The review
Heart Of Rome scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Donna Born In Roma.
The Dua Brand 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 $33 it costs 82% less than Donna Born In Roma.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
Valentino Donna Born In Roma is blackcurrant and jasmine grandiflorum at first, jasmine sambac and jasmine grandiflorum at its heart and bourbon vanilla and woody notes at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- blackcurrant
- jasmine grandiflorum
Heart
- jasmine sambac

Base
- bourbon vanilla

Creamy jasmine over bourbon vanilla, a soft-focus modern classic dressed in Rockstud armour.
