Donna Born In Roma has me in a serious chokehold. Its truly one of those perfumes that you sniff then throw your head back and just swoon. Definitely a neckbreaker. I have over 100 frags and this is in my Top 5 rn. Love her! ❤️
Just came across your channel recently and I’ve found myself coming back again and again. I absolutely love your delivery and personality. You are ScentSational! 😊 Thank you for the time you take to educate and inform us about the different fragrances and scents! I have begun my collection of both Niche and Designer fragrances and I’m starting to really get into mixing them up. Also, you just saved me. I went to Ulta today and picked up the Valentino Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy. I had smelled it previously in Dillards and really liked it, especially, the opening notes with that burst of sweet fruitiness from the Kiwi and Orange but the wear time wasn’t that great. Nonetheless, I found myself buying it today but when I got home, instead of opening the box, I pulled up a review from you and though you thought it was a pretty fragrance, you didn’t think it was a Wowwww fragrance. You’ll also said that it wasn’t a mature fragrance and that statement is what propelled me to grab my bag and head right on back to Ulta to exchange it for Valentino Donna Born in Roma and I’m so glad I did! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE!!! So THANK YOU Beautiful Santa Maria with a “The” at the beginning! Your reviews and recommendations are so very helpful and appreciated!!! You’re definitely in your Niche and I hope nothing but increase and blessings for you because I can tell that your heart is truly in what you do! Much Success to you!!! Okay, now let me go and enjoy my New purchase!!! 🥰❤
This was so kind of a comment! Thank you so much for watching my channel. I am glad my recommendations have assisted you in finding the right Donna for you. I do enjoy making reviews. It's a passion of mine and it helps people out. You will smell amazing in Donna Born In Roma.
@@TheSantaMaria1 I already do and received my very first compliment from my son. He was like, “Mom you smell good! I really like that one!” So thank you again! This was an early birthday present to myself and Oh What a Gift! I’m intoxicated with this scent! You were right, Valentino did the darn thing with this one!!! And I’m officially an Elf now because I Subscribed! 🥰
I smelled this 2x in Ulta and ended up purchasing from Macy’s during the 15% off fragrance sale. I wore it today. It’s a nice scent and it stays with you all day. On me the black currant and jasmine showed up no vanilla bourbon. Super bombed. I guess I could layer it but I was looking for a stand alone scent. Thanks for the review!
I just purchased my bottle at 12 am. I’m glad I’ll be getting a free tester. I tested V a year ago and from what I remember i liked it especially coming from someone that don’t like fruity fragrances. I’ll see! Yep and your lipstick is popping.. Thank you for your honesty.
Giiiirl I tried it for the first time today and omg. Instantly addicted. I got the 1.7 & it’s definitely going back for the biggest size. I can not stop sniffing my wrist. What’s crazy is, your description of it is exactly how I feel, I was gushing so hard over it, I said girl calm down (in my head) thinking it ain’t that deep 😂😂 Which is what brought me to youtube. I wanted to see if other women felt the same and it’s confirmed (not that I needed confirmation) lol It’s just heavenly. I’m getting ate wearing this for sure 😩😂
I love Donna Born in Roma! Its one of my favorites of all time! When it first came out, I wasn't even aware of it. My mom actually bought it and didn't like it so she gave it to me. I was hooked!!! I also just purchased Donna Coral Fantasy and Donna Born in Roma is still my favorite. Coral Fantasy is not bad but it also doesn't last as long as Donna Born in Roma.
As usual you never disappoint. Thanks again for all your knowledge. I trust your observations of fragrance and I always check your review before I buy! Keep doing what you doing! Love the makeup tips too😍
I love this perfume your review is spot on. It's a love from the opening to the dry down I also get the vanilla bourbon. I have the big daddy 100. It's beast mode on me too last for hours and I've also gotten compliments from both men and women. I will definitely be repurchasing. Would love to see your full collection of perfumes. Love the lipstick always perfection! TFS❤️
Yes! I picked it up during the sale! You convinced me! Your recommendations are on point for me. We have a similar nose Pallette, lol! Great review, TFS! 😍
I am new to perfumes And I wanted this fragrance so bad and I was sure I could get it on sale before mother's day. Unfortunately it was sold out everywhere I looked.But I definitely will get it
I like this scent but for some reason Armani Si the original has been on my mind big time. I haven't been blown away by this one yet.. lol The talk in the fragrance streets makes me want to by just to have. Lol
ThI’m s fragrance sounds lovely. And the more I look at the bottle the more I enjoy it. I love the edgy look. By birthday is the end of February so I may request this as a gift.
Hi Love the lip with that background You must do that lip color again this summer. I had someone purchase that perfume for me as a gift and I returned it. It was too sweet I got Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. I may try it again. Thank you. I love scents that last 8 + hours!!
Hahaha oh yes MAC Snob is a forever lippie in the collection. Hahaha the Valentino and light blue are very different vibes. The valentino truly lasts so that's a total win in my book.
Perfect timing… I just tried a sample of this yesterday! I really like it too. Yes, please review Lost Cherry! I haven’t smelled that one yet. Have you tried the dossier version of LC? Wondering if it’s worth getting to try it out or not. Thanks!
You are welcome! Hahaha to tie, you over I have a video discussing Tom Ford Lost Cherry Vs. Bitter Peach . I discussed the Dossier version in a previous video.
You should try Oakcha version of Born in Roma I love it it’s a little more sweeter in smell to me I wear that one more than the OG ❤then go over to brown sugar babe she makes the body oil to go with most of are favorite perfumes baby you’ll love her products i swear
idk why i don’t like this. my 3 yo niece always tryna be in my perfume so i usually give her a spray of this. i feel it’s kid friendly lol. gotta get her started early
@@TheSantaMaria1 yessss i have to find what it is that i like. i do know i don’t care for sweet scents like this, too sugary for me. i gotta get me some testers.🤎🤎🤎
Hello, I enjoyed your view on this particular perfume. I am late compared to others to decide if I would purchase. I couldn't get pass your hair color jusy beautiful with your complexion. Do you mind sharing the name of your hair color?
I'm asking perfume collectors Valentino born in Roma or Prada paradox? I keep seeing Valentino but no paradox but I hear they very similar and I want to know which one to get this weekend before the sale is over at Macy's
There is a reason you see more about Donna Born In Roma and less about Paradox. I reviewed Paradox on my channel btw and it’s not full bottle worthy. People discussed paradox but we mostly found it to be redundant.
Thank you. My name is The Santa Maria, and whenever we think of Santa, naturally we think of Santa's elves. Santa can't do the work alone; the elves make the magic happen. It's a relationship. It's the same here on my channel. We are a community and that is why I call my subscribers the elves :-)
This fragrance is so romantic. I get more compliments on this one than any other fragrance I've worn. It's more than worth it!
Yes indeed! It's a head turner.
Donna Born In Roma has me in a serious chokehold. Its truly one of those perfumes that you sniff then throw your head back and just swoon. Definitely a neckbreaker. I have over 100 frags and this is in my Top 5 rn. Love her! ❤️
Im in that chokehold with you. I agree! It's definitely one of my faves at the moment too.
It smells like the nursing home.
Damn fr? Love your description What do you like for men then?

