The story behind the bottle.
Valentino Donna Born In Roma Yellow Dream, launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, is a Floral fragrance that captures the essence of a modern Roman woman. The composition opens with a bright burst of lemon, instantly refreshing and uplifting. This citrus note gives way to a heart of rose, bringing a delicate floral sweetness. The base of white musk adds a soft, powdery warmth that grounds the scent, making it both intimate and wearable.
This fragrance is best applied lightly — one or two sprays will suffice. The lemon top note fades quickly, so it’s the powdery musk that lingers closest to the skin. It reads better in cooler temperatures and is perfect for daytime wear.
