Which Should You Buy?
A luminous, modern vanilla-woody floral with addictive blackcurrant brightness and plush jasmine. Effortlessly feminine and versatile, it balances playful sweetness with couture sophistication.
No. 987 captures the jasmine-and-vanilla heart of Valentino Born In Roma Donna faithfully, but the woody undertone is thinner than the original's plush amber-floral finish, so it reads sweeter and simpler rather than genuinely couture.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The blend of creamy vanilla and woody cashmeran brings warmth for fall and winter, while the juicy blackcurrant and fresh jasmine keep it bright enough for cool spring days. It can feel heavy in high heat, so it's less ideal for summer.
Occasions
It excels on dates and evenings out due to its sweet, sensual vanilla and moderate projection. It's also wearable for casual or office settings, but the richness and distinct woody-vanilla character make it less suited to sports or strict formality.
Seasons
A warm jasmine-vanilla amber floral that feels richest in fall and winter, while the sweetness can feel heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Glamorous and sweet rather than office-appropriate, it's best suited to evening wear and date nights.
