Valentino V pour Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. V pour Homme opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Basil, settles into a heart of Mace, Musk, Amber, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Patchouli, Heliotrope, and Cumin. Valentino's V pour Homme carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A legendary, much-missed classic. V pour Homme is a masterclass in elegant masculinity, a sweet-spicy woody scent that's often called 'sex in a bottle'. The community consensus is clear: it's perfect, but ridiculously hard to find now.

About

This is a captivating journey, opening with a playful sweet-spicy burst of pink pepper and mandarin, edged with tamarind and basil for a touch of intrigue. The heart reveals a sophisticated blend of creamy sandalwood and cedar, softened by amber and a hint of musk. The dry-down is utterly addictive: a warm, powdery embrace of vanilla and cacao, with an unexpected savoury depth from cumin, all grounded by earthy patchouli.
