Sun cream meets garden herbs
I discovered the three fragrances of the Vallense brand via a traveling letter.
First of all, I would like to say that I was very impressed by the brand, all three fragrances are very niche and creative for me, so for me a "brand to watch", I'm curious to see what else comes out of it. Source is an oud fragrance, but it increasingly transforms into a skin-flattering, spicy honey scent (even though no honey is specified as a note). And Spirit is a green, spicy newcomer.
But now Sun: It starts with a somewhat catchy sun cream fragrance DNA, creamy yellow flowers set the tone, frangipani, ylang-ylang, with tropical-fruity notes mixed in. Beautifully crafted, catchy, very creamy. But there is also a spicy, herbaceous, green side. I read basil, celery, to be honest. I spontaneously conjure up images of a garden in Tuscany where my husband and I went on vacation a few years ago. We had a huge terrace of an agriturismo just for us, facing the kitchen garden, where the landlord cultivated the herbs and vegetables, which were then turned into delicious, simple dishes in the evening. Jasmine bushes and other beguiling flowers also bloomed in the garden. During the day we spent time on the beach, and in the evening we sat on our terrace and enjoyed the smells of this garden.
This memory of the day at the beach and the evening in the garden evokes Sun for me. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes softer and more harmonious, the herbaceous notes mingle with the creamy flowers and the sweet grassy base lingers on the skin for a long time.
This fragrance will not stay with me, but it has brought me back to a beautiful experience. It reminds me of the warmth of the Italian sun and transports me to a happy place. It's nice that a fragrance can do that! The longevity and silage are quite remarkable, and the price point of €225 for 100 ml is not particularly modest.
