The review
Worth a try. That is where Love in Rome lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Donna Born In Roma.
Oakcha sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Donna Born In Roma's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $63 per 100ml it costs 65% less than Donna Born In Roma — the 2nd cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oakcha 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.
