The house of Valentino is answering our dreams for a bright and hope-filled future with their latest perfume, Donna Born in Roma Yellow Dream. Warm and embracing, optimistic and fresh, we can’t get enough of this sun-soaked scent.
Inspired by light and life, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the Italian fashion empire’s creative director captured Rome’s morning light when the sun blazes across the city drenching it in feel-good vibes. Its yellow hue alluding to this warmth, while opening notes of tart Primofiore lemon, zesty bergamot essence and sweet lychee accord breathe fresh air and new optimism onto our skin. A cool and green floral bouquet of peony, Turkish rose and rose water essence seep forward adding a sense of romance and light, before swirling into an elegant blend of intimate white musk accord, heady Madagascan vanilla and dry Virginia cedarwood. The overall effect is luxurious, sunny and smooth.
Ensconced in the Born in Roma line’s signature, heavy, studded glass, Yellow Dream is as relatable as it is coveted. Because who doesn’t want to be drenched in the historic city’s golden Mediterranean light? It does, after all, like the iconic brand, pay tribute to haute couture and street culture equally, embracing all people, all dreams. And to “dream,” adds Piccioli, “is the language of the soul.”
Valentino Donna Born in Roma Yellow Dream, $123 for 50 ml, available online and in stores at www.sephora.com.
