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.
