Blackcurrant and citrus open Perfumers Choice Valerie Perfume bright and immediately tart, a crisp fruity rush that gives little hint of the warmth waiting further into the composition. Coffee and orange blossom carry that tartness into unusually warm, floral middle territory, the coffee note especially giving this fragrance real distinction from typical fruity florals nearby. Vanilla, cedar, and patchouli ground the dry down in rich, comforting depth that lingers gently on skin for many hours after the fruit above has settled. Daytime elegance and evening plans both suit this fruity floral Eau De Parfum equally well, genuinely versatile in a way many perfumes rarely manage. Milton Lloyd built something distinctive here, tart at first and unmistakably warm by the time it finishes settling on skin.
