Valentino New

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on calabrian bergamot, moves through coffee, and settles on vetiver.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• coffee: roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
