I am a senior citizen, and just getting back into perfumes. I wore them in my twenties to please the men I dated. I’m wearing them now to please myself. Your videos have been so helpful. I just bought the travel size of the original Born in Roma. I really love it. It’s warm and uplifting and lasts longer than many others I’ve tried. 🤗❤️💕
I've just bought Valentino Donna. I have become quite obsessed with perfumes in the last 10 months and have a good collection when my friend walked in wearing this and just WOW! I bought it the next day and this will be my new go-to! My fav will always be Chloe!
Born in Roma is one of my faves, I can literally wear it everyday, I'll have to get a decant of the newest one. Your attitude is contagious, I really enjoy your videos.
Love your videos! Donna Born in Roma is my signature. It took me so long to finally replace my discontinued fragrance, 12 years to be exact. I love the woodiness in it, it gives it a more grown up sexy vibe in my opinion.
I just got into perfumes. I got this yellow one. It’s super light and reminds be of cherry blossom season baby showers 😂 it’s a beautiful floral light lemon perfume. I’ve been wearing it a lot the past few days. Definitely a good every day summer scent. Absolutely in love with this perfume
I've tried the Yellow & was so pleasantly surprised - It's actually one of my favorites & I really think you can wear this year round in my opinion - This is a very nice & unique scent - Will try the pink one next & I'm sure I won't be disappointed!😉
I tried them both today, and I love the yellow one! I’m very impressed by the scent, I sprayed it on about 4 hours ago and I can still smell it, it’s the most beautiful scent ever!
I have Born in Roma. I like it a lot. It also has some lasting power which many of the fragrances now a days don’t have. I’d like to try Yellow Dreams. Not sure about the Yellow Dreams name.
I prefer Yellow Dream to the original :) it's warm in SG and the original was a bit too heavy for my nose. Yellow Dream seemed more suitable for the climate here. Didn't buy it - was too expensive. But really liked the smell!
Awesome review! I have repurchased and love the original born in Roma. I just bought the yellow dream and not too excited after first 5 minutes of spraying it. I will see how it develops. Fingers crossed.
Hi! I tried the original at the store and I thought it was gorgeous and also very strong. The yellow one might be better for me. Haven’t tried it yet. Love your top!
You look so lovely I love your top to. I bought the Roma Yellow Dream but I definitely Like Donna Born in Roma better. Yellow Dream I loved in the beginning but I see now after having worn it for a while that the lemon is almost to sour in smell.
I really like Valentino fragrances. Personally, I love Voce Viva. I think it’s awesome. This one sounds good because the lemon will make it great for spring.
I recently discovered the Valentino brand in fragrances and I’m in love! I want to try these two as well! Would love a review of the new formulation of Donna, they discontinued the old leather one and have a new one, which I own and love ❤️
I really love this perfume... I found it incredible and connected with ancient Rome "matronas", i think that a powerful roman "matrona" living in the eternal city wears Valentino Born in Roma Yellow Dream and i wanna be recognized as her! It is Born in Roma and not Born in Rome, "Roma" is Roma and not its English version, it is different from the rest of the name because Roma in Italian, Valentino is Italian and i am really proud to be Italian like them! Imagine a fabulous armony of musk, lemon and roses, that's it. I wanna be recognized with this wonderful fragrance!
I have both and I absolutely love both of them I wear the yellow dream at night to feel nice, fresh & clean I also wear the yellow dream on regular days like when I go to the mall or when I go to eat dinner with my daughter it’s that kind of perfume for me and the born in Roma that’s reserved for a nice fancy dinner or gathering with my girl friends I also have the intense born in Roma I haven’t used it yet but it’s fabulous it’s smells so pretty
