Valentina Pink

I love this perfume so much! It is my all time favorite. I am sooo sad its discontinued and have been rationing my bottle. Its the perfect scent for me. Its jammy rose, strawberry, blackberry, praline perfection. The opening is divine, so good its almost gourmand. I get a light pink bubblegum note mixed in the opening that gently fades. The dry down is soft, creamy Cashmere, sweet rose and tart strawberry. I've been searching for a replacement for months, nothing else compares.

Does nobody else smell the similarity with Delina??? The tart, fruity rose peony with cashmere woods... they are different sure, but gosh the lovely sour note reminds me of Delina so much. Anyway, I used to describe this one as "fruit left to rot in the sun but in a delicious smelling way" because it's fruity, hot, sweet, sour, and slightly indolic. A masterpiece, shame it is discontinued.

God i love this perfume so much, it’s the sweetest jammy rose with a bit of citrus-like tartness from the berries. it’s almost syrupy to my nose but it never gets cloying or sickeningly sweet to me! there’s also some powderiness that comes through in the dry down from the musk but overall valentina pink stays very sweet, fruity, and rosy. on my clothes, it lasts foreverrr and about 6 hours on skin. it’s always one of my first choices for a casual spring day or summer night

gave this one away × loved the rose jam Accord but it's just too bland and linear to smell like Armani Si. Unfortunately It lasted minutes on my skin, I had a full bottle and before the year mark it was under the half Mark, its so fleeting it's frustrating. No way an EDP cannot hold on the heart notes for more than an hour, all there would be left after 60 minutes was faint froot, musk and Woody notes. Way too expensive to be toilet water, thankfully I got It slightly cheap, still tho... should be body spray cheap

As a fan of rose perfume I own Valentina Pink as well as YSL mon Paris, Miss Charming and Rose Jam by Lush. This one is definitely the most delicate, girl of them. Miss Charming is to me sharper, Rose Jam is the strongest in terms of longevity and projection. Mon Paris is much sweeter. Overall Valentina Pink to me is very nice, office friendly and feminine.

It is a jammy rose but something bitter to it. Unpleasant compared to jammy roses that are in MFK scent for example in Oud Satin Mood (I did not like the oud scent but the rose itself was very jammy and addictive). I was hoping this perfume would be just that sweet jammy rose but nope. It has a bit harshness to it like a detergent type background something along with the jammy rose I tried Vinci Ciao Camuto and they are very similar but I find Ciao a bit less intense and slight citrus-y very very slight citrus/tart if you sniff very closely

November's coming! Aren't we all exicited ?! (*heavy sarcasm*) And isn't this the perrrrfect November rose in all it's Scorpio glory! Even if you don't like horoscopes (for whatever reason) this scent associates with some of the (northern hemisphere) images, scents and emotions of the season: The one who spoke of rotten fruits/fermenting berries was spot on! But don't worry too much, as that has been said of some the many incarnations of Armani Si - a much loved classic - so nothing too troubling here, but very much in keeping with the season! And the rose for sure is _not_ fresh! It's almost a gone one, just before the moment that the petals fall off and the water in the vase starts to turn colour and smell - you find these in the graveyards after Allsaint's in November. Bright and heavy in the gloom and gray of the season... There is an almost talcum powdery musk in the drydown, together with something sweet that might smell like the insides of an old black leather handbag of a close relative you're walking the graveyard with. The bottle compliments the scent, a bright neon sign flashing on a a wet asphalt. Lasts looooong on fabric, allday/night on skin, but changes as the hours go by. A very particular scent, not something I would ever wear in May, but definately has it's time and place for all rose lover's.

Syrupy sweet rose. Smells like sweet strawberry syrup, roses, and powder. Very girly and sweet. Lasts for days on clothes.

For me it is a no. It is powdery but it does not mix well with the blackberry and rose notes?

It’s a sweet Berry Rose. I love it so much. The berry fades over time and leaves a sweet rose. I don’t get praline but I get a soft musk when it finally settles but that ROSE Man oh man that rose is perfection I never had a rose perfume before and this is perfection. I love it so much I never thought I’d be a rose girl but with this fragrance I am.

