Valentino Valentina Acqua Floreale (2013) {New Perfume}

Italian house Valentino will launch a new flanker to Valentina (2011) with a luminous, radiant rendition of it called Valentina Acqua Floreale succeeding the richer Valentina Assoluto (2012). Announcing perfume news is living in early anticipation of the following season. The composition will herald spring when it launches on January 25, 2013...

The perfume is signed by perfumer Oliver Cresp having re-worked solo on a fragrance originally co-created with perfumer Alberto Morillas. 

The scent attempts to capture another nuance in the universe of Valentina incarnated by Freja Beha Erichsen, made of ancient stones, mossy gardens and a somewhat reclusive palazzo located in Rome. We are invited to imagine a morning promenade in a garden in the summer smelling of an artful "alchemy of contrasts". 

The eau de toilette opens on the "exhuberant freshness of bergamot" followed by the "ultra feminine grace of neroli" associated with an "harmonious accord of mimosa, jasmine, orange flower and tuberose". Amber and patchouli warm up the fragrance. 

Prices: 68€ and 86€ for 50 ml and 100 ml respectively.
