Power in a bottle 💜
I’ve been lucky enough to try this perfume, and right when I opened the box, my first impression was – wow, what a bottle, the purple color really signals luxury. Really elegant, I would say!! The scent opens with a very intense and clear note of plum, which at first felt a bit heavy and strong for me, as it only took one spray. But if you give it a little time, it settles beautifully and the vanilla sneaks in and softens everything. I think it feels like a very warm and deep, sensual scent that lasts a very long time. I would say it feels like a perfume for confident women. It gives a lot of “power” in its scent and, in my opinion, works as an evening perfume when you want to feel a little extra. Not something I would use every day, as I prefer lighter perfumes then. But overall, a fantastic bottle with a mysterious and at the same time fruity scent, I really like it and will definitely use it on special occasions. The bottle will also last forever since it felt like you don’t need to use much each time you wear it❤️ #lykotestpilot #valentino #lykoreview78 views- The comment was made 15 hoursWhat beautiful flowers you matched the bottle with so perfectly.

Very heavy and mature fragrance
🙋🏼♀️About my personal perfume preferences I like fragrances that feel light and fresh, for example, nutty, citrusy, fruity and sweet perfumes. 📦 The bottle The bottle looks stylish and luxurious with some kind of "studs" on it. The deep purple color of the perfume makes it look special. The bottle is also quite heavy and sturdy, which gives it a premium feeling. Another detail I really like is that the glass is transparent enough to see how much perfume is left inside. 👃 The smell The scent was quite heavy and intense, and for me it leans toward a more mature style of perfume. The vanilla base note of the perfume was actually very pleasant and that part of the fragrance I enjoyed the most. However, the overall composition felt a bit overwhelming and extremely heavy on my skin. Instead of feeling light and fresh, I felt that the scent just got more rich, heavy and dense as time went by, which may be great for people who enjoy bold evening fragrances. But for me, it felt slightly too heavy and not as easy to wear. 🤔 My opinion This perfume comes in a beautiful bottle and with a warm vanilla base that many people might like. For those who love strong floral perfumes with bold notes, it could be a great choice. But for me personally, the scent was way too heavy and mature, and I would likely reach for something lighter and refreshing instead. #lykotestpilot #valentino361 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

The perfect mix of freshness and vanilla dream! 💜
So, when I first opened the package, my first thought was: LUXURY LUXURY LUXURY! 😍 The bottle feels so insanely exclusive and really elevates the whole experience. From the first spray and weeks ahead, I've gotten a real luxury boost every morning! ✨ The first spray is intense and takes up space immediately – something I personally love. It gives a fresh kick while having that weight you want before a night out 🖤 After a while, the vanilla starts to come through and the scent becomes softer, warmer, and more “seductive.” That's also something I really like: first fresh and lively, then floral and fresh, and finally a warm vanilla base that just sits so nicely on the skin. It really feels “extra,” and I love the intensity! I'm often drawn to scents that stand out but still feel like “me.” As a young person, you want something that feels fresh but also a bit seductive and unique. If you like leaving a feminine and captivating impression, then this is for you. After testing it for a few weeks, I can honestly say: it delivered. It lasts long, develops beautifully throughout the day, and I've actually already received compliments (!!) 🥹 100% a perfume that will be at the top of the list for all future celebrations 🖤 #lykotestpilot #valentino - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

