Valentino Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Eau de Parfum (by Valentino) belongs primarily to the Floral Fruity / Warm Floral fragrance family. A dark, mysterious, and moody evolution of the iconic Born in Roma series, Purple Melancholia strikes a captivating balance between deep succulent fruitiness, velvety florals, and cozy warmth. It opens with a luscious, juicy splash of plum accord, transitions into an atmospheric heart of velvety osmanthus and jasmine, and grounds on a smooth, comforting base of rich Madagascar vanilla.
