Launched in 2017 by Sophie Labbé, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu is a warm and woody oriental fragrance that captures the essence of sophisticated masculinity. The composition opens with a bold interplay between cinnamon and pepper, creating an initial burst of spiciness. This freshness gives way to a heart of incense and olibanum, adding depth and smokiness. At its core, sandalwood provides a rich, balsamic foundation that lends the fragrance a powdery, enveloping quality.

Application Tips
Two sprays on your pulse points will allow the cinnamon and pepper to shine initially. The smoky and woody notes settle in over time, so it’s best applied a bit ahead of your intended outing. It reads better close to skin than from across the room.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where bold spices meet rich wood and incense.
