The Valentino Born In Roma women's fragrance Valentino is a great couturier who is universally recognized for his haute couture gowns and his flamboyant red color.
Valentino Garavani hails from Voghera in Italy, yet it was in France that he entered the world of haute couture by working for the greatest houses. Back in Rome, in the 1960s he opened his own haute couture house, Valentino, and success came very quickly, making him the Italian couturier that the biggest stars fought over for his refinement and modernity. In perfumery, the house of Valentino would distill the master's spirit into precious bottles, but the spirit of the Italian woman would above all be embodied in Valentino Donna and especially in this Valentino Donna Born in Roma released in 2019.
Valentino Donna Born in Roma, a modern and refined Italy in a bottle
Originally, Valentino Garavani discovered haute couture in Paris, but it was upon returning to the beautiful Italian capital that the house he would found there, Valentino, met with enormous success. It is true that the designer had talent but also the good fortune of being very close to the great Cinecittà studios, which at the time were shooting the greatest films such as Spartacus, with Liz Taylor dressed for the occasion entirely in Valentino.
As a result, the house has kept a very intimate bond with this city that saw it born and thrive, a bond first found in Valentino Donna and its sensual fruity rose accords, then in Valentino Donna Born in Roma, which plays with sun-kissed flowers to be at times electric, at times scorching.
Thus, the lovely couture fragrance Valentino Donna Born in Roma extols the Roman origins of the house of Valentino by offering a sophisticated yet sensual femininity, floral yet divinely charming.
