from my youth. Safanad by Parfums de Marly comes close, but it doesn't quite reach it. It is a bit sharper with its jasmine, and that's exactly what I don't always like. So here is the hope for a new fragrance love. Since I was only interested in the scent, I would have almost disregarded the pink bottle. But it turned out differently.

Already when unpacking the sharing post from the lovely Diana970411, I smelled it. Fruity notes. Penetrating. Like gummy bears. And when I sprayed it this morning, my first impression was unfortunately confirmed. No orange blossom, no bourbon vanilla, but just another ethyl maltol bomb. Very penetrating, very demanding, very clingy. No, this is not my world. For this reason, I also had to sort out Meringa by Profumum Roma.

Although the pink Valentino is supposed to remind one of the nineties and Classique with its very special, up-to-date style, it has as little in common with it as Star Trek Discovery does with Next Generation or Voyager. And unlike Star Trek, where every new series eventually grabbed me with its characters, with ethyl maltol in this concentration, unfortunately, I find that, no matter how well thought out and made, I just can't connect with such compositions anymore.

In the nineties, there were already fragrances with this scent ingredient; Angel and Wish were probably two of the most prominent representatives, but not in abundance yet. Classique was certainly no wallflower and also sweet, but this fragrance was always very clearly a floral scent for me and not a gourmand. I would have never associated it with gummy bears, which unfortunately I do once again here. The base note of the pink Valentino is indeed quite nice and feels more perfumey and less edible again, but the wearer has to show patience before getting there.

What a pity. But I had almost suspected that this one would also be very sweet. For this reason, I am unfortunately finding it hard to discover anything in the designer segment anymore. But it will have its fans. I am sure of that. Sweet, loud, and sugary should, however, be among the favored attributes.

A big thank you to Diana970411 for the sharing.

Disco Fever

You're wondering how I came up with the title?
Well, the scent smells just like my youth.
Especially the time when I was ready to go out and absorbed all the smells and lights of the new world that was revealing itself to me, like a sponge.
The new Donna smells of disco, of extravagant nights - infused with a lot of sweetness and, above all, alcohol. Vodka and Red Bull Peach and such things.

The fragrance is packed with the sweetness of vanilla and a lot of cream, along with a strong presence of orange blossom, and a powerful emphasis on peach. It actually reminds me of Classique by JPG. The scent itself is not bad and it conveys that certain something that embodies youthfulness and sweetness, but for me personally, it’s just too loud and far too heavy. Unfortunately, I also don’t like the bottle, as I absolutely do not prefer loud colors. It has a plastic impression, but maybe that was chosen on purpose since some are currently in a real barber frenzy. By the way - the scent would suit Barbie well.

But for those who want to trigger the disco fever within themselves and also reflect on their youthful years, this is the perfect choice. The scent is not too difficult to wear, there are no jumps at all. It is straightforwardly sweet and creamy. Nicely powdered, the peachy little bottom, with the powder layer lasting quite a while and the fragrance also having a filling sillage.

Zesty O-flower and warm vanilla notes come together to create a dreamy scent, with great sillage! Please Barbie, pink up my life!

Orange blossom with vanilla - I’m 16 again wearing Classique Eau de Toilette ALSO BEFORE the reformulation (!!).

Chemical fruits rolled in vanilla sugar meet a sugary sweet teenage girl. I crave those big, colorful, round gumballs...

Wow. The bottle says squeaky + kitschy... but: beautiful, warm blossom-vanilla scent. Creamy & feminine. Very nice.

Sunny, warm mandarin citrus with beautiful orange blossoms on a soft, sweet-cream vanilla base. Very lovely, pleasant.

The spritzier Born in Roma with a noticeable orange blossom. The opening has light bubblegum vibes. The scent is as pink as the bottle. I like it.

At first *almost* too much, too sweet. The sillage in the drydown is totally addictive. Great H/S. Hints of LDBS, DBIR, Classique, and Armani Code.

A mix of Donna and DBIR, it convinced me right away. Squeaky, sugary sweet, but not overwhelming.
