The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Valentino and crafted by perfumer Alberto Morillas, this Eau de Parfum is a composition that balances freshness with warmth. The fragrance opens with pomelo and pear blossom, creating an ozonic and citrusy top note that feels crisp and invigorating. As the scent develops, it transitions into a heart of magnolia, mimosa, and orange blossom, which adds a lush floral sweetness. In its base, vanilla orchid and heliotrope introduce a powdery and lactonic richness that lingers softly on the skin.
One or two sprays are sufficient as this fragrance has a good longevity and builds gradually on the skin. The ozonic top notes fade within an hour but leave behind a lingering powdery warmth that lasts throughout the day.