May share opinions
I received Valentino's new Born in Roma Donna Purple Melancholia perfume from Lyko to test. I've been testing it for about 2 weeks now. First of all, I want to praise the bottle's design! It's beautiful, and the purple hue of the perfume makes it especially striking. I also like that you can easily see how much product is left in the bottle. The scent clearly stands out from the traditional, often vanilla-based Born in Roma Donna perfumes. The top note has a strong plum, which makes the scent unique and exudes confidence. The intensity of the fragrance makes it quite seductive, and in my opinion, it suits best for evening use. Additionally, the perfume lasts long on both skin and clothes 👌 As summer approaches, I usually choose lighter scents, so this might not be my top choice for the season. The plum note wasn't my personal favorite either, but the scent develops beautifully! After about an hour, a pleasant vanilla emerges. At this stage, the scent resembles more the traditional versions of the series, which I like. This is definitely a perfume worth trying, even if it might not be to everyone's taste. I guess I'll stick to fresher perfumes for now and use this one later when autumn arrives. 🍂 #lykotestpilot #valentino39 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Lovely scent – but not necessarily at first sniff
I had smelled this once when I got a sample somewhere, and I remembered that I didn’t like it, even though the original Born In Roma is one of my favorites. When I got a message from LYKO that I had won a giveaway looking for product testers, I of course decided to give this scent a new chance. The initial scent is strongly plum (which probably also explains the color 🤪), and that was almost all I smelled at first, and based on that I thought I wouldn’t like it. Luckily, I had decided to wear the scent on my skin for several days before writing the review, because only on the skin did the heart notes (fragrance oil, also plum-like) and ESPECIALLY the base note, vanilla, come into their own. 👀💜 Now I’m totally in love with this scent, and it doesn’t “hit your nose” right away when you put it on. But a tip: give it a chance to mature on your skin first, try testing it several times and keep it on your skin for several hours. This scent is, as its name suggests, melancholic, and it takes a moment to fully open up to a new acquaintance 🥹💜 #lykotestpilot #valentino272 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 4 out of 5
Nice!
I got to test this lovely Valentino fragrance. At first, this scent has a fairly strong and even masculine aroma. The scent is mature and somewhat reminds me of an "old lady's" fragrance😆 After a while, I think a more berry-like and softer scent emerges! Clearly plum and a hint of vanilla are the last notes in the fragrance. The bottle's appearance is really nice, and the color, in my opinion, reflects the scent well. Personally, I prefer clearly softer scents. This one won't be for everyday use for me, but as a "celebration scent," I will definitely use it from time to time! #lykotestpilot #valentino #lykoreview112 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 2 out of 5
smells like a man
I got a sample of this when I bought other things from here. But the first thing I thought when I smelled it is that it smells like a man, even my mom who came out of the shower thought that a man had been here 😅82 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 4 daysHejsan Julia Therese ✨❤️ Oh, scent is super personal and everyone likes different things! This perfume has a fruity and chypre character with plum at the top and a vanilla base that can give a slightly unisex impression at first 🥰 When it sits on the skin for 20–30 minutes, the scent softens and the vanilla tones come out more. Have a nice weekend!

Good and Confident Perfume!
The packaging of the perfume is very elegant and feels very luxurious! Additionally, it has a good grip around it, which I appreciate 🙌🏼 When I first tried it, I got the impression that this perfume seems quite mature and that it might suit those who are a bit older, rather than me at 20 years old. But as it settled, I liked it more and more! And it has also grown on me over time, becoming a new go-to perfume! It is deep, but not heavy. It is also fruity, and when it settles, the lovely vanilla comes through. I would also describe it as comfortable, warm, and confident. I would also say that it has a freshness to it, while also having a lovely and spicy plum! The areas of use for this are many. I feel this perfume works just as well during the day as in the evening, as well as for various special occasions! When it comes to the season, I might say it suits best in spring and summer, and maybe into autumn 😊 I would also mention that the longevity is about 5 hours, which I think is perfectly fine, while on clothes it definitely lasts longer of course 🫶🏼 So all in all, I think this is a good perfume that is worth trying! 🙌🏼 #lykotestpilot #valentino136 views - The post was made 6 daysRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

The Confident Woman's Scent
My normal scent preferences: Sweet, not too floral scents. The scent should be strong, one spray can be enough. Vanilla notes are my favorites! Upon first sniff, Valentino's Purple Melancholia Donna scent was a bit masculine and too strong for me. But after applying the scent several times, I've started to like it. The scent lasts long on the skin, and the sweet, plummy, and vanilla vibe comes out well after a few hours. I still wouldn't say this scent is too sweet! The scent is dark and not light, so it suits a confident woman. I will definitely wear this scent at parties and in the fall, but summery this is not for me. I believe this scent will find its user group, but it doesn't suit everyone. Even though it's Valentino's lovely Donna line, it's not the same as Born In Roma Donna, which has been my favorite scent for a long time! The bottle itself is beautiful, in Valentino's style, and the purple color is very enticing to display. #lykotestpilot #valentino227 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 4 out of 5
Good and long-lasting
At first, I was quite skeptical due to the vanilla scent, but I've received compliments on this and it has really grown on me! 😍🙌🏼 It's sweet but not sickening, maybe not an everyday scent, but definitely good! I will definitely use it a lot going forward for special occasions. I think the product description fits very well, vanilla and confident ✨🩷🫵🏼 perfect for a night out, the city, or a girls' night 👠 Quite long-lasting in use and lasts all day, even through a sweaty workout 🤟🏼 #lykoreview #lykoinflutester #lykotestpilot521 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 5 out of 5
