Valentino Valentina Myrrh Assoluto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Cresp and Hamid Merati-Kashani. Valentina Myrrh Assoluto settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Vanilla. Valentino's Valentina Myrrh Assoluto carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a rich, seductive myrrh-vanilla bomb that's loved for its niche quality and comforting warmth. It's often compared to Initio's Psychedelic Love, though some prefer this for its deeper, less linear profile. Just be ready for its intense sweetness and pronounced myrrh.

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.

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

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Valentina Myrrh Assoluto opens with luxurious myrrh, wrapped in a creamy, almost custardy vanilla. Yellow florals like ylang-ylang and jasmine add a velvety, exotic sweetness that prevents the myrrh from becoming too austere. As it dries down, a soft, sensual leather note emerges, mingling with musk to create a smooth, deeply warm, and subtly smoky finish.
