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.
