Born in Roma Donna Green Stravaganza
Jasmine tea compliment MAGNET!
This fragrance has wowed and surprised me in so many great ways. I love the original Donna Born in Roma, but (in my opinion) I feel like it is a very typical-type scent that does not stand out very much or offer something unique. I think of it as a "dumb-reach" fragrance because it is easy, likable, long-lasting, and compliment-getting, even if it isn't anything extraordinary. This flanker, however? Amazing. Usually flankers are just slightly rehashed versions of the original that smell exactly the same, but this takes the original DBIR DNA and completely revamps it. This is so calming and relaxing with the tea and the florals, and still dries down to that beautiful vanilla base that we all know and love from the original. Before I bought this, I heard some people complaining about the longevity/projection, which didn't surprise me because usually tea scents are not very long-lasting. However, when I actually tried it out I found it to be nothing of the sort. It's probably an individual skin chemistry thing, (so I would definitely recommend trying it out on your skin before purchasing) but I personally found this to be VERY long lasting (8+ hours), especially for a tea scent. I also think the projection was pretty nice without being monstrous; people could definitely smell it on me, but it wasn't too overwhelming. Lastly I've honestly found this to be a compliment magnet. I usually am pretty shy and try not to draw too much attention to myself, so I have to be wary when I wear this as I know I'll get compliments. (I've gotten at least one or two every time I've worn it) Definitely try it out before you buy it, but if you love the original DBIR and you love tea scents, this is a no-brainer purchase!
