Generic and perfumey in the best possible way
People often say the original Born in Roma is a good inoffensive everyday perfume, but I never understood it. To me it's just scratchy, with undertones of a typical male cologne.
This one on the other hand fits my taste just right, it's like a perfected version of the same concept.

All the scratchiness is gone and only the good, feminine parts of the Born in Roma DNA are left. This is a bit more intense, but not in a suffocating way. The main note is a creamy vanilla with clean white floral backbone. Juicy and sweet accents of blackcurrant and rum complete the picture. Just like the listed notes say. It might not be the most special fragrance on earth, but I can't really think of something that smells the same.
The bright pink color of the bottle is very fitting, as it is an ultra girly and uplifting scent.

Let's face it, the most important question about a perfume is: Does it smell good? Do I want to smell like it? If it's super original and innovative, but doesn't fulfill this basic requirement, it doesn't even matter. Born in Roma Extradose doesn't go far beyond the basic, but it does them so well I don't mind.
It's honestly almost a bit confusing to me why exactly I like this so much. I guess sometimes something completely normal hits just right. Like your favorite bar of chocolate from the supermarket or a simple 10€ t-shirt that fits you perfectly and becomes a trusted staple until it falls apart.

A new favourite!
Initially I tested this and felt it was too close to the OG to justify buying it. A week of testing has passed and the scent is better balanced now it’s recovered from shipping.

This is an eye rolling scent for me. I absolutely had to add this to my collection! I can’t get enough of it. I love the OG, but I can find the florals in it overpowering at times. Extradose is just a divine, boozy blackcurrant and vanilla. The lasting power is amazing, it projects really well and the scent is so comforting, addictive, intoxicating and indulgent! I can’t stop smelling this. It’s now one of my favourite scents!

I just wish I’d tested and bought this before buying a full bottle of Pink PP, as for whatever reason i now can’t tolerate mandarin notes. For me the OG and Extradose are the two best Donna’s!

My favourite flanker of the brand
This one might be the best in their collection, my second favourite from them was the gold one but sadly, it was a limited edition.

Extra Dose is a very vanilla and boozy forward fragrance, the boozyness adds that extra sweetness, it's so creamy as well and so addictive.

I had it as a sample and it will for sure be, my FIRST born in roma fragrance.

The other ones smelled indeed good, but never to the point of buying a full bottle, this one is such an exception ! incredible, couldn't stop smelling my wrist because it is THAT GOOD.

Not redundant
I'll preface by saying I have and adore the main DBIR. I don't find the opening or drydown of Extradose to be redundant at all. I can definitely see that it's a flanker, but it's different enough to have both, especially if you really love the original.
The rum is really noticable at first but this dries down to be really sweet and feminine, almost creamy. To me, it feels like that particular sweetness you get in the drydown of the original is amped up to the max in this one. It also lasts really well. It's one of those perfumes that seem to reactivate again once you step in the shower at the end of the day, or the next morning.
Also, I figured I would mentioned this - and I'm not saying they're dupes AT ALL, but I was detecting something really familiar at one point during the day and it finally hit me that this *tiny* little bit I'm sensing reminded me of Ralph HOT. Just the tiniest bit. They don't have any of the same notes so I'm not sure why I was smelling that.
Anyway, this is a love for me.

Not Bad But Not Special
This came in a tester kit from Sephora, which is pretty much the only reason I'm trying it. I wasn't a huge fan of the original Valentino Donna Born In Roma Eau de Parfum but pretty much every kit has either that or a flanker. I have to say I do like this more than the original but not by a whole lot because it does smell pretty similar to that and so many other fragrances. It just kinda smells generic to me. The jasmine is pretty forward in this and it's the kind that I'm not crazy about but I do like the boozy sweetness from the rum and citrus.

Black currant: somewhat synthetic but nice.
Warm, creamy vanilla: delicious.
The Extradose stole my heart.

Tested twice. Starts of sweet and fruity, then leans masculine and smells a lot like rum.

The opening makes me think of coconuts or piña coladas. After a while it turns into a generic vanilla, for which the price is too high imo.

Almost too much Vanilla. But I guess that’s why it’s called “Extradose”.

DBIR DNA is very much present, but this is the nightclub version. Boozy, deep, full-bodied. Also a bit creamy, like a RumChata.
