Voce Viva
Voce Viva by Valentino is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2020 in the designer price tier. It opens with mandarin and bergamot, moves into orange blossom, jasmine and gardenia and dries down to vanilla, white musk and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
