Valentino’s Donna Born In Roma Coral Fantasy EDP, launched in 2022, is the second flanker in the popular Born In Roma line. It takes the original’s modern floral-woody DNA and injects a burst of tropical, citrusy brightness. Designed for women who love vibrant, uplifting scents, Coral Fantasy aims to capture the spirit of a sun-drenched summer day.

The fragrance opens with a surprising duo of kiwi and Brazilian orange—a sharp, juicy combination that immediately grabs attention. As it settles, a heart of Indian jasmine, rose, and ambrette (musk mallow) adds a creamy, slightly powdery floralcy. The base of white musk and Texas cedar provides a clean, warm finish that lingers for hours.

With moderate projection and sillage, Coral Fantasy is versatile enough for daytime wear, date nights, or the office. Its playful yet sophisticated character has earned it a solid 4.09 out of 5 on Fragrantica, making it a strong contender in the crowded fruity-floral category.
