Valentino Beauty introduces Born in Roma Ruby Donna and Uomo as two limited editions for Holiday 2026. Donna is an Eau de Parfum for women and Uomo an Eau de Toilette for men. Both use the Born in Roma Rockstud bottle, now colored in Valentino Rosso, but each chooses a different red fruit to create its own direction.

Ruby Donna opens with a juicy strawberry accord before jasmine sambac absolute takes over the heart. An infusion of Madagascar bourbon vanilla shapes the base. The strawberry should feel fleshy and bright, while jasmine adds floral radiance and vanilla rounds everything with warm, ambered sweetness.

Ruby Uomo turns instead to raspberry, lavender and a woody cream accord. Raspberry should bring a slightly darker and tarter fruitiness than strawberry, while lavender cuts through with aromatic freshness. The smooth woody base looks set to soften the composition without removing that contrast.

Valentino's US site lists Donna in 50 and 100 ml for $160 and $198, while Uomo comes in 100 ml for $170. Together, they work as a pair rather than identical flankers: one floral berry vanilla and one more aromatic berry wood fragrance, linked by the same ruby-red collector bottle.
