My Exclusive Collection Aqua Vallis is a unisex scent that links a bright opening of pink pepper, cardamom and mandarin to a sweet, resinous base of vanilla, patchouli and labdanum; it has been discontinued.

What does Aqua Vallis smell like?

It opens with mandarin citrus sharpened by pink pepper and cardamom. In the heart, frankincense, Madagascar pepper and rose come forward. As it dries, patchouli, musk, vanilla and labdanum take over, and the scent turns sweet, creamy and powdery, with a faintly smoky, earthy woodiness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and about three quarters of voters find the staying power high, though the vote count is small. Its gourmand, oriental build suits men and women alike. Jovoy Psychédélique and Lanselle Pique have a close profile.
