Valentino
Vendetta Donna
Valentino feminine from 2026, due to Dominique Ropion and Andrew Everett. Sources disagree on the architecture: the house's product page places tuberose in the top notes, its press release puts it in the heart, and Fragrantica opens on blood orange. All three, however, carry the same materials, tuberose, blood orange and sandalwood in the base. Floral gourmand woody for the house, oriental floral for Fragrantica.

Where to buy
Announced by a Paris press release dated July 13, 2026, Vendetta marks the return of Valentino Beauty to prestige perfumery: it is the first franchise of this kind launched by the house in six years. The name is not new, it revives that of a Vendetta created in 1991 under the direction of Valentino Garavani, reactivated here as an archival name rather than as a reformulation. The global release is set for August 24, 2026, preceded by a preview in Valentino stores and international airports.
The franchise unfolds from the outset as a duo, Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo, conceived as a pair of perfumes. The feminine installment is an Eau de Parfum that the official website classifies as floral gourmand woody, while Maison Valentino describes it as a floral woody built around the most carnal expression of tuberose; Fragrantica, for its part, ranks it among oriental florals. The house sums up the whole in one line: A floral gourmand woody signature, as the scent of unstoppable passion.
The composition is signed by Dominique Ropion in co-creation with Andrew Everett. It rests on a Colombian tuberose treated with Osmobloom technology and Air-Capture extraction, paired with a blood orange nectar accord drawn from the Tarocco Rosso variety.

The advertising
Two lovers on the run, in red
Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård photographed by Inez & Vinoodh as lovers on the run, against a red background in low light.
The campaign brings together Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård, named on this occasion global beauty ambassadors for the house. The visuals are photographed by the Dutch-American duo Inez & Vinoodh, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
The staging tells the story of a couple of lovers on the run, an escapade the house describes as us-against-the-world. In the central image, Johnson, in a scarlet dress, leans over Skarsgård; both lie on a red floor, in low light. Skarsgård, for his part, speaks of the way the house celebrates individuality, emotion and connection.
The first visuals accompany the press release of July 13, 2026, with an American launch in late August. A campaign film following Donna and Uomo is set to extend the story in the following weeks.
