Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia, launched in 2026 and crafted by Alberto Morillas, is a Floral Fruity Eau de Parfum that explores the darker side of Roman nostalgia. The composition opens with a juicy plum note, which introduces an unexpected depth to the fruity accord. This transitions into a soft floral heart of osmanthus, adding a delicate sweetness. The fragrance settles into a rich base of Madagascan vanilla, creating a warm and introspective mood that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to the pulse points. The plum top note is bright but fleeting, so it's best experienced close to the skin. The vanilla base develops slowly over time, making it ideal for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
