The house of Valentino has always been very proud of its Italian origins. As such, many of its creations pay tribute to the Dolce Vita. The Born In Roma collection is no exception to this tradition. Initiated in 2019, it immerses us in the heart of this eternal city. In 2021, Valentino released a first flanker of its scent to create Born In Roma Yellow Dream. The following year, the Coral Fantasy edition made its appearance. In 2023, the story continues, and this chapter still takes place in Rome, at the very moment of dusk: Born In Roma Intense Donna.
Since joining Valentino, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the house's creative director, has continuously modernized its image. However, he has not forgotten the past heritage and the DNA of the house either. Thus, the Born In Roma collection pays tribute to the Italian city where Valentino was founded, in 1960. The 2023 feminine fragrance Born In Roma Intense Donna immerses us in the heart of the eternal city. This juice intensifies its predecessors and wraps itself in a new, particularly smooth aura. Discover this composition, created by perfumers Amandine Clerc-Marie and Honorine Blanc.
