Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its prominent oud and vanilla base, this fragrance leans more towards evening and formal wear. It's sophisticated enough for special occasions but the dark chocolate note gives it a seductive edge for date nights.

About

Valéine opens with a bright, invigorating burst of bergamot and lemon, sharpened by aromatic lavender and herbaceous clary sage. This fresh introduction quickly deepens, revealing a seductive heart of dark chocolate and indolic jasmine, softened by geranium. The journey culminates in a rich, velvety base where earthy patchouli and animalic oud intertwine with the creamy sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean, leaving a luxurious, lasting trail.
