Woody-Powdery Cherry Lipstick
The scents from Valjues are special, not all of them are to my taste, and the bottles with their modern, naturally minimalist design are a matter of preference. Somehow, the brand has something, and the appearance of a whole series with numbers in the same look and different fragrance categories recently piqued my curiosity at the airport, prompting me to sniff through them.
I already knew 12 | Twelve - I had previously smelled a sample from it that had initially convinced me. A really very nice clean scent with beautiful musk, which unfortunately becomes a bit too sharp and prickly in my nose over time, causing headaches. Still, it is a high-quality and special, molecular scent.
Okay, back to the airport. So, before the flight, I happily sprayed a few different Valjues on the test strip, but since I already own so many gourmands that I really like, I was somehow in the mood for something different. And then came No. 7! This one really surprised me completely. I have tested a lot in my fragrance career by now, but I must admit that I have never smelled a scent that smells like this. I already found it super beautiful and pleasant on the test strip... a bit powdery, slightly fruity, bright, creamy, a little smoky, and somehow just interesting. We were already sitting at the gate when I decided to go back and spray the scent on myself. The whole time on the plane, I had to sniff my wrist and thought at that moment that I would probably always think back to the vacation whenever I smell this fragrance, as it is somehow so memorable. I was totally happy that I managed to get a bottle of the scent at the souk, and I was already looking forward to coming home during the vacation to wear it.
Back home, the scent develops a clean warmth on me, the powderiness fades, and the woodiness then comes forward very softly in combination with a subtle cherry note. However, I would never describe the scent as a cherry scent. I don’t find the cherry to be that authentic, and the other notes distract from it. For me, it is not fruity at all, but really a soft and sensual scent, as it is also described. I actually think that the scent works well as a signature for work, as it has a somewhat polished cleanliness to it, yet this slightly smoky component is there, making it somehow niche and subtly sexy. This sweet-smoky note has bothered me at work on some days, especially in the dry down. On other days, however, I find the scent so incredibly wonderful that I could melt away. I think it has something incredibly attractive and something totally special. It is an elegant scent, and I see it more on modern, casually fashionable people who like it "clean".
Three sprays are absolutely sufficient for the whole day. However, you should definitely test it beforehand. This is not a blind buy candidate! :-)
