The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013 by Valentino, Valentina Acqua Floreale was crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a bright citrus burst from bergamot and orange blossom before transitioning into the heart of jasmine, mimosa, and tuberose. The base notes of amber and patchouli add warmth and depth, creating a harmonious blend that feels both fresh and enveloping. Valentina Acqua Floreale captures the essence of Italian elegance with its crisp yet floral profile, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

How to wear it

This EDT is best applied in the morning for its full effect. One or two sprays are sufficient as the citrus notes are bright but quickly give way to the floral heart. It pairs well with light clothing layers and works best during cooler weather when the warmth of the base notes can be fully appreciated.
