The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Valentino, Valentina Blush is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women created by perfumer Alexis Dadier. The composition opens with the vibrant tartness of sour cherry and pink pepper, leading to a heart of orange blossom that adds floral sweetness. This is followed by praline and vanilla notes, which ground the scent in warm nutty and lactonic tones. Valentina Blush captures the essence of modern femininity, blending fresh fruitiness with rich gourmand elements.
Apply Valentina Blush with two sprays to ensure the sour cherry and pink pepper notes are balanced by the rich vanilla and nutty base. It's best for daytime wear, where its gourmand elements blend well with the warmth of the sun.
