Valentino V is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005, created by Alberto Morillas. V opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Fig, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Ambergris. Valentino's V carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a cult favourite, mourned by many since its discontinuation. It's a creamy, woody dream that manages to be both fresh and warm, though some find its woody notes a tad too masculine or strong.

About

V opens with a bright, warm citrus burst of grapefruit and mandarin, softened by the green, sweet notes of fig. The heart blooms with elegant florals, notably neroli and rose, before settling into a creamy, woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and a hint of ambergris. It's a beautifully balanced scent, smooth and inviting from top to bottom.
