The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1998, Very Valentino by Daniela Andrier is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of femininity and elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, which blend seamlessly into the heart of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine, creating a delicate floral bouquet. This is further enhanced by the subtle earthiness of tarragon and rosemary, adding depth and complexity to the scent. As it settles on the skin, Very Valentino reveals a powdery and woody base with musk, sandalwood, vanilla, and amber that provides warmth and comfort.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays on pulse points for an even release throughout the day. The citrus top notes are vibrant but fade within an hour, so allow the powdery and woody base to develop fully before reapplying.
