Donna Born in Roma Coral Fantasy
A kiwi accord lifted by orange essence, a full jasmine bouquet, then ambrette seed and woody musks for a soft, warm finish.
Perfumer: Jacques Huclier, Nadège Le Garlantezec
Coral Fantasy is set at sunset in Rome, when the sky over the city turns coral. Valentino treats that hour as a starting point for fantasy, and the name carries the same color.
The opening, labelled Color, is a kiwi accord: juicy and cooling, brightened by an orange essence that adds sparkle. The heart, Couture, rests on a generous jasmine infusion, shaped into a bouquet with a tailored, dressed-up feel.
At the base, Cool pairs ambrette seed with a woody musk accord. Ambrette gives a soft warmth with some texture to it, so the finish feels closer to skin than to fruit.
