The review
On paper, Amberoma is a strong bet if you want Donna Born In Roma for less.
Mod Fragrances lists 1 of the 5 notes in Donna Born In Roma's pyramid — jasmine sambac. What it does not list: blackcurrant, jasmine grandiflorum, bourbon vanilla and woody notes; and it adds pink pepper and jasmine of its own.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $40 it costs 78% less than Donna Born In Roma.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Mod Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on blackcurrant and jasmine grandiflorum, turns to jasmine sambac and jasmine grandiflorum, and settles into bourbon vanilla and woody notes. That is the brief Amberoma is working from.
Top
- blackcurrant

Heart

Base

Creamy jasmine over bourbon vanilla, a soft-focus modern classic dressed in Rockstud armour.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