You’re looking stunning as always Soki!💗 I actually haven’t even tried the original Born in Roma as yet but I already know I’m going to like it based on the notes 😃 can’t wait to try it and potentially buy it as well!
This is one of the great things about your range videos. When a new perfume comes out, you have something at hand from the house to compare the new release against. And it also serves as an update of earlier videos. Speaking of which, are you going to be reviewing the latest Jimmy Choo release, the very cheesily named I Love Choo?
I think that the yellow dream is not developing well on your skin. I just bought it and it lasts about 6 hours on my skin, and much longer on clothes. It starts fresh and light but then develops into a much muskier rose that is quite strong. It projects quite well, and I can smell it for almost 8 hours or more around me. The pink one however on my skin is not strong at all. It’s very airy and soft on me, and lasts only about an hour
That shirt is amazing!! Thanks for all your videos girl; they are very helpful. Idk if it’s possible but recommendations for ppl who get migraines? I can’t handle Coco Madam (had it, sold it, may get privee) but I’ve worn hypnotic poison for years. Hopefully one day you will have a perfume! Much love from Georgia 💕
I get migraines and am super picky. I use the Donna born in Roma & yellow dream, BKR540, BKR540 extrait, bond no 9 greenwhich village, tribeca, B9. I can’t go near the Chanel perfumes at all or instant migraines. Perhaps it’s the more floral fragrances that I can’t handle or the sickly sweet ones 🤔
I have the original in my collection love the scent however one very disappointing thing about the bottle was the emblem actually fell off! Sure cheapens the look of the bottle and would make me hesitate to repurchase
I haven't tried anything from this range. I think the first born in Roma might be too strong for me. I like a soft fruity floral perfume. I'm doubtful which one of the other two will fit me. Can you give me your opinion?
The Donna range is discontinued.. or at least I thought so 🤔 I have Donna Aqua and I ordered Donna as well as Donna uomo (men's) because I couldn't find them in department stores or online. I ended up getting them second hand pre owned online. I could be wrong but yes to my understanding the Donna line is on its way out! Grab before they're gone!
Love your videos and your personality so much! I've been binging your videos these past few days and now i have a huge list of perfumes i wanna sniff! I really like these bottles too, they're cute.
I’m intrigued by the lemon version. Hopefully it will be released over here soon. On a side note: I wonder how easy it will be for us to get European products now. FYI, Guerlain have released a new Nectar flanker of LPRN but, when I contacted them, they said it’s not being released in the U.K. I asked whether this was brexit related and whether they’d continue to sell and release things over here and the advisor told me she didn’t know what the future of the house would be in the U.K. 😔
Yes, I hope it’s just temporary. Their website isn’t taking any orders from the U.K. at the moment :/ hopefully they’ll sort it out. Having only just discovered the lprn line I was gutted to hear that :(
@@SokiLondon I had miss Dior original version and I liked it but didn’t end up loving it. I know they reformatted them and I cannot discount them. I just have to try. Thank you friend,
Good morning from NY. First, your top is so adorable ❤. Next- do you find that amazon sells authentic perfumes? I have ordered scents that seem 'off'. Reviews are so mixed....some claim fake others claim great. I'm looking for a dupe to Perry Ellis 360 for women and what I ordered last year was certainly NOT authentic- unless it was bad. I'm guessing this fragrance was discontinued but I loved it for years.
i have to always skip the intro. i just wish you would dive right into the video from the start as most viewers are not new and can easily find out what your channel is about without you explaining

