Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia brings a darker, dreamier mood to the Born in Roma Donna family, in a lilac-tinted version of the studded bottle. A juicy plum accord opens the scent, osmanthus and jasmine add a soft, apricot-tinged floral heart, and Madagascar vanilla gives a creamy, enveloping base. Its fruity chypre character feels romantic with a hint of mystery.
Fragrance Notes

When to Wear
Purple Melancholia suits evenings and cooler weather. Wear it to dinner dates, cocktail parties, winter weddings and late-night celebrations, or on rainy monsoon evenings when its plum and vanilla feel cosy. Apply lightly in summer. Pair it with jewel-toned gowns, a purple lehenga or a black velvet dress, and gift it to someone who enjoys distinctive, fruity scents.
