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.

About

Valkyrie opens with a fizzy burst of bitter orange and zesty lime, immediately bright and invigorating. This citrus fanfare then settles into a creamy vanilla heart, given an unexpected freshness by green basil and cool mint. Sandalwood provides a subtle, woody depth, preventing the vanilla from becoming overly sweet, while hints of powdery notes develop, rounding out this uniquely contrasted composition. It's a journey from vibrant freshness to a gentle, comforting warmth.
