I have both and I will say that for me, they are not the same at all. The OG is more fruity, whereas the intense isn’t coming to play any games from the initial spray. The Jasmine is very dominant upon initial spray but settles very well as it dries down. Longevity is INSANE on the intense as opposed to the OG in my opinion. Great review
Thanks for sharing! I’m surprised you can’t smell the Original DNA in the intense. I can definitely tell they are sisters 😂 And agreed it did not come to play talk about beasty for a designer fragrance. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@AriellAsh no I didn’t smell it at all and was a bit disappointed that I didn’t but I have only worn it once. Maybe I will use it this weekend and see if I capture it. Went to Saks to get Vayala and ended up being torn between that and Oriana so I ordered samples of both off of Etsy to see which one wears better on me. They were both beautiful and lasted all day in my wrists.
Thanks for this review. I enjoy the OG Donna Born in Roma, particularly at daytime. Definitely intrigued by this one, will get it. Right now, I cannot get enough of the YSL Libre Intense
Omg I’m actually wearing it today…which is my fav from all 3! I got the travel as well and intense in full bottle. Blind buy… definitely shudda done vs versa but I’m not mad lol
HI Ariell - I just picked up the new flanker DBIR Gold and it is a lighter version and a pretty summer fragrance. I posted the review yesterday. I am hoping to pick up Virtual Flower this week.
Let me start by saying I loved the way you explained the fragrance. Absolutely beautiful! Now let me get into the fragrance. When I first smelled it in the store, this beautiful scent made me fall in love with her. This's my first Born in Roma, I don't have the OG. I bought a large size bottle so I could have this lovely scent to last, BUT after getting home with my own brand new bottle, I don't smell it pass the opening notes. Is it possible I got a bad bottle?
Thank you Luv 😊 I honestly never heard of anyone having that experience. I Know depending on ur skin lasting power varies but I didn’t think to that . I’m really not sure
I haven’t watched videos on this fragrance because the OG was such a let down. Everyone recommended that one so I was excited to get the travel size for a great price during a sale on Valentino’s site during the holidays. For some reason I can’t smell it on me! I smell it when I first spray and then seconds later nothing 😭 but after watching your video I’m curious to try this one and see if I can actually smell it on my skin
Interesting because these are beasty type fragrances as far as projection and longevity goes. Yes Sis if you try it please let me know how it performs on you.
I got a Donna Born in Roma 3 piece travel spray gift set for Xmas which includes the OG, and 2 flankers, DBIR Coral Fantasy and DBIR Yellow Dream. While I do love all 3, Yellow Dream takes the cake for me. I'm curious to smell the Intense now naturally. Thanks for sharing sis 😘
Ouuu I need to get my nose on that one. I love catching the Xmas sets for fragrance, makeup, and skincare. Let me know if you like it. Yw and thanks for watching Luv ❤️❤️
Love that top! You look too cute. I just got 2 fragrances one from Nishane and BDK. I'm about to go in a no buy. Lol I know that probably smells good but don't need anymore vanilla-y scents. Lol
Thank you Luv! Now you know I’m bout to ask which ones you got 🤣 and do you like them. This one is good so when u finish a couple other fragrances double back to Valentino
I wanted to cry when I first sprayed it on myself. I’ve been looking for a vanilla amber scent and bought Black Opium. I didn’t get any vanilla or coffee in that one, just jasmine. It’s nice but not what I wanted. I bought this one and it smelled like fruit at the beginning just like you said but it dries down to a nice bourbon vanilla. It’s very mild though. I am waiting for Black Opium Le Parfum to see if maybe that’s what I really wanted.
You look fabulous🥰🥰 I didn't like it I took mine back 😩😩 I tried it's not the original it wasn't my favorite it wasn't giving me what I thought it was gonna give 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
You look absolutely gorgeous and very classy! I love the entire look. Can’t wait to smell the fragrance.
Thank you so much❤Please let me know your thoughts!

Oh ok…would love to know ur thoughts on Valaya once you try it
You explained this perfectly!!!! I just got the original. I almost bought the intense. I going back to get it🥴

Just got them both and I can’t wait to wear them!
Too good! I wonder which one you will gravitate to most
@@AriellAsh🤔🤔🤔

You’re most welcome! And Libre intense is another good one it’s one that had to grow on me but it’s soo good as well! Thanks for sharing Luv!
I love Libre Intense as well but have u tried the Le Parfum??? I'm using that travel spray very, very sparingly cuz that juice is GOODT 😂😂😂
Omg I’m actually wearing it today…which is my fav from all 3! I got the travel as well and intense in full bottle. Blind buy… definitely shudda done vs versa but I’m not mad lol
Great review, I agree with your thoughts, original & this one smell nice to me as well. Tfs❤

I honestly couldn't stand the OG. The intense version is superior to my nose because I love warm and sultry vanilla. ❤
And sultry it is 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 so beautiful

Awee hopefully you love Black opium le parfum I have a review up of that one as well.
You look fabulous🥰🥰 I didn't like it I took mine back 😩😩 I tried it's not the original it wasn't my favorite it wasn't giving me what I thought it was gonna give 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Whaaaa… but it’s so similar to the original sis? Not to you huh lol
Thank you Sis! ❤
No lol maybe my nose wasn't right that day I may try it when I go back to Sephora u never steered me wrong yet
Yeeees when u go back just spray it on ur skin again and wear it the whole day. Cause it’s yummy to me.. and for some reason I smell coconut in it 🧐
