The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Valentino and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, Valentino Donna Born in Roma Ivory is a limited edition fragrance that captures the spirit of Manhattan's nightlife in the 1970s. The composition opens with green mandarin for a fresh, zesty burst before transitioning into the soft sweetness of orange blossom and marshmallow. This creates an enveloping warmth that settles into musk and Madagascar vanilla, offering a rich and intimate finish. Designed to reflect inclusivity and individual expression, this Oriental Vanilla scent is both alluring and comforting.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact. The marshmallow and orange blossom notes are particularly warm, so it pairs well with evening wear. It blooms best close to skin, making it perfect for intimate settings rather than expansive spaces.
