A new release full of freshness at Valentino. A major player on the international fashion scene, the Valentino house was created in Rome, in 1960, by Giancarlo Giammetti and Valentino Garavani. Then, to accompany its clothing, it decided to create fragrances as well.
The Valentino house owes its existence to Giancarlo Giammetti and Valentino Garavani, two designers who have always been very proud of their Italian origins. Today, they are no longer at the head of the house and have given way to the extravagant Pierpaolo Piccioli. Since 2016, this renowned designer has been working to modernize the image of Valentino, a mission he has carried out brilliantly so far. That said, he does not radically change the DNA of Valentino and does everything possible to preserve its typically Italian image. This is how the Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream fragrance came about. It promises a scented image of Rome: a romantic golden halo, contrasting with a more urban electric fluo. The image is beautiful, but what is it really like? Here is the review.
Olfastory’s review
A promise kept by the Valentino house
Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream is a particularly ambitious juice that promises to draw inspiration from Rome and its rich history, while adding a touch of avant-garde. According to Pierpaolo Piccioli, dreams are the language of the soul. It is therefore this element of dreaming that he sought to weave into his fragrance. The image is beautiful and immediately makes one want to discover this fragrance. Now, it must be acknowledged that the challenge is brilliantly met. Like all of Valentino's creations, Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream does indeed draw on Italian heritage and culture. It thus celebrates the brand's Roman roots, while giving them a very current aesthetic vision. Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream displays a striking contrast between classic romanticism and the more street, relaxed attitude of Romans today.
A rock 'n' roll and electrifying bottle
On the bottle side, it must be said that Valentino has shown remarkable boldness. Moreover, this begins from the very first sight of its cardboard packaging. With its fluorescent yellow color, it does not go unnoticed in the women's perfumery aisle! The bottle of Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream, in turn, delivers this perfect marriage between classic art and urban modernity. On one hand, its transparent glass cube has a retro look. On the other, its opaque black cap and its label take on a more rock 'n' roll attitude! Yet, as surprising as it may seem, the whole forms an exquisite harmony, covered with the emblematic rockstuds of the Valentino house.
Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream, a feminine, couture and lively fragrance
From then on, we cannot wait to discover what this bottle holds. Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream is a fragrance composed in three stages. First colorful, it delivers a touch of Italian lemon, with airy freshness. Then, at its heart, it becomes more couture, unfolding the femininity of a luminous and blooming Damask rose. Finally, it closes with a purer sillage, like a second skin, resulting from a strong concentration of white musks.
