Valparaiso

Valparaiso by Le Couvent Maison de Parfum is a warm, spicy woody scent with prominent cardamom, vetiver, cedar, and myrrh notes that evolve into a subtly smoky, resinous base. The opening is bold and moderately smoky, leaning toward a masculine aesthetic, though it is unisex by design. The fragrance settles into a crisp, aromatic, and earthy profile that feels natural and well-blended, with cardamom and vetiver emerging as dominant accords. Most users perceive it as workable for day or night wear, with moderate sillage and a lasting presence that some find impressive, though performance on individual skin varies significantly. It is praised for its vegan composition, clean feel, and conceptual craft—though opinions on its thematic link to Valparaiso are divided, with some seeing it as imaginative rather than geographically accurate.
