Valentino V Absolu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. V Absolu opens with Vodka, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Heliotrope, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Valentino's V Absolu carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

V Absolu is a tragically discontinued favourite, lauded as warm, creamy, and sexy by its devoted fans. Its sophisticated, vanilla-laced charm makes it a rare gem, and the community clamours for its return.

About

Opens with an exhilarating zest of citrus and a boozy hint of vodka, swiftly transitioning to a warm, powdery heart where fig and frangipani mingle with a soft rose. The dry down is a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla, rich amber, and woody notes, with a whisper of incense adding depth.
