From your scent profile
Valentino Club couture is a unisex scent that opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and bitter orange, then softens into fig and orange blossom absolute.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

PowderyWhat does Club couture smell like?
Citrus leads the top. In the heart, fig, orange blossom absolute and orris root bring a fruity, floral sweetness with a powdery softness. The base of cedarwood, musk and Balinese patchouli settles it onto a green, woody ground.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. Its light, citrus-led build suits both men and women. Yves Rocher Secrets d'Essences - Neroli and Prada Infusion de Figue have a close profile.
