Valentino Variety

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet.

It opens on green notes, peach and basil, moves through hiacynth, lily-of-the-valley and jasmine, and settles on oakmoss, musk and civet.

• green notes: a general greenness rather than any one leaf or herb
• peach: soft and sweet with a fuzzy edge, more like the skin than the juice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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