its a nice combo for sure!

You are truly underrated
You’re so knowledgeable yet fun at the same time
You're the best!
@@SokiLondon victoria secret have two new body care collection please do a reivew 😇
Your top and lipstick looks beautiful.
Thank you so much 🙂
Born in Roma is one of my faves, I can literally wear it everyday, I'll have to get a decant of the newest one. Your attitude is contagious, I really enjoy your videos.
I love new releases of lines that I love. It's sounds like a true spring fragrance. Everyone is on a rose kick right now. Lol.
haha so much rose!
I blind bought Born In Roma and I really love it. I think it smells sophisticated and the packaging in great 🖤
you might like the new one!
Genuinely you're the only person I trust with perfume reviews:)
Aw thank you 😊
Love your videos! Donna Born in Roma is my signature. It took me so long to finally replace my discontinued fragrance, 12 years to be exact. I love the woodiness in it, it gives it a more grown up sexy vibe in my opinion.
ah what was your previous one? Not D&G Femme?
I always love your outfits in all of your videos, they are gorgeous!

Would you recommend it?
I have Born in Roma. I like it a lot. It also has some lasting power which many of the fragrances now a days don’t have. I’d like to try Yellow Dreams. Not sure about the Yellow Dreams name.
👍
I recently tested both of these in the store and loved both! Would like to purchase both of them ❤️
Born is Roma is my favourite perfume and yellow is my favourite colour so I'm going to HAVE to buy the new one once it's easier to get hold of...
It's so good!
I just got Born in Roma and I LOVE it. Will you consider doing a video on similar woody note perfumes please?
Coming soon !
The Pink one is my Signature scent now!❤️❤️❤️🙌
I prefer Yellow Dream to the original :) it's warm in SG and the original was a bit too heavy for my nose. Yellow Dream seemed more suitable for the climate here. Didn't buy it - was too expensive. But really liked the smell!
Ooo sounds lovely! I have to say... I love the yellow liquid! Perfect for spring summer! Great video as always xxx
🥰
I LOVEEEE the original Born In Roma but I need to try that yellow one ! Great comparison video ! Tfs 🎊😊

You look very pretty, like ready for the party. The makeup and the clothing: super.
🥰

Very good, whenever I wear it I always get positive comments. It’s so nice and sweet.
Just bought the Born in Roma love it. I think anyone wouldn’t go wrong blind buying this one. But my signature scent will always be Dior Addict edp.
I recently discovered the Valentino brand in fragrances and I’m in love! I want to try these two as well! Would love a review of the new formulation of Donna, they discontinued the old leather one and have a new one, which I own and love ❤️
Have you try it?
Obsessed with your videos! Please will you do a review of Zara perfumes? Apparently they have some good dupes for high end fragrances xx

Where’s this blouse from?? You should do a video on all your blouses
Haha thanks it’s from zara
Love your videos! And today I have to say I love your shirt too! Did you get it at Zara recently?
Thanks! Yep zara :)

I made a decision to buy the pink one without smelling it and I bought 30 ml… don’t make the same mistake and get 100ml.
I adore Donna so I hope they don't get rid of it

I can’t go near the Chanel perfumes at all or instant migraines. Perhaps it’s the more floral fragrances that I can’t handle or the sickly sweet ones 🤔
The yellow one reminds me of YSL's Libre en I don't know why :).
You look stunning today!!!
🥰
I can’t wait to go and try it very excited as I love born in Roma all year around but this one sounds to be my spring perfume this year 🥰🥰
👍
For which age range are Donna and Coral Fantasy?
Soki, can you talk about the Kenzo World range? I'd very much love to hear your opinion. 😊 🙏 😊 🙏
will try :)

Yes, I hope it’s just temporary. Their website isn’t taking any orders from the U.K. at the moment :/ hopefully they’ll sort it out. Having only just discovered the lprn line I was gutted to hear that :(
Which one smells sexier and lasts longer?
Born in Roma :)
First like and first comment ! So proud of myself !🤣😊
Good job!
Did you get a chance to smell the men's version? I'm actually more interested in that one than the women's version lol.
I’m afraid not
Love born in roma and it smells just like delina exclusif to me
What you say Voce Viva or new one yellow have any similarities???
No don’t think so !
Is it similar to D & G Light Blue?
no more floral with the rose
I think 🤔 n the u.s they have the new one at Nordstrom now
Anyone know how Donna Born in Roma compares to Voce Viva Intensa?
Roma is much more fruity
Is it any close to Chanel?
hmm not really, more the miss dior edt because of the rose
@@SokiLondon I had miss Dior original version and I liked it but didn’t end up loving it. I know they reformatted them and I cannot discount them. I just have to try. Thank you friend,

Hi absolutely love your beautiful blouse
What size is this ?
30ml
when a perfume has my name in it... YOOOOOOOOOOOO
haha nice
This is not the direction I would have thought they'd go with a flanker. Interesting.
🤔
Seems like the women’s variety is better than the men’s variety. I wish the men’s version was more in the vain of the original uomo line.
How is the lasting power of the pink one ?
the pink one has very good lasting power
Here in the US everything is open. Its like they don't care.. 😕
Scary 😞
@@SokiLondon they're planning to do another level one for 100 days shutdown soon
