Valhalla
Valhalla opens with mango and pear, mandarin orange and bergamot giving the tropical fruit accord a citrus brightness that keeps it from reading as purely sweet. Egyptian jasmine arrives in the heart with a richness that cashmere wood and cedar give structure, the floral-wood combination warm and softly masculine in character. The amber base is dense: amberwood, amber, tonka bean, and the proprietary Ambrostar note creating a warmth that holds the tropical fruit of the opening in memory long after the mango-pear has resolved into something deeper.
Why We Carry This
The Ambrostar accord in the Valhalla base is the technical specificity that distinguishes this from comparable mango-amber constructions. The cashmere wood and Egyptian jasmine heart gives the tropical opening genuine substance, and the amber-tonka base has the warmth and longevity that a Norse-named fragrance should deliver.
