Valbonne

by Jennifer Jambon

Molton Brown Valbonne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Jennifer Jambon. Valbonne opens with Orange Blossom and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Leather and Vetiver. Molton Brown's Valbonne carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

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.

About

Valbonne bursts open with a bright, citrusy orange blossom and bergamot, quickly delving into a sophisticated heart of powdery iris, delicate mimosa, and a hint of rose. This floral richness is underpinned by a prominent, elegant leather, softened by earthy vetiver in the base. It's a complex dance of fresh, floral, and grounded notes.
