Why Trust ByrdieĬaitlyn Martyn is a commerce writer on staff at Byrdie. The Valentino Donna Born in Roma is considered one of the best long-lasting perfumes with extraordinary silage. As perfumer Pia Long previously told Byrdie, “The easiest way to layer fragrances is to find a fairly unfussy fragrance that is already built around musk (or has base notes like vanilla), and then add something with more complexity on top.” We recommend starting with a less intense scent first and then adding a stronger fragrance on top. When trying to decide which notes to pair together, keep in mind that warm, musky scents work well when placed underneath brighter, more citrus-y fragrances. Layering (or adding fragrances on top of one another) can increase the longevity of your perfume and also give you a unique signature scent. Whichever one you choose depends on how much you want to spend and how often you’ll use it. Additionally, there are two other sizes to choose from, either 1.0 oz or 1.7 oz, which are the average standard size you’d expect from a fragrance. On the other hand, if you just want to try one out or don’t want to commit to just one fragrance, you can’t go wrong with the 0.33 oz travel size tube. ![]() If you’re willing to spend a little more and plan on using the perfume daily, you might be better off with the largest size, 3.4 oz. ![]() It ultimately doesn’t matter which size you choose, it solely depends on your budget and lifestyle. Valentino fragrances are available in a number of different sizes. And, finally, base notes are the densest and are typically the most intense part of a fragrance-they make perfumes more complex and are the layer of warmth that lingers, even after everything else has dried down. Once the top notes recede over time, the middle notes make up most of the aroma. Middle notes are often referred to as heart notes, since they are the foundation of the perfume. Top notes usually have citrus elements (for example, bergamot and orange in Yellow Dream) or floral elements (like gardenia in Voce Viva), as well as light fruits and fresh herbs. These notes are the initial scents that lure you in, essentially forming your first impression of the fragrance. When trying to decide between perfumes, pay close attention to the top notes. What to Look for When Buying Valentino PerfumeĮach of the Valentino perfumes is similar (they are from the same fashion house, after all), yet each has a distinct fragrance profile. The classic Donna Born in Roma and the newest iteration, Donna Born in Roma Intensa, are among the most popular because of their sensual and inviting top notes and the fact that they both last for hours. Key Notes: Vanilla, Jasmine, Amber, Bergamot, Black currant, Benzoin Final VerdictĮach of the Valentino perfumes is unique and beautiful in their own ways. This fragrance is potent, so a little bit goes a long way-no wonder they call it intense. After about an hour, you can expect the spotlight to be on heart notes of bergamot and black currant as well as base notes of benzoin (which is sweet and smooth like vanilla). Top notes of vanilla, amber, and jasmine shine through on first spritz, but then mellow out. The perfume is heavier, spicier, and a bit more powdery than the rest, making it ideal for wintery nights and cozy vibes. ![]() Born in Roma Intense, the latest drop from the brand, is the warmest fragrance of them all. ![]()
