BEST SELLER ALERT 🚨
WHAT’S IN IT?
This warm scent's creamy goodness lies in how the vanilla was harvested. Collected by hand, the vanilla beans are dried in the sun for up to seven weeks. Then, they are stored in wooden boxes to mature and develop their sweet signature aroma. That trio of vanilla in different strengths is mixed with lavender, cocoa and ginger root.
WHY DO WE LIKE IT?
It’s warm and sweet without being overpowering or cloying. The addition of lavender adds a woody appeal. Its luxe-rich quality makes it perfect to wear on a warm sunny day, and that hint of woody intrigue makes it a no-brainer for nighttime wear. You can't go wrong with this scent if you are looking for a grown-up take on what could be a timeless vanilla-laced fragrance.

Why Modern Perfumes Don’t Smell the Same Anymore (and How Independent Perfumery Brings Back the Magic)
✨ At Valley of Roses, we often hear customers say: “My favourite perfume just doesn’t smell the same anymore.” And you know what? They’re right. Designer perfumes today simply aren’t as rich, deep, or long-lasting as they once were. But there’s a reason why - and a solution.Have you ever noticed that your once-favourite perfume doesn’t smell the same anymore? You spray it, but the scent feels lighter, weaker, and fades away too quickly. You’re not imagining it. Designer perfumes today simply aren’t what they used to be 10 or 20 years ago. Here’s why - and how independent perfumery brings back the magic. 1. Reformulations Are Everywhere Same name, different fragrance inside. Big designer houses often change their formulas - and never tell you. Why do they do it? 💰 To cut costs. 📜 To comply with new regulations. 🎨 To “modernize” the scent. The result? A perfume that once felt rich and powerful might now seem diluted. (Just compare Dior Homme 2008 with the one sold today - they’re worlds apart!) 2. The IFRA Rules 📜 Perfumes are heavily regulated, almost like food. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) restricts or bans many classic perfume ingredients, such as: 🌿 Oakmoss – restricted. 🦌 Natural musk – banned. 🌼 Coumarin – restricted. ✔ Safer for the skin. ✘ But much weaker on the nose. 3. Cheaper Ingredients 🌱 The cost of natural raw materials is sky-high. Real sandalwood can cost up to €5000 per kilo. Ambergris? Even more. So what happens? Designer brands replace these treasures with cheaper synthetic alternatives. Yes, they smell good ✨ But they lack the depth, richness, and long-lasting power of natural ingredients. 4. The Secret of Batch Codes 🔢 Not every bottle of the same perfume smells the same. Each batch has a tiny code printed on the packaging - and it matters. Some batches are stronger. Others are weaker. Collectors even hunt for “vintage batches” like rare gold. 5. More Marketing, Less Perfume 🎬 Where does most of the money go? Not into better ingredients… but into: 🌟 Glossy ad campaigns with celebrities. 💄 Fancy packaging and PR. Meaning: you’re paying more for the name than for the fragrance. Why Independent Perfumery Is the Answer 🌹 At Valley of Roses, we believe perfume should be about quality, not compromises. While big houses water down their formulas, independent brands like ours focus on what truly matters: 🧬 High fragrance concentrations 🌿 Quality essences that last 💎 Luxury that’s accessible Our “inspired by” creations bring back the richness, depth, and magic that many designer perfumes have lost - all at a fair price. ✨ Perfume should be about emotion, memory, and beauty. That’s why at Valley of Roses, every scent is crafted to feel true, powerful, and unforgettable. ✨ Discover Perfume the Way It’s Meant to Be Ready to experience perfumes the way they’re meant to be? 👉 Explore our Inspired by Collection and find your new signature scent today.
