The story behind the bottle.
Valensole Lavender, created by Jérôme di Marino and launched in 2020, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the essence of crisp sophistication. The composition opens with lemon and saffron, which give way to a heart of lavender and sage, creating an herbal freshness that's both invigorating and grounding. The base notes of nutmeg, cardamom, amberwood, guaiac wood, and vetiver add warmth and depth, resulting in a scent that is simultaneously fresh and enveloping.
This fragrance blooms slowly, so apply it lightly in the morning for the full experience. The herbal top notes are fleeting but impactful, while the woody base develops over time. It pairs well with cooler temperatures and is best enjoyed close to skin rather than diffused into a room.
