What does Valkyrie smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it suits leisure and daytime wear best, with evening and office use close behind. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens bright with Comorian basil, American curly mint, Calabrian bitter orange and Brazilian lime. Persian galbanum adds a green heart. The base of Indian sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla absolute and benzoin turns it sweet and creamy. Chabaud Orangerie Musicale and Memo Paris Sintra have a close profile.
