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.

Warm embrace, this is how I would describe the first spray of Valentina Acqua floreale. On my skin, this fragrance is warm and oriental, mostly amber and light vanilla traces. I cannot feel the orange or the bergamot, but instead, after a few minutes, I can sense jasmine and the fragrance becomes creamy, powdery and soft. It reminds me of Ajmal Shine, and I am pretty sure that I also owned another perfume resembling it. It is not outstanding or out of the ordinary, but it is nice and safe to wear, especially in chilly weather. I wouldn't say it s boring, but it is not extraordinary either. After 10minutes or so, the fragrance settles to plain soft powder, not unpleasant, but somehow old or so.

I've had this for a while, every now and then the charming bottle calls to me and I'll spray and spray...and spray. This perfume is so soft that I feel I have to reapply constantly. It's an enchanting scent, the orange blossom and bergamot are beautifully fresh and so well blended with pretty mimosa. The jasmine and neroli round off this fragrance perfectly. This juice IS incredibly delicate but subtlety is not a bad thing, I'm sure we've all been trapped near someone wearing a monster fragrance- not an experience I enjoy nor would want to inflict on anyone else. This is delightful and feminine but sits extremely close to the skin and for me at least, has to be reapplied frequently.

A very welcome fresher Valentina. Floral version, orange flower centered with strong bergamot opening that's lasting a long while. Mimosa softens it, jasmin and tuberose are peeking, but gently from the heart. Canvas is ambery. This is a very bridal bouquet. Summer-safe. The heart of the scent is lovely and well-blended with certain solar quality. It is gentle, at this stage it does resemble Valentina classic still, but only in sketches. It is a standalone and worth having if you like Valentina aesthetic. I always like this scent on me, it's nice and feminine. I can feel it on my skin the next day after application it clearly lasts more than 12 hours.

My dad bought me this perfume at the airport. At first sniff there is a very harsh mix of citrus and powder scents that hits you in the face but it not unpleasant. However, the sharpness of the bergamot makes my throat scratchy, to the point where I have stopped wearing it. It is one of those scents that you keep smelling on yourself, even though the sillage isn't very powerful. I left my bottle in its box in a dark cupboard for a couple of years and basically forgot about it. It is a nice scent if you like citrussy florals, but it is definitely not a must-have.

Notes: bergamot, orange blossom that mingle with the heart of neroli, mimosa, tuberose and jasmine. The base is oriental, made of amber and patchouli. For some reason, immediately after I spritz, my mouth waters with this one! I think my brain is interpreting an effervescent note. Once the scent quiets down after about 5 min, I’m left with a clean, simple, beautiful, elegant fragrance that’s perfect for work or romance and anything in between. It’s ultra feminine, for all the ladies who like pinks and purples and ruffles and bows... and bouquets of flowers!

Valentina Acqua Floreale never passed through my radar, lucky for me my dear friends gifted it to me for Xmas. It is a bright blend of mimosa and jasmine, with a good performance in both sillage and longevity. The bottle is so pretty that don't stop to admire it. A beautiful discovery!

Nice! I will say this can be a nice transitional summer to fall perfume or winter to spring. First spritz is very floral than it dries to something very elegant. It reminds me of 90s floral perfumes. I like it. My only con is that it's not long lasting. :(

عطری گرم و شیرین و گلی و پودری که گهگاه نسیم خنکی و مرکباتی هم از پس روایح عطر رو کمی شاداب میکنه ولی بعد از مدتی این بوی مرکباتی هم محو میشه و فقط بوی گل و روایح شیرین و گرم رو احساس خواهید کرد پخش و ماندگاری بسیار خوبی داره

This is light and very pleasant, especially for a couple of hours after application. Then, it turns into a stronger strawberry scent on my skin. Not bad, but perhaps a bit too sweet for me. Great longevity, soft sillage.

It was love at first sight with this pretty bottle〜❤︎ I feel myself feminin when applying from head to toe. Very fresh inoffensive white floral with belgamot. Thank god that patchouli is not too strong. I like this!

