Valentino Voce Viva Intensa

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on mandarin orange and bergamot, moves through orange blossom and jasmine sambac, and settles on bourbon vanilla and moss.

• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

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.
