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

Valentino opens with a gentle zing from pomelo and pear blossom, quickly blooming into a heart of lush magnolia and bright orange blossom. The dry-down is where it truly shines, settling into a creamy, powdery base of rice and heliotrope, with the warmth of orchid lingering gracefully. It's a beautifully blended, understated floral.
