The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Valentino, Valentina Poudre is a fragrance that captures the essence of powdery elegance and oriental floral notes. Created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, this composition opens with ambrette (musk mallow) and iris, providing a soft, comforting warmth. The heart of tuberose adds an unexpected depth, while vanilla, sandalwood, and tonka bean create a warm, enveloping base. Valentina Poudre is neither loud nor overwhelming but rather a subtle, sophisticated scent that lingers softly on the skin.
Apply this fragrance lightly — its powdery notes build on skin over time. Two sprays to the wrists and neck are enough for it to develop fully, making it perfect for daytime or light evening wear.
