The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Valentino and crafted by perfumers Jean-Christophe Hérault and Nicolas Beaulieu, Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Coral Fantasy quickly became a viral summer scent on TikTok. The fragrance opens with the zesty freshness of Calabrian bergamot and red apple, followed by the aromatic complexity of cardamom and lavender. This bright and invigorating top is balanced by warm spices like clary sage and tobacco leaf, leading into a woody base of patchouli and Haitian vetiver. The scent's vibrant profile has earned it numerous compliments, making it a standout in its price range.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a balanced wear. The citrusy top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness throughout the day.
