A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Roma Vanilla lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Valentina.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Valentina's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $83 per 100ml it costs 6% less than Valentina — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

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 Perfume Parlour 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

What it is chasing: bergamot, Calabrian Bergamot and orange blossom up top, tuberose, jasmine and white truffle in the middle, cedar, amber and strawberry underneath — the shape of Valentino Valentina.

Top

  • bergamot
  • Calabrian Bergamot
  • orange blossom

Heart

  • tuberose
  • jasmine
  • white truffle

Base

  • cedar
  • amber
  • strawberry
Creamy tuberose with an earthy truffle wink, sweeter and stranger than it first appears.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 4 twins of Valentino Valentina we can price, Roma Vanilla is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 The Dupe Spot Valentina #400 $36/100ml
  2. 02 Perfume Parlour Roma Vanilla $83/100ml
  3. 03 Perfume Parlour Signora $114/100ml
  4. 04 Palermo Perfumes Valentina $22.75
