Donna Born in Roma Yellow Dream Notes & Review

A three-note 2021 edition in Valentino's Born in Roma Donna line: lemon, rose and white musk. Musky and citrus accords lead nearly level, with rose close behind and a soft powdery finish, giving a clean, bright profile. The 2022 Coral Fantasy extended the same colour-named series. A summer and spring daytime scent.
