Valentino is introducing Born in Roma Donna Purple Melancholia and Born in Roma Uomo Purple Melancholia, two new limited-edition flankers of the Born in Roma line. The originals, launched in 2019, were themselves reinterpretations of Valentino Donna (2015) and Valentino Uomo (2014).Inspired by the idea of memories formed during a night in a Roman palace, the Purple Melancholia editions explore a darker, more introspective mood within the Born in Roma universe.Born in Roma Donna Purple Melancholia is a fruity chypre Eau de Parfum built around plum, osmanthus, and vanilla. The composition opens with a juicy, slightly dark fruit note, moves into a soft floral heart, and settles into a rich Madagascan vanilla base. The fragrance is presented in a bold purple bottle, reinforcing its nostalgic and nocturnal theme.Available in 30ml, 50ml, and 100ml EDP.
