What does Valentina Myrrh Assoluto smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads clearly feminine, though the spicy, oriental tones take it beyond a soft floral.

Ylang-ylang and Jasminum auriculatum carry the floral side, while vanilla and musk settle it into a creamy, sweet base. Myrrh adds a resinous depth, and leather leaves a faint leathery trace behind it. With no top-to-base split in its notes, it reads as one warm, powdery, dense whole from start to finish. Carolina Herrera CH Privée and Xerjoff Opera have a close profile.
