Which Should You Buy?
Valentina Oud Assoluto is a bold oriental powerhouse, a sophisticated leather-oud that's divisive but never dull. It's a statement scent for those who like their fragrance with strong character.
This is a seriously polarising one. Some adore its luxurious, jammy rose and warm embrace, while others can't get past a 'rubbery' saffron or synthetic sweetness. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it sings on your skin, it's a real stunner.
