Juicy floral plum/ different from the og
Valentino Born in Roma Purple melancholia is a deep, juicy, fruity-floral–forward perfume where the vanilla hardly shows up. Top note: plum Middle notes: jasmine and osmanthus Base note: vanilla On the initial spray on skin, it opens with a juicy, fruity plum. As it begins to settle, it transition...

Smells like Nyquil
This smelt like Nyquil , this was horrible, and I wanted to love this, Valentino usually is a hit
Sweet and delicate blend
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Welcoming spring with this perfume couldn't have been more perfect. The blend of floral-fruity with a creamy vanilla base is a match made in heaven. I often layer my floral perfumes with my vanilla and I'm pleased to have one that already does it all. Where there are advantages, there are some drawbacks. As sweet and delicious this smells, I find it doesn't last very long in the Florida climate at all. It lasts strongly indoors for about half the day(4/5 hours, but outside I feel I can't smell it at all after only a couple hours. The bottle design is gorgeous. The vibrant purple gives the perfect feminine delicacy needed to showcase the sweetness of this Valentino line. The atomizer provides great coverage without feeling like you're wasting it. Showering in perfume is NOT the trend in 2026 and having a short and sweet atomizer is all you need.

Great addition to my collection
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This fragrance feels like a moody, romantic statement, especially with the hint of sweetness. The Valentino born in Roma intense is my signature scent, so this was a great transition to something that has a spring seasonality and still is strong in warmth!

Lovely
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is my new favorite fragrance. It smells so elegant and lasts forever. A little goes a long way! The packaging is similar to their other signature fragrances.
Lovely and elegant
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I loved the color purple and the bottle is elegant. I liked the fragrance,it feels feminine,warm and a little heavier than a typical daytime perfume. It smells classy and has a dressed up vibe that makes it more suited for evenings or cooler weather rather than everyday casual wear. It lasted well on my skin and isn't overpowering which I appreciate. Although it's beautiful and refined,it didn't completely wow me or feel unique enough to become a favorite.
