For this issue, we created a story for the Valentino Born in Roma fragrance family, celebrating the launch of two perfumes for men and women called Born in Roma Purple Melancholia — a name that naturally echoes the soul of our magazine. We envisioned a psychedelic, luminous narrative, saturated with color, reflections, and waves of light. A visual translation of what perfume truly is: an invisible and delicate force, a magnetic yet subtle energy, a vibration that travels through bodies and memories. Glamour here is more than an image. It is a sensation: intoxicating, irresistible, and melancholic.
