Valentina is an iconic character from the comics of Italian artist Guido Crepax. Making her first appearance on the pages back in 1965, she quickly became a symbol of her era. With her stylish bob, fashionable clothes, graceful figure, and full lips, she is remembered by many as an independent, intelligent, sensual, and confident woman. And do you know what was always part of Valentina's look? Lipstick. As a style icon, she had a lipstick for every occasion, and it's this powdery scent that you can experience in Valentina's eau de toilette. Based on the striking notes present in the fragrance pyramid, it's easy to imagine that the stylish photojournalist's makeup bag always included coral, red, plum, and even chocolate shades, which she used to endlessly captivate men.
Top notes shimmer with bright citrusy bursts of mandarin, surrounded by blackcurrant leaves and spicy pink pepper — from the very first moment, the audacity and boldness of the fragrance's owner are evident.
Heart notes unfold with jasmine and rose — symbols of elegance and femininity — that fill the air with a gentle powdery cloud.
Base notes enchant with the play of heliotrope, offering an almond-vanilla nuance that envelops everything in a silky sweetness. This powdery motif is enhanced by patchouli and sandalwood, while light touches of chocolate and gray amber add seductive accents, creating an alluring image.
The water is pleasant, sweet, and lasts for 3-4 hours. I bought it blindly, thinking it would be worse, but I was pleasantly surprised. The girls at work in the office also liked it and said it has a trail.
