Beautiful!

Donna Born in Roma's creamier, nocturnal, denser, sweeter smelling sister! I get a very slight coconutiness in the background with a surprisingly indolic jasmine, which really really surprised me! The vanilla is a bit denser and "darker" than the original, a bit less "juvenile" if you will.

Longevity and projection are good, this gives me maybe 1 to 2 hours more than the original Donna Born in Roma, definitely a winter/fall scent as it could be a little too much in the heat with the heavy amber, vanilla, indolic jasmine combo.

I am quite happy with this flanker and I dare to say it's my favorite off the Born in Roma line! The jasmine here is absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth trying if the original wasn't quite for you or if you felt it was missing some depth.

A Sister Unalike

Before first spritz, I had high expectations of an enhanced or bolder version of the classic Donna: Born In Roma. I was taken by surprise and hit with an enormous amount of jasmine. Everyone's perception on scent differs, so I admit that I could be nose blind to the other notes in this fragrance. However, I am not nose blind to vanilla, amber or benzoin. All I can smell is a lukewarm jasmine and because of that, I was reminded more so of Gucci Bloom Profumo di Fiori. I love Born In Roma (classic) and Alien Goddess, but I cannot pull those impressions out of Born In Roma Intense. Be that as it may, this is not a terrible fragrance; just a very realistic take on jasmine. It's not until the end, you are vaguely reminded of the Born In Roma classic.

Beautiful Amber-Vanilla Cold Weather Femme Scent

This is actually the first from the Valentino DBIR line I bought. I tend to prefer the "intense" and "elixir" flankers for designers because they have more of a dark, sultry, or interesting edge and this is case is no different.

Compared to the original Donna Born in Roma EDP, the Intense version has a *much* sweeter amber-vanilla base which forms the majority of this fragrance's character. If you love vanilla and amber, I can't see you disliking this one. The jasmine adds a sweet and creamy white floral edge through the top and mid which fades to the background in the late drydown. The opening here has a juicy and fruity facet that I suspect comes from an unlisted note. It feels like juicy element I tend to get from other vanilla-base fragrances with a black currant top, so I'm guessing it's an unlisted black currant here too.

This is an incredibly sexy cooler-weather fragrance that is fantastic for fall and spring, but might struggle not to be a bit too cloying for weather warmer that cool (60F-65F max) spring days. Arguably very usable for winter or fall daytime wear, but a perfect date night scent which dries down to an alluring sweet vanillic base by the time you've finished your dinner date. This is one of the few fragrances I get consistently complimented on, which easily projects 1-2m for the first 1-2 hours before reaching moderate 1m projection for another 4-5 and dryign down to an eternal base which lasts until the next wash.

The next-day dry down has a bit of a milky creamy facet that I don't really like? But it goes away if you respray to top up the scent. Could just be my nose getting a barely-present animalic facet from the amber or jasmine though.

It's expensive for how simple it is, but it's an incredibly well done version of the DNA. They're overcharging for what's here, but I still thin a full bottle is worth it.

Way too strong!

This a very generic white floral that has been amped up. It is so strong, I could smell it a day after spraying it once! It was nauseating and migraine- inducing. I couldn't even do a skin test for it. I'm glad I got this in a sample, and did not pay for a full bottle. I would not consider this a safe blind buy. Try it first!

Love or not?

I can't quite make up my mind about this one. He is on the border of "love me" and "annoying".
I had hoped for something different under the Flanker Intense, more vanilla. However, he remains very fruity throughout the course. So sprayed on I smell actually currant and light vanilla. This also remains so for a while. Then comes for me briefly a nice vanilla to the fore. Unfortunately, this then becomes gentle again and I smell the berries again. And this scent then remains for many hours. A plus for the durability. Unfortunately, however, this berry note can then become penetrating and then sometimes annoys me. With every movement, a hint of Roma comes into my nose and if it does not just annoy me I love it somehow. Complicated :)