I love this perfume, it's so sweet and I feel like a bowl of berries wearing it haha. Smells like a sunny day in spring.

Cheerful, sweet, candy-like fragrance. Yes, the scent is as pink as it can be. :) It literally smells like strawberry candy with a hint of jammy rose. It doesn´t seem to have the best longevity&sillage, but surprisingly I have been smelling one tiny spritz one myself for several hours already. It´s quite intimate, but we will see how it proceeds with more than one spray. I was lucky enough to get the biggest bottle from a reputable online shop in my country for very little money, so I´m not mad, the scent itself is worth it. All the way, this perfume really makes me happy, such a pink, pretty, feminine scent and unique in my collection, even though I have many sweet perfumes. Very bright. I think it´s going to bloom in spring&summer. :)

Softer, more wearable than West Side. Too much Rose for me...

💖🌹 i am still in awe when it comes to this perfume. this defies the general expectation of flankers and what really got me started with blind-buying fragrances based on notes and names and accords and bottle design (although i must admit, sometimes the accords and notes can be so misleading and certain concoctions of notes blend to form the most unexpected final product, but that's just from my perspective because i'm not a perfumer 😅) there is not much being said about the subtly and yet abundantly eerie emanations of this potion. i think if anyone does not prefer the idea of perfume flankers, i can honestly and wholeheartedly say that you'd be missing out on,.. possibly some really quality signature fragrances out there because some of my absolute favorite perfumes have been flankers, perfect for those who prefer such nuances, mirroring their own personality or... alters. our personas long for these ... 'accidental' exact personalizations, feeding a grandeur need to celebrate our unique creations, polished and fine-tuned by the creator. this is one of those fragrances. at least for me. i have 2 extra bottles and i haven't even finished the first bottle because i love this perfume so much and how much it resonates with me. heavy on the syrupy notes, but they're not as sweet as you might expect with strawberries. dark berries adding a nice noir vibe although it's not the main attraction here but instead is a wonderful addition to a very sickeningly sweet initial spray. the musky notes appear much later but before then there is a rosy incense note and something i absolutely adore about fragrances is unlisted notes that people without a doubt pick up on and incense is quite detectable here, such a nice surprise. the drydown is a plastic doll type of musky fragrance which is responsible for the unsettling vibes and it's what keeps this at my signature perfume because really you can categorize this is a perfume one would purchase at an old toy attic store (which unfortunately doesn't exist unless ed and lorraine are selling their "cursed" items) or a rose incense fragrance you'd find at a crystals and stones boutique, or even at a circus paraphernalia vendor (the plastic cap has KEEP FOR TRAVELLING PURPOSES embossed on it and people sometimes complain about it looking cheap, but i for obvious reasons love this detail). i have been now a somewhat perfume hobbyist for a year and a half, and it's definitely paid off because instead of just haphazardly picking a perfume like in the past or going by what smells the most generically sweet or bright or something like that, my preferences are steadily changing to suit me better and i find myself more partial to weird or slightly eccentric nuanced or even eerie perfumes, all with preferably some romantic tones to them within their own flavor. this perfume though has remained my favorite scent and most resonates with me even through this journey. i hope nobody else chooses to blind-buy pink because i am seeing mostly underwhelming reviews here and honestly, just leave me all the bottles then haha,.. seriously though people don't seem to appreciate or like this fragrance all that much but it is my absolute favorite in terms of what i identify with the most and what i would like to be more of, the perfect balance of characteristics and boy/girl although in no way would i consider this unisex, it's extra girly and pretty powdery even🌹💘🍼💐 i think valentino valentina pink is a wonderful example of perfumers who embrace their darker side through their craft and showcase the beauty of what has to be alchemy or something, because certainly we activate a specific part of our psyche, awakening a sleeping part of ourselves and allowing us to embrace these hidden facets. i would prefer having this perfume forever because to me, it is so perfect and i can't even put into adequate verbiage how much i love this fragrance.

