Swiss Arabian SPIRIT OF VALENCIA is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Hamid Merati-Kashani. SPIRIT OF VALENCIA opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Apple, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Peony, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Swiss Arabian's SPIRIT OF VALENCIA carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast, not for the faint of heart. Expect a bold, high-performance floral-fruity scent that some will adore and others will find headache-inducing. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with no middle ground.

Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and 'eternal' longevity, this isn't one for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its vibrant and unique character can shine, but its powerful floral sweetness might feel a bit much for formal events.

About

Spirit of Valencia opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, softened immediately by a crisp, juicy apple. The heart blooms into a rich bouquet of gardenia, jasmine, and peony, underpinned by the classic elegance of rose. As it settles, a warm base of amber and sandalwood emerges, cushioned by a soft, lingering musk. The overall effect is a powerful, fresh floral with a sweet, almost boozy undertone.