I’ll see! Yep and your lipstick is popping.. Thank you for your honesty.
Oh you didn't play any games getting it! Glad you got it. Thanks for the compliments.
Sillage of this perfume is a beast. People would notice you are passing by. I love your lipstick and your eye shadow so dashing.
Facts! Love how it projects. Thank you for the compliments.
Have a bottle on the way - cant wait! Thanks for this review!! ♡♡♡
Nice! Hope you enjoy!

Shoutout to your mom! Thanks for the review on the coral fantasy.
@@TheSantaMaria1 thank you! 🙂
I’m glad I got the combo from Dillard’s. I keep the 3.4 on my dresser and the 1.7 in my bag.

Thank you! it's totally worth a sniff!
I am new to perfumes And I wanted this fragrance so bad and I was sure I could get it on sale before mother's day. Unfortunately it was sold out everywhere I looked.But I definitely will get it
It's sold at a lot of places so they will restock soon. Welcome to perfume world!
Santa...I pray all is well with these storms we are having here in the south. Please be safe.
Thanks for the heads up!
I like this scent but for some reason Armani Si the original has been on my mind big time. I haven't been blown away by this one yet.. lol
The talk in the fragrance streets makes me want to by just to have. Lol
I couldn't get into the Armanis but I may revisit them. Hahaha the fragrance streets.
@@TheSantaMaria1 give it another sniff.
ThI’m s fragrance sounds lovely. And the more I look at the bottle the more I enjoy it. I love the edgy look.
By birthday is the end of February so I may request this as a gift.
Thanks for sharing
I just got this with my Ulta points. And that's crazy you pulled out that pallet. I just used that yesterday, and pretty sure the same colors. Lol.
That was a smart strategy! It's still a good palette.
Yes it’s on my list !
It's great juice!

Omg your birthday is March??mine is March 9 and I took your recommendation and gifted my self kayali vinalla 28
Yay March babies. Love Kayali vanilla 28!

Hello, I enjoyed your view on this particular perfume. I am late compared to others to decide if I would purchase. I couldn't get pass your hair color jusy beautiful with your complexion. Do you mind sharing the name of your hair color?
Thanks for watching. I get my hair custom colored by my hair stylist :-)
Another one I need to pickup.. 😔😂
Oh yes you you need to!
Hi love,what perfume should I get for one of my granddaughters that will be 18 on 17th?
Hi there. That is a very broad question. I recommend going in store and smelling scents to decide.
You look awesome!
Thank you so much!

There is a reason you see more about Donna Born In Roma and less about Paradox. I reviewed Paradox on my channel btw and it’s not full bottle worthy. People discussed paradox but we mostly found it to be redundant.
Can you compare Tom Fords Lost Cherry vs the Dossier version? I hear Tom Fords doesn't last long, so I got the Dossier, and I love it!!!!
I already have videos discussing both fragrances :-)
You’re too cute, why do you say elves 🥰🥹
