Casanova 2161

Casanova 2161 by the Swiss brand Valmont is a woody floral released in 2020. Its structure is unusually simple, with just one note at each stage, which makes the progression easy to follow.

Juniper berries open it with a crisp, resinous freshness, the same slightly piney note found in gin. Iris then takes over in the heart. Iris in perfume smells cool, powdery and a little earthy, often compared to fine cosmetic powder or rooty violet, and it gives the scent an elegant, restrained softness. The base is vetiver, a grass root that brings a dry, earthy and faintly smoky green woodiness and holds the iris close to the skin.

Casanova 2161 is shared and worn by anyone. The pairing of powdery iris and dry vetiver feels refined and understated, suiting office days, smart occasions and the cooler months. It is a good fit for someone who likes quiet, polished scents rather than sweet or loud ones.
