Valero
Cardamom and grapefruit open together in a way that feels both spiced and clean, the citrus keeping the spice from feeling heavy. Iris in the heart adds a cool powdery quality that lavender and geranium soften from around the edges. Vetiver and sandalwood at the base land dry and grounded, without the sweetness that sinks a lot of contemporary fougeres.
Why We Carry This
Valero sits in the cleaner register of the Parfums de Marly catalog, a cardamom-led aromatic fougere that wears with a lot of ease. Useful across seasons and temperatures in a way most new releases are not.
