Is Valkyrie better suited for warm or cold weather?+−
It is exceptionally balanced, making it suitable year-round. The mint and lime provide necessary freshness for summer and spring, while the benzoin and sandalwood base provide enough body to hold up during autumn and winter.
How does the mint note behave in this fragrance?+−
The American curly mint is prominent in the opening but it is not a "toothpaste" style mint. It acts as a cooling aromatic that lifts the citrus notes and provides a crisp contrast to the creamy vanilla base.
Is this a feminine or masculine leaning fragrance?+−
Valkyrie is strictly unisex. The herbal basil and galbanum provide a masculine-leaning aromatic edge, while the vanilla and sandalwood offer a creamy sweetness traditionally associated with feminine perfumery, resulting in a perfectly centered composition.
How does this compare to other fragrances in the Sylvaine Delacourte Vanilla Collection?+−
Valkyrie is considered one of the most aromatic and fresh options in the line. It is less spicy and dense than Vangelis and more citrus-forward and woody than the floral-leaning Vahina.
