Valentina Acqua Floreale

I love this. Been on the search for a floral but there is always something off with them for me, but this one is perfect, just so so lovely. My friend smelled it on me and said it smelled "normal". Well, maybe it is, if you consider just flowers "normal" but I have yet to discover a perfume that has been so successful in bottling flowers so well. To me it's just beautiful. I think you have to smell a lot of perfumes to appreciate this one. It's not that easy to get this so right. Just crossing my fingers that the longevity is ok on me next time I try, if so, I will be buying. Update: this last long enough for me! So delicious, I bought it. Together with the bottle it makes me think of a beautiful vanilla chocolate wedding cake topped with flowers. But nothing is too sweet or overpowering.

Oh... So heavenly beautiful! I wore this for my wedding in August 2013 and I was very happy with my choice. They are heavenly drops, very special and lavish to me, so I've been saving them for the best occasions, but I wear it more and more now. It is such a gorgeous fragrance, and it gives a really exclusive and special feeling/atmosphere. Not just because of my personal memories with it, but because of the exclusive character of the fragrance itself. It's feminine, luxurious, fragile yet confident and so beautiful and carefree. Makes me feel like a VIP, no actually, even better, like a princess. How can I explain? It makes me feel rich, graceful and beautiful. It fills the air gently, but yet so intoxicatingly... mmmmmm...... Thanks Valentino! I love this fragrance!

I don't like citrusy perfumes - but this is beautiful. It's similar to Valentina EDP but way fresher and younger. I tested it on my skin today: As I said the opening is very fresh and young. * Then, about 30 minutes later it gets a bit fresh/creamy spicy. * After some minutes later it dries down to a wonderful - dreamy - romantic - white floral scent. but very grown up. It's a shame that it doesn't last long - on my skin only about 2h!! I guess that's THE perfume for spring - when you're out for a walk or also in the morning when the sun comes up and you're lying in the bed with your boy.

I'm in love with this fragrance... It's clear, fresh and so lovely. It smells amazing. It begins with fresh citrus juice and white flowers. Then it gets warmer and makes you feel a lovely woman. its romantic... <3

As well as the starring bergamot and orange blossom, I think there is also a zesty lemon note, making the fragrance fresh and sharp for the first ten minutes. I normally dislike perfumes with tuberose as I find it heavy and migraine inducing, so it nice to ind a fragrance including it that I can wear. It is actually the watery orange blossom note that is the strongest, followed quickly by the neroli, which combines with the remaining citrus notes perfectly for a soapy undertone. After a few hours Valentina Acqua Floreale transforms from a citrussy floral to a warm oriental, as the sweet amber and earthy patchouli mixes nicely with the spicy neroli and warms up the reminder of the fragrance, for a starting contrast to the freshness of the beginning. Valentina Acqua Floreale is 'nice' and I will happily continue to use my bottle, but this isn't a fragrance I'd choose to buy for myself; it's ageless, easy to wear and is unoffensive to other people. On the downside; it is a bit too safe and generic, and it doesn't wear for long, which is disappointing for the price.
