Valbonne
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a divisive love-it-or-hate-it iris. For some, it's a breathtaking luxury, a signature scent that conjures high-class elegance. For others, it's a harsh, waxy, or even sickly experience. Clearly, a true iris fan's scent test is required.
A divisive scent from Molton Brown, Valbonne tantalises with a unique floral-leather opening that quickly fades into a lacklustre dry-down. For those who appreciate its early charm, the fleeting performance is a real shame.
