Launched in 2005 by Valentino, V is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Alberto Morillas. The composition opens with the bright freshness of mandarin orange and pink grapefruit, creating an immediate sense of vitality and energy. This citrus vibrancy gives way to the soft, floral heart notes of rose and freesia, which are complemented by the subtle green touch of neroli. As it settles into its base, V reveals a warm and powdery blend of sandalwood, ambergris, and cedar, offering a gentle and comforting embrace.
