Short answer: Donna is the women's line and Uomo is the men's line. Start with the original of either one. Move to Intense if you want it warmer and sweeter, or to Extradose if you want the most concentrated version.
Donna vs Uomo
| Line | For | How the original smells |
|---|---|---|
| Donna Born in Roma | Women | Blackcurrant and jasmine over warm bourbon vanilla and woods |
| Uomo Born in Roma | Men | Mineral freshness, violet leaf, sage and ginger over smoky vetiver |
The versions explained
- Original: the balanced starting point. Donna is a sweet vanilla floral. Uomo is fresh, aromatic and woody.
- Intense: richer and warmer, with more vanilla. A good pick for evenings and cold weather.
- Coral Fantasy: a fruitier, brighter take.
- Yellow Dream: a lighter, sunnier version with more citrus.
- Green Stravaganza: a greener, more aromatic twist.
- Extradose: a parfum strength version for people who want the boldest wear.
Which one should you buy?
If this is your first bottle, the original Donna Eau de Parfum or Uomo Eau de Toilette is the easiest to love. If you already own it and want more depth, go to Intense. If you want something for warm days, look at Yellow Dream or Coral Fantasy.
Not sure? Minis and pen sprays are a low-cost way to try one before a full bottle.
