The story behind the bottle.
Rock'n Dreams by Valentino was launched in 2009, crafted by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of floral and powdery notes with an undercurrent of warmth from amber and vanilla. The opening bursts with the freshness of iris and fruity accents, while the heart softens into a velvety mix of violet and powdery florals. The base settles into woody depths, anchored by sweet vanilla and rich amber, creating a scent that is both dreamy and grounded.
Apply one or two sprays on pulse points. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the powdery heart to take center stage as it blends seamlessly into the warm base notes over time.
