Valentino Valentina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Alberto Morillas and Olivier Cresp. Valentina opens with Truffle and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Strawberry, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Valentino's Valentina carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Valentina is a nuanced, feminine floral-fruity that's sadly been discontinued, leaving many longing for its elegant balance. It's a modern classic striving for subtlety, but its underwhelming performance and unique earthy notes can be a bit divisive.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its delicate and inoffensive nature, coupled with generally moderate sillage, makes it perfect for casual and office wear. While romantic, its subtlety might be lost in very formal settings, and it's definitely not one for the gym.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing earthy whisper of truffle alongside bright bergamot and sparkly strawberry. A rich white floral heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and tuberose then blooms, delicate yet present. The drydown settles into a comforting, subtly sweet base of vanilla, amber, and cedar, retaining an elegant, slightly powdery warmth that avoids becoming cloying.
