Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

The fragrance is truly amazing, it skillfully combines seemingly incompatible notes. Basil and vanilla - that's not so common in perfumery. However, for such a price, I would expect a more lasting effect
5/5

I feel that vanilla clearly dominates here, and herbs create an interesting background. There's some bitterness, but it doesn't spoil it; on the contrary, it adds charm. This fragrance seems to embody a woman who is ready to fight, and at the same time, it creates a special atmosphere
5/5

This perfume, in my opinion, unfolds especially well in summer heat. It smells much softer, but it's important to remember to use it in minimal doses. Considering Sylvaine Delacourte's experience at Guerlain, you can notice that the vanilla in her fragrances really resembles what we know from Guerlain. And the top notes of Valkyrie evoke associations with Shalimar Cologne by Guerlain, which is certainly pleasing. I cherish this fragrance, it's really worth paying attention to! )))

Some kind of fresh scent with vanilla and animalic notes, but in reality, it's just overloaded. This cold wind from the north, which is supposed to be a contrast, only gets in the way. The vanillin here is sweet, of course, but it's like it's trying to suffocate all other notes. Bergamot and lime at the beginning sound too harsh, and this green bitterness only adds discomfort. In the end, you get something that tries to seem complex but is actually just muddled. No vintage feel, just old perfumery trying to be fashionable. Honestly, it reminds me of something from Guerlain, but not in a good way. Overall, I don't know what kind of heroine this is for, but I don't like it 😒

In 2018, Sylvaine Delacourte released a collection dedicated to the vanilla note, consisting of five fragrances. Each of them reveals this important ingredient in its own way. But Valkyrie particularly stands out - it's so rich and deep, with bright citrus and light aromatic vanilla notes. This composition breaks out of conventional frameworks and classifications. Valkyrie, created by Maurice Roucel, combines the familiar and the unexpected, and it will be pleasing not only to its wearer but also to those around them 😔

After several skin tests, I noticed that this fragrance slightly resembles Shalimar. By the way, I have a vintage version, so I haven't compared it to the new one. If it weren't for this similarity, I would definitely buy it. The citrus notes here are simply magnificent, with a slight bitterness that gives them a special charm

This fragrance truly stands out with its originality. At first, it seems like basil, but it smells both fresh and soft. The vanilla is simply amazing! It lasts about four hours on the skin, and the sillage isn't too intrusive, but very pleasant. Overall, it's a fragrance that gives confidence and positive emotions ))

Vanilla citruses in greenery - that's what comes to mind when I think of this fragrance. There's a bit of bitterness and a slight sharpness, which makes it quite interesting. A feeling of freshness and joy, as if walking through a sunny garden
5/5

The play with vanilla and mint really grabs attention. First, you feel the freshness of mint, it seems to refresh and set the tone for the entire fragrance 🌿 Then the mint notes gradually fade, and vanilla comes to the forefront, which has a slight bitterness but simultaneously creates a cozy feeling. This fragrance is truly unusual and memorable 💖
5/5

What a fragrance this is! It has become a real favorite in my collection. It's simply an explosion of emotions: vanilla, woody notes, a bit of incense, and spicy herbs - all in one bottle. It sounds very appealing, and the combination is simply gorgeous. The sillage isn't too intrusive, and the longevity is pleasing - even after a shower, it still stays with you. A true pleasure!
5/5

Simply amazing! You definitely have to try this cocktail of vanilla, bergamot, and bitter citruses. You don't often find such a combination. The fragrance is both delicate and has a bright character ))
