PowderyWhat does Valentina Rosa Assoluto smell like?
It opens with raspberry, Taif rose and saffron, where fruity sweetness meets a touch of spice. Bulgarian rose, Rosa centifolia and orange blossom form the floral heart. In the base, caramelized almond, woody notes and patchouli settle it into a powdery, warm sweetness.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. The dense rose and gourmand sweetness suit cooler days and evenings better. The character is distinctly feminine.
