Valentino's NEW Valentina Assoluto

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

When the season and the weather changes, I rotate more than just the clothes in my closet and my footwear. I change up everything! My choices for makeup shades, skincare, home fragrance, and perfume change, too. While I often love bringing out my tried-and-true personal fragrance favorites, I also love adding something new to my perfume collection. 

Enter the latest incarnation of the classic Valentia fragrance: Valentina Assoluto! Valentino Parfums created a more sensual and seductive version of the Valentina scent. This lovely scent is sophisticated and ultra feminine. This intoxicating floral is an intense fragrance with an elegant vibe. I feel so "put together" and classic when I wear this lovely scent.

Valentina Assoluto stands for a modern heiress who knows how to play with her sensual aura, slightly provocative and dramatic in her attitude that reflects her precious and intense femininity.

Notes:

• Top: The alluring frutiness of a sensual Smeggia Peach enhanced with the luxurious Alba truffle.
• Middle: The magnetism of a precious boquet of white flowers (Jasmine, Tuberose, Orange Blossom) magnified by a delicate vanilla. 
• Base: The mystery of a voluptuous Chypre signature, fusion of magnetic patchouli, oak moss, and vibrant cedar wood.

As with all the Valentina fragrances, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous! The flat and round glass bottle is decorated with a single nude colored flower. This bottle looks beautiful on my dresser! It is certainly a bottle that you will want to display. The perfume liquid is tinted a darker caramel shade.

The Skinny:

• Valentina Assoluto launches on April 1st! 
• Retail Price: $117 for 2.7 oz and $88 for 1.7 oz. A "Mother's Day" set will be available for $117 that contains a 2.7 oz EDP Spray and a 6.8 oz Body Lotion). 
• Where to Buy: Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, and Bergdorf Goodman

Do you switch up your fragrance each season? What are you looking forward to wearing for the warmer months?

Thanks so much for reading!
XOXO!!!

Scrumptious Scents: Valentino Valentina (Fragrance Review)

This scent is just gorgeous! Not only is the bottle beautiful, but also the scent is remarkably lovely. To me, it is a soft and powdery floral. It evokes an image of an elegant and feminine lady with a classic style. The scent is delicate and feminine just like the bottle would imply. There is an expensive feel to this perfume. It makes me want to wear a classic LBD, high heals, big sunglasses, and some pearls.

Valentina Eau de Parfum by Valentino 
Valentina is beautiful and radiant with charms belonging to a modern heiress. She’s seductive, sophisticated, unconventional, and charismatic and creates her own style. From this sensual, insolent beauty, this blatant femininity that eludes conventions, two master perfumes, Olivier Cresp and Alberto Morillas, created a fragrance as a tribute to today’s Valentino woman.  

With attitude, sophistication and unexpected characteristics, the bouquet of Valentina blends an irreverent Italian floral oriental in which each facet reveals a paradox. Calabrian bergamot is a hymn to exuberance and freshness, shaken up by the insolence of white Alba truffles.  In their trail, jasmine, Amalfi orange blossom and tuberose celebrate radiant beauty while being offset by the rebellious delight of wild strawberries.  Finally, the nobility of cedar is seduced by the captivating sensuality of amber.

The Skinny:

• Available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Saks, and Nordstrom
• Parfum: $80 (1.7 oz) and $108 (2.7 oz). Also available: Velvet Shower Gel $42, Satin Body Milk $48, and Coming Soon: Body Oil $45 (September 2012!)

This is the type of scent that I can wear year-round. The more that I wear this scent, the more I enjoy it!