This smells VERY similar to Valentino Valentina to me. Maybe a bit lighter & fresher, but nearly the same. It's a nice scent, but nothing spectacular. Sits very close to the skin and doesn't last long.

Very good and Very sweet for a no vanilla scent. It reminds me strongly of Nina Nina Ricci. I wanted to buy it straight away but decided to finish the Nina bottle first, since the emotion is the same.

It smells for 10 minutes and then it's gone! I couldn't even understand what that smell.

Bears no resemblance to the original Valentina - it's a weak, basic fragrance that reminds me of the chewable orange children's aspirins I used to take as a youngster. Disappointing, as I like the first two in the range.

Beautiful MIX between jasmin and orange blossom, romantic yet fresh and creamy, I wish it lasts on my skin, but it lasts for (2-3) hours, max.

Nice and refreshing, very close to la petite robe noire eau fraiche

It could be that I've got a dodgy bottle (ordered online) or it's my body chemistry but I am very disappointed with this one. I am a huge lover of white florals but unfortunately I get nothing floral here... After the initial blast of alcohol it becomes an unpleasant sharp, sour, powdery medicinal smell. I love Valentino but Valentina Acqua Floreale just doesn't work for me.

Not one of my favorites. The original wasn't either, but I wanted to give it a try. Yellow and white floral, not sharp, but something is still bothering me. The composition of all of those flowers seems weird to me. It smells dusty and dirty somehow. Not an easy-going perfume. Definitely florale, but not nice.

NOPE not for me. This one opens like the original Valentina and then develops into an aromatic slightly herbal fragrance, which I do not like. (It is an intresting twist to the original and freshens up the very ordinary Valentina scent. I love the original Valentina and its` ordinaryness)

This is a lot more generic than I was expecting. The florals are pleasant, but not outstanding, especially considering the price. If you need something fresh and extra light to wear for work, this could be ideal for you.

I can't believe there is no magnolia in this! It smells like a creamy light floral. It's ok, not ground breaking and It reminds me of several other perfumes. A bit like a lighter version of Anais Anais to my nose.

Very similar to original. But almost the same exept that strawberry note, this is more about soft jasmin, very very sweet flowers and strong patchouli. For me this is too strong, not fresh.

Crazy mix of intense flowers. I've expected something a lot subtler. I can't imagine what happens if someone over-sprays it in hot summer.

Sadly too sweet for me just like the original :( On the plus side it lasts well on my skin :)

Yep it's a watery floral. More water than floral zzzz

Patchouli note is one of biggest.

Initially, on my skin it smells quite similar to and is definitely of the same ilk as Flowerbomb. The main difference being that this is more floral, less brash, and is much lighter with very little sillage. At first spray I was convinced that there was some lily of the valley in here, but it's not listed in the notes. I do sense the mimose & neroli as it develops; with orange blossom & sweet jasmine. But overall this is a very creamy, light, scent. Predominantly sugary, syrupy white flowers. Ten minutes in, it becomes quite soapy and clean smelling. Overall, It's a little over-sweet for my taste. The creamy vanilla in the background keeps this nice and smooth, though. Not bad at all. Soft and Springtime suitable. The fragrance is a faint skin scent & lasted for only around 2 hours on me, but I gave my sample vial to my mother and it was an instant love affair, which she has reminded me of three times just in case I didn't notice... Hint, hint.

When sprayed on paper, this perfume comes across as quite dry, the bergamot cuts through quite strongly. On the skin however it's a totally different love story! The white flowers dominate at first, but on drydown the patchouli and mimosa start to nudge their way in and start weaving their way through the white flowers and making an intriguing mix. I thought that I might not care for this, because my only other Valentino perfume is Very Valentino which is totally different. I like it though, it doesn't scream for attention, it just drifts gently through my senses, I get a different aspect of its character every time I sniff my skin.

This perfume was love on first sight to me. I absolutely love it. I would describe it as a hot summer in Italy watching sunset and drinking wine. The scent is really warm and I wear it all year long. It is suitable for every occasion, but I rather wear it ocassionally, because I do not want to get used to this smell. I smell mostly orange blosoom and jasmine with some vanilla. Something gives the scent a little bit of a freshness, maybe some orange note. But I really regret that I havent bought enough bottles when I still could because it is not avalable any more in my country.

I love the bottles of the Valentina range, and bought this one primarily for that reason, because I find the original full strength fragrances just too strongly floral. Has no lasting power to speak of, couple of hours maximum, it's a fragrance for someone who likes a clean, fresh, white floral that won't overwhelm them for hours. Creates the aura of a Mediterranean summer evening. It's a bit on the expensive side for such a fleeting experience. If you are on a budget, L'Occitane or Roger & Gallet would be better ranges to investigate.

Starts citrussy but very creamy floral I'd say most dominant is tuberose - which has a very distinct creamy buttery vintage vibe. Rest of the florals jasmine orange blossom there too but to my nose it's mostly tuberose. I love it, not my genre but tuberose has a vibe i've always liked (not liked wearing, but i love it on others.) Something about it reminds me of lou lou blue too (perhaps the tuberose!)

I have a friend who likes very inoffensive, subtle perfumes and this would be perfect for her. There is no strong scent of perfume as such - it just creates a lovely pleasant clean aura around you. The florals are very delicate and would be perfect for a innocent, sweet soul. Longevity is not too bad either. For someone like me though, unfortunately this is a bit too subtle to warrant a purchase.

Tried it yesterday in a department store... I was expecting a watered down version of Valentina but thank God it isn't! It's actually a more fresh, ozonic/earthy version of the original with just the same basis! Nothing sharp but very pleasant! I really liked it even though I'm not into "fresh" scents! This would be perfect for a hot summer where the original may be to sticky!

Tested this last night & I agree it smells so feminin but I didn't bring the paper strip with me home to sniff it better. I'll give this another try next month. update: This is definitely on my must try list as I can't find a fragrance for an event I want to attend soon. Once I try it & bring the tester home I'll come back with a review.

Reminds me of the scent of a flower shop. Freshly cut flower stems, white flowers with a powdery, sweet background. I'm thinking of lilies for some reason. This is very fresh and kind of soapy but it gets a little bit warmer and rounder in the drydown. This will be a great spring perfume! It sits very close to skin on me.

Very pretty,nothing granny at all!! I liked the first Valentina and Floreale isnt that different, it is pretty , unique , light yet it has nice longevity!!! it is a great creation by Cresp, a luminous feminine scent, easy to wear the base is warmer, a bit more earthy, with a touch of brightness, and class.Lovely!!

Without checking the notes, I thought of fresh flowers like fresias mixed with lilac which is intense yet cooling. Overall, this is a very pretty floral, I'd wear it in summer for all 'floral' occasions like afternoon teas, weddings, grandma's Sunday lunch, family birthdays. Shame that longevity is poor.

i went to the"parfumerie" today and they give me a sample.... i absolutely love this scent.... it smell good on me... i can smell flowers... green applealso... i absolutely love the sweetness of this scent...its unique and very feminine....im gonna buy it soon...

This is a beautiful perfume. Floral but not heavy. Good for everyday use. The only perfume that i can wear longer. Some perfumes have nice scents but after 1 week of using i get bored of smelling it. But this one is really good.

In my country , when we speak slang, we have a certain expression when something is just ok , or just NOT all that . So I'm gonna define this perfume in slang. Floral, pretty , cute , clean , feminine. 'Nothing Wow'.

very femininity and elegant scent, and the citrusy should have represented a little girl's natural naughty feeling. but the citrusy fragrance is too heavy which totally break the whole fragrance.

Why you people vote notes already even fragrance didnt come out ?! Write your opinions here dont do wrong votes even you didnt smell one sniff.. It is really repulsive .

The notes look similar to Flowerbomb; I bet it will carry the same sweetness..or it could go the other way and be a powdery floral.

Clean Fresh,smells like just after-shower. Bright and sparkling citrus and white florals not so stereotype-sophisticated

Wonderful Pure smell of Jasmine Feminine elegant Smelled more beautiful than the first Valentina (three roses)
