Launched in 2024, Private Talk by Valentino is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Nicolas Bonneville. The composition centers around the interplay between tuberose and cappuccino, creating a sensual and opulent bouquet that nods to Italian heritage. The top note of ginger introduces a fresh spicy element, leading into the heart where Indian tuberose and ylang-ylang create a solar, bewitching floral accord. This is grounded by a base of white musk, Virginia cedar, and sandalwood, providing warmth and depth.

Application Tips
Apply Private Talk to pulse points for a lasting effect. The ginger top note fades quickly, so reapply if you want to maintain its freshness throughout the day. The base notes are warm and long-lasting, making it perfect for an evening out or a cozy night in.
