What makes Spirit of Valencia unique
Bright apple-citrus opening
The apple brings a rare crunchy facet, juicier than a simple citrus start.
An elaborate bouquet of white flowers
Jasmine and gardenia give the heart a sunny, creamy fullness, very elegant on warm skin.
Rose & peony in relief
Rose and peony add a romantic, modern touch that prevents the floral from becoming too white or too linear.
Balanced amber-musky base
Amber, sandalwood and musk prolong the fragrance without weighing it down, maintaining a clean, refined signature.
Mediterranean spirit
The fragrance evokes a sunny, colorful city open to the sea: lively, luminous and sophisticated.
8 h of dress
For a fruity floral, staying power is remarkable thanks to the concentration of perfume extract and the woody-musky base.
Strong but polished wake
Diffusion is clean and present, yet elegant - ideal for a premium daily signature.
New-generation mixed
Neither too feminine floral, nor too masculine woody: Spirit of Valencia finds a truly universal point of balance.
