Valentino Very Valentino is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Daniela Andrier. Very Valentino opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Valentino's Very Valentino carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent for sure: some find it a clean, elegant floral, while others are reminded of bug spray. If you can still get your hands on it, prepare for a hit of nostalgia.

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.

Its clean, inoffensive nature and moderate sillage make it ideal for office and casual wear, as many reviewers noted. It's less suited for formal events due to its light, airy feel, and definitely not a sport scent.

About

Very Valentino opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of citrus and magnolia, softened by green touches of lily of the valley and blackcurrant. As it settles, a powdery bouquet of violet, rose, and jasmine emerges, grounded by warm woody notes and a hint of aromatic rosemary. The dry down is a comforting blend of creamy sandalwood, amber, and vanilla, leaving a clean, musky trail.