Wore this out today and I knew I was smelling strawberry, Roses and musk. I also smelled blackberries, I am not in love nor is this a like for me…it’s just okay. I honestly would wear this to run errands or to go on walks since it does than last long or projects.

Strawberry Rose and blackberry followed by musk! A simple composition, synthetic and sweet. I didn't get the hype why this so adored! I bought a bottle cause it was pretty. Then I used it during winter. It's very comforting to me. I don't use it outside much. In my idle time, cosy corner, bed time kind of scent. It helps me falling asleep! Great one. Sad it's discontinued!

When I first spray this on my skin it’s all sugar roses, on dry down I get the berries, it is my absolute favorite scent, I swear I had something exactly like this in my childhood, which is probably why I love it. It doesn’t have great longevity but better than beyond romance from RL. I’m so upset this was discontinued and I’ve bought 15 fragrances trying to replace it. I have 1.5 bottles left ( I found one on Amazon about 2 years ago) I use it sparingly now. If you are looking for a dupe, Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper is as close as I’ve found.

This perfume with Jergens Cherry Almond lotion is so good!!

Hmmm. I'm not sure what to make of this fragrance. I just received my sample and tested it for the first time, and it is not the jammy rose I was hoping it would be. It's very powdery, synethetic, and cloyingly sweet. It took me on a bit of a journey, though. My thoughts while wearing were as follows: - Whoa, that's really powdery and synthetic and waaay too sweet! Isn't the opening supposed to be fruity? This just smells like a cheaply scented makeup powder! (30 mins) - Oh, wait, here are the fruits! Okay, I kind of like this. (5 mins) - Okay, I smell the rose, and whoa, it is almost aggressively sexy and erotic-smelling. This is the kind of rose people described Delina as being, even though Delina smelled mature to my nose! (15 mins) - The cloyingly generically-sweet powdery scent is back, yuck. (The rest of my experience with this fragrance)

A jammy opening of strawberry and roses, add a splash of blackberry. Ultra-girly, gourmand, sour, synthetic fruits, reminds me of Montale. Better to use for layering, as I personally find it too sweet and sour on its own. Weak longevity. _____ Projection, sillage, longevity : 5/10 Originality, presentation : 6.5/10 Quality, value : 6.5/10 6/10

Sweet jammy strawberry with a musky finish. It’s a pretty scent, but the projection is non existent. I mainly use this for layering. The bottle is the best thing about this perfume. It’s discontinued, so I use it sparingly… but if I run out… I won’t be upset.

Lovely jammy rose fragrance. I get a burst of strawberry that dries down into strawberry rose jam. Very fun scent to wear. Longevity isn't great though.

You can be fooled by the delicate bottle but this is strog. I smell something alcoholic, like champagne to the fruity floral and projects a lot. Kinda nice. I like it.

This is so similar to Lancome Roses Berberanza, I am shocked no one else has made the comparison. Valentina Pink is slightly less complex with a added synthetic strawberry, but ultimately it is the same fragrance to my nose. Sickeningly sweet syrupy berries and roses with some amber and musl in the base and what my nose picks up as incense. Roses Berberanza wasn't for me, and neither is this one. Something in it makes my stomach churn. Very happy I just bought a 8ml decant instead of dropping the few hundred dollars on a discontinued bottle.

this started as a like. this was not love at first sniff, mostly because i had no idea the direction that my... "style" was going to take, and steadily so. my entire perspective and therefore my preferences, were so underdeveloped then as compared to how well i know myself now, but nevertheless i was quite enthusiastic about receiving this in the mail (3 yrs ago!) and when i first tried it on my wrists, it was so sickeningly syrupy (not what i was looking for at the time because delina exclusif was still at the top of my list with its plush and tart qualities) and jammy that i was almost convinced this perfume was overhyped, though there was something addictive about it. i wasn't crazy over it, but i couldn't stop sniffing my wrists... years later, and after discontinuation, i realize it is underrated and the syntheticness of this perfume is actually part of its appeal. let me tell the story of how i realized this scent is my personal signature. actually a lot of it has to do with my personal evolution in style and preferences which is a reflection of my personality or even persona, but i digress. driving to a metaphysical store one night 🌙 (so already in a specific mood) i decided instead of only my wrists, let me spray my clothes with valentino valentina pink. also it's so crucial to try perfumes again after some weeks, some months, i kid you not sometimes even a year, you know how sometimes, a lot of times, fragrances smell differently after the first few times? went about my night, not-so-frantically searching for this little shop, that i forgot i was wearing perfume.. and here comes this whiff of rose, berries, incense... smoky..... powdery.... wow. my perfume matched the mood and what i was shopping for that day, so i began to like this perfume even more! then, my passions and interests began to take another turn, allowing me to appreciate yet another aspect of this magical, flirtatious, incense, sweet, messed up elixir. it starts as a sickeningly sweet strawberry syrup that's also a bit powdery, with no sharp or cold notes. then dries down to dark berries and roses and incense, and hours later...... here comes the final stage of this scent, it smells like a plastic doll. a strawberry, plastic doll. especially or particularly, in this california heat. colder weather brings out the incense quality although no incense is listed anywhere in the notes, but warmer weather (i feel like warm for perfume standards means any weather condition that isn't a bit chilly 😭)..... plastic doll. love the synthetic and syrupy opening, rosy and strawberry incense drydown, and synthetic finale. my goodness..... for me it's perfection. i think most people will find this to be ok, but i need an infinite supply. i never buy backups but i have an extra bottle of this. it's an absolute love for me. signature. 💗 please: valentino, please never stop manufacturing this, ever. 🙏🏻 pleaaaheeheeease 💗💗💗 i can't begin to tell you how much i love this perfume. i can't seem to find anything else that has every quality i like in one perfume. i love this because it's synthetically sweet and jammy, it's got the rose scent, sweet powder throughout, it has also the incense without being predominantly smokey which is sometimes the issue with incense perfumes, it's just so perfect for me and i am saddened but also kinda glad. this is the perfume that really altered my frame of mind as i identify with it more and more. what i don't mention but is a prominent aspect of this perfume is the dark and uneasy feeling you get from it. it has a rotting sort of feeling, like entering a haunted village or carnival setting, where there are several antagonists and this is the scent of one of them. a lingering sweet scent that can be accurately described as overtly girly but not traditionally feminine. i love it so much and need this forever.

Where can i get it pleeeeease. I loved this years ago.

Ah, the dreaded praline note strikes again to ruin what could have been a fun flirty fruity floral. Valentina Pink is ok but the praline note in the dry down makes it smell a bit cheap. Also strawberry notes can come off fake as well. The only perfume that I have tried w/ a strawberry note that has worked well and doesn't smell fake or cheap is Blousy by Miller Harris. This perfume has a pretty bottle but it is a bit generic and a tad dull. Not enough rose either. Just downgraded to a dislike. It gets more fake as it goes along.

This is juicy jammy berries on an amber-rose bed. The praline is a suggestion, not a focus. I love how the juicy berries become a juicy amber in the drydown-- i didn't know amber could get juicy! This is how I would dream up a berry scent-- dark expressions of the berries with no candy, a clean white amber, minimal sweetness. Something my 46 year old a** can get away with.

I tried this one out a few times when I had a sample and I think this is really underrated! This is a VERY sweet rosey smell but this is not extremely heavy rose. I smell more of the fruits and praline and some rose to explain the note breakdown. The performance is middle of the road. It will last when you wear it and you’ll be able to smell it every now and again. Definitely recommend if you like candy/sweet smells with some rose mixed in.

This is such a beautiful jammy rose, I literally said Mmmmm out loud when I first smelled it❣ And such a pretty bottle, it matches the scent perfectly. Highly recommend!! The fact that Valentino have discontinued it is as stupid as Armani discontinuing Si Fiori!
