Vendetta Donna

Vendetta Donna is the women’s eau de parfum Valentino launched in 2026, created by Dominique Ropion with Andrew Everett. It bears the name of a 1991 Valentino fragrance while keeping nothing of its formula. Three materials make it up: a Colombian tuberose obtained through the Osmobloom process, a blood orange nectar accord and a New Caledonian sandalwood. The house defines it as a floral gourmand woody scent.

Valentino Beauty announced Vendetta in mid-July 2026: it is the house’s first prestige launch in six years, conceived as a permanent line rather than as a spin-off of an existing fragrance. Its name comes from a 1991 Vendetta, whose formulas were not carried over.

The line was born as a duo, Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo, presented as two sides of a single story. The women’s scent, an eau de parfum, is billed as a floral gourmand woody fragrance built on the most carnal expression of tuberose; the men’s, entrusted to Marie Salamagne, heads toward woody spice.

Dominique Ropion, master perfumer at IFF, composed the women’s fragrance with Andrew Everett, also a perfumer at IFF. The duo was offered in airports from mid-July, ahead of a wider launch at the end of August.

What critics say

Patric Rhys (September 2026) praises a carnal tuberose, unusually daring for a fashion house; Rachel Lapidos (Bustle) finds a dark woody floral, neither syrupy nor demure.

The advertising

Two lovers on the run, in red

A film by Romain Gavras shot on 35 mm to “It’s a Sin” by Pet Shop Boys, photographs by Inez & Vinoodh, starring Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård.

The campaign brings together Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård, named global fragrance ambassadors for Valentino Beauty. The film is directed by Romain Gavras and the photographs are by Inez & Vinoodh, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele.

Shot on 35 mm without dialogue, the film shows two lovers on the run, from sun-drenched roads to dark interiors. “It’s a Sin” by Pet Shop Boys provides the soundtrack; Valentino red recurs from one of Johnson’s dresses to the sets.

The film has aired since August 24, 2026. In September, a long version was screened at the Safari Inn in Burbank, a motel transformed for the occasion into the “Vendetta Motel.”
