Valentina

Created in 2011, Valentina quickly became one of the stars of the Valentino lineup. It is at once impertinence and innocence, boldness and sobriety. So, how about taking a closer look at what lies within its sensual bottle, topped with a silver ring adorned with a bold black pearl.

The Italian spirit of the house of Valentino

Through this perfume, Valentino wanted to pay tribute to its Italian origins. This is even reflected in the bottle. It conveys a generous femininity through its curves. It is also adorned with three flowers, an emblem of Valentino's couture — but not only that. This detail also evokes the sugar flowers traditionally made by Italian pastry chefs on their cakes. Here, these fade into a combination of ivory, pink and white. The whole is at once crystalline, sober and innocent, without lacking sensuality. Together it forms a particularly artistic whole, as if directly inspired by Italian architecture. It must be said that the house of Valentino has plenty to draw inspiration from. Its historic headquarters is located in the heart of Rome, two squares from the Piazza di Spagna, in the Palazzo Mignanelli, a true legend. Thus, through Valentina, it is a little as though Valentino were offering a glimpse of its sixteenth-century residence. Valentina is the perfume of an elegant woman. It creates a kind of link between the couture world of the house of Valentino and its perfumery division. From now on, the Italian woman has everything she needs to perfect her look from A to Z.

The floral and fruity nuances of Valentina

Valentina is a perfume composed by a duo of creators. It can boast having brought together some of the most talented perfumers on the planet. It is the work of Olivier Cresp and Alberto Morillas. Here too, its opening pays tribute to Italy, as it contains one of the country's most iconic ingredients: Calabrian bergamot. This is paired with an unexpected ingredient: white truffle from Alba, a city located in the Italian Piedmont. The boldness of this pairing is quickly followed by a more floral blend. Here again, the Mediterranean spirit shows through in the scent of orange blossom. This is enhanced with tuberose and jasmine. Thus, Valentina aims to be the perfect embodiment of a thoroughly feminine sensibility. This is the smooth side, soon joined by the fruity and untamed character of wild strawberry. In the end, sensuality seems to win out. Valentina closes with a structured, syrupy duo of cedar and amber. Moreover, for those who love this fragrance, it should be noted that it comes in numerous other versions. The house of Valentino has made it a habit to release one or two different versions each year. It is up to each person to choose whether Valentina Assoluto, Rosa, Floreale or Myrrh will win their favor…
