Born in Roma Donna Rendez-vous Ivory
Born In Roma Donna Rendez-Vous Ivory celebrates a nighttime rendezvous where light meets softness: an Eau de Parfum that juxtaposes the juicy brightness of a green mandarin with a heart of orange blossom whipped like meringue, then gives way to a Madagascar vanilla laid over a veil of musks. On skin, the opening snaps crisp, clean, almost crystalline. Very quickly, an airy sweetness unfolds — sugary but never heavy — evoking a cloud of marshmallow that softens the edges without erasing them. The base, warm and clean, rounds it all out into a comfortable halo that accompanies without overwhelming. Conceived as an ephemeral capsule of the Born In Roma saga, this limited edition wears like a couture accessory: quick gesture, immediate effect, legible signature.

Concept
Creative idea
Rendez-Vous Ivory translates the energy of a Roman night — vibrant yet polished — into a two-tone sensory palette: ivory light, vanilla shadow. The narrative plays on a clear-cut contrast between a fusing opening and a sugary tenderness, like a black suit over a white t-shirt: simple, striking, instantly legible. The bottle follows the same grammar: a monochrome statement designed to catch the light, set on the line's iconic Rockstud silhouette.
Stakes
The goal is not to reinvent Born In Roma, but to isolate one of its gestures: contrast. Here, the green citrus stretches the canvas, orange blossom brings contemporary femininity, and the marshmallow accord makes the tactile difference, like a satin lining felt without being seen. The whole aims for an easy-to-wear elegance: a legible, moderate sillage that dresses office, dinner and after-hours without changing outfits.
Pyramid at a glance
Top notes
Green mandarin: tangy brightness, spotlight effect that launches the composition with nerve and freshness.
Heart notes
Orange blossom and marshmallow accord: a white and plush duo that rounds off the edges, between luminous petal and airy meringue-like sweetness.
Base notes
Madagascar vanilla, musks: caressing warmth and cottony cleanness for an enveloping signature with a cashmere touch.
Perfumer — the nose's work
The identity of the nose or noses has not been publicly disclosed at this stage. However, a precise brief can be read: hold the Born In Roma line by betting on a modern vanilla floral, where the gourmand dimension remains airy. The choice of a green mandarin in the top illuminates the orange blossom, while vanilla and musks lay down a clean, textured base; the marshmallow accord acts as a tactile binder, offering volume without heavy sugar.
Target audience
Designed for those who love clean, contemporary florals, Donna Rendez-Vous Ivory speaks to minimalist wardrobes that know how to wear softness with confidence. By day, the green mandarin brings a luminous poise that energizes a white shirt. By night, the musky vanilla draws a cozy sillage that warms a black suit without weighing it down. Fans of layering can stretch it toward freshness with a crisp neroli, or emphasize its skin dimension with a silky musk; the marshmallow accord then acts like a cushion, softening everything it touches.
It is a frame fragrance: it structures, showcases, and lets attitude speak. A simple, sure gesture that checks the box for immediate pleasure while remaining controlled enough to accompany the pace of everyday life.
