Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia, Sample
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia is an invitation to wander through memory, those fleeting moments that shape who you are and set you apart. Crafted for those who embrace life fully, the fragrance begins with a luscious chypre-fruity burst of ripe plum, rich and intoxicating. The juicy plum note is both succulent and vibrant, offering a sweet yet tart introduction that is immediately captivating. The mirabelle plum accord adds a delicate touch of golden warmth, enhancing the opening with a sense of depth and complexity.
As the fragrance unfolds, velvety osmanthus petals intertwine with the lushness of jasmine, creating a floral heart that is both opulent and refined. The osmanthus brings a soft, apricot-like aroma, its creamy texture melding seamlessly with the luminous jasmine. Together, they form a bouquet that feels both tender and daring, each note complementing the other in a dance of elegance and sensuality. This floral embrace is grounded by an indulgent vanilla extract that imparts a gentle sweetness, accentuating the floral heart without overpowering it.
The base of the fragrance reveals a comforting blend of vanilla and patchouli, where the creamy vanilla lends a smooth, warm foundation while patchouli introduces an earthy richness. This combination settles softly on the skin, lingering like a cherished recollection. Each note feels suspended in time, captured in a bottle that mirrors the elegance and permanence of the memories it holds. With every wear, Purple Melancholia awakens confidence and quiet allure. More than a fragrance, it is a signature, meant not just to be worn, but unforgettable.
