Valjues · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Synthetic

Valjues 12 | Twelve is a soft, lightly powdery unisex scent that pairs fresh laundry and cashmere with a floral touch, leaning towards spring and summer days. It opens on jasmine, then moves into fresh laundry, ISO-E-Super and cashmere at the heart. Musky notes in the base settle it onto a creamy, gentle footing. The overall impression is fresh, powdery and slightly woody, with a clean, synthetic feel running through it. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office far more than evenings or nights out. More voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine. Molecule 01 + Iris and Courrèges C have a close profile.

Cotton candy and vanilla carry the sweetness, with a creamy softness running through it. Oud and cashmere add a woody, smoky and spicy depth, and ambergris rounds out the oriental feel. Initio Side Effect and Mozaick Othman have a close profile.

Dusk till Dawn - 8 PM

7.2

Valjues · 2023

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Valjues Dusk till Dawn - 8 PM is a unisex scent that sets a sweet, spicy character on a woody, earthy base. Its longevity and sillage both rate as good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It leaves a dark, warm impression that suits evening hours, and it reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine. Black pepper opens with a dry, spicy edge. The heart holds patchouli and liqueur: the liqueur brings the sweetness, while patchouli adds an earthy weight. The base of amber, sandalwood and vetiver follows: amber gives warmth, sandalwood a soft woodiness, and vetiver a dry, earthy air. Penhaligon's Marylebone Wood and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.
