Fragrance Review : Valentina Poudre by Valentino

~ Zahra S ~ Leave a comment

VALENTINA POUDRE


Invisible and impalpable, it delicately envelops the body in a romantic, passionate mist, making it all that more sensuous, feminine and recognizable. Valentina Poudre, the new fragrance of Valentina, lays a mysterious veil of ethereal notes upon the materiality of the senses.

With Valentina Poudre, Valentino brings the makeup concept to fragrances, transforming the scent into an invisible materialization of the Maison’s world of beauty.
Valentina Poudre is delicate yet determined, ethereal and sensitive. Its sensuous sophistication also emerges through the design of the round bottle in a subtle shade of nude – more a sensation than a color – embellished with a distinctive three-dimensional sculptural flower. Like a second skin that every woman dreams of, it protects and enhances the natural skin, celebrating its ethereal and material qualitie

Top notes :- accord of terracotta powder
Heart notes :- iris and tuberose
Base notes :- vanilla and sandalwood

Valentina Poudre by Valentino is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women launched in 2016.

My thoughts:-

This fragrance is an absolute gem lovely, delicate scent, I can describe it as “Powdery-Floral” and also as Seductive weapon for me 😀

All the notes are blended very well especially the combination of “terra-cotta powder & vanilla” that makes this a cozy and cuddly scent, with a semi-hidden sexy edge. scent which warm up yourself in a cold days or “date night” 😉

If you don’t like powdery perfumes (like me) then you have to try this one, I however happen to love them , I am particularly fond of musky-floral, therefore this is a match made in heaven for me.
❤️I absolutely love it & trust me I always carry this in my bag because it’s Alluring and addictive scent!!

Longevity is awesome (6+ hours) and the sillage is moderate.
Overall,I am VERY pleased with this scent. Cozy , warm ,with a twist of sexy. It’s not overpowering. Perfection in a bottle and I cannot stop smelling myself!

This is a masterpiece,Thankyou Maison Valentino ❤️
The nose behind this fragrance is Aurelien Guichard

The retail price for the 80 ML fragrance is AED 485

When FACEMasks Special Package – Review

Just found wonderful masks that works amazing 😍

Its has been my holy grail product for quite some time now..
Skin just soaks up the product leaving my face silky smooth. My skin is refresheed after every use!

I found the cuts in the mask were helpful to make sure it was in contact with as much of my skin as possible.
After taking off the mask, you’re supposed to let the residue soak in to your skin. At first the residue feels a little heavy and waxy but it soon soaks in and my skin felt and looked much softer.
Its officially  “my time” home pamper session..

This is a great product for summer /winter Basically for every skin type!!
They all have different kinda smell to it but guys trust me the scent really had nothing to do with it’s amazing hydrating properties.
This face mask feels soothing and calming, especially if applied cool from the fridge.
These are perfect to pack and take with you when traveling.
