Valentina Acqua Floreale
by Valentino
Valentina Acqua Floreale opens with a crisp, bright citrus burst of bergamot and orange blossom, creating a clean and fresh aura. The core of white florals—jasmine, mimosa, neroli, and tuberose—unfurls with a creamy, softly powdery sweetness, evoking a sun-drenched Mediterranean garden. As it develops, the fragrance warms into a delicate oriental base of amber and subtle patchouli, lending depth without heaviness. The scent is light, intimate, and elegant, with a soft sillage that lingers only for a few hours. It feels like a springtime memory—freshly cut flowers, sunshine, and quiet elegance. It’s ideal for daytime wear, particularly in warm weather, and suits those who appreciate a refined, feminine floral that feels safe and restrained.
