Valentina Assoluto

by Olivier Cresp

Valentino Valentina Assoluto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Olivier Cresp. The fragrance opens with Peach, Truffle, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Valentina Assoluto: Statement

Valentina Assoluto is a divisive beast. Some adore its creamy, earthy sensuality, celebrating its complex blend of truffle and tuberose. Others find it underwhelming, even 'boring' or 'like basic toilet spray.' It's sophisticated but certainly not a blind buy.

While some find it versatile, its richness and moderate sillage make it a standout for evening wear and special occasions. The sophisticated chypre character leans more towards formal and date settings, with too much gravitas for casual everyday athleticism.

About

A dark, juicy peach and earthy truffle kick things off, quickly joined by rich, creamy tuberose and sweet vanilla. As it settles, a woody and mossy patchouli base emerges, lending a serious, almost animalic depth to the floral sweetness. It's a journey from bright fruit to a mysterious, sophisticated dry-down.
