Real talk
This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
This is the Valentina that went somewhere the original was afraid to. The truffle opening is polarizing, earthy, almost savory, nothing like the soft floral the 2011 version promised.Valentina Assoluto
