UOMO BORN IN ROMA CORAL FANTASY

Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Coral Fantasy

Inspired by the light of Rome at sunset, Coral Fantasy is a bold, energetic, and sophisticated fragrance. It moves away from the aquatic mineral notes of the original Born In Roma, leaning instead into a warmer, fruitier, and more ambery territory.

The Scent Profile

It is classified as a Woody Aromatic fragrance that balances sweetness with a masculine, smoky edge.

• The Opening (Top Notes): The fragrance opens with a vibrant and juicy Red Apple accord mixed with Bergamot. This gives it a fresh, "crunchy" sweetness that is immediately attention-grabbing.

   

• The Heart (Middle Notes): As it settles, a unique blend of Bourbon Geranium and Clary Sage emerges, adding a clean, herbal, and slightly floral masculinity.

• The Base (Dry Down): The finish is warm and seductive, featuring Tobacco leaf and Patchouli. This creates a smoky, woody trail that feels elegant and deep.

Key Characteristics

• Vibe: Modern, romantic, and charismatic. It captures the "Golden Hour" of Italy.

• Versatility: While it works well during the day, it truly shines as a date night or evening fragrance. It is versatile enough for all seasons but is particularly stunning in Fall and Spring.

• Performance: It offers good longevity (7–8 hours) and moderate to strong sillage, making sure you get noticed without being overpowering.

Why it Stands Out

Unlike many sweet fragrances that can feel "young," the addition of tobacco in the dry down gives Coral Fantasy a sophisticated maturity. It is widely considered one of the best flankers in the Valentino line for its unique "red" fruity-meets-smoky aroma.
