The story behind the bottle.
Punk Romantic by Valentino is a bold and exquisite Oriental Woody fragrance that launched in 2024. Created by perfumer Fanny Bal, this composition opens with the sharp freshness of Black Pepper before transitioning into the herbal notes of Olive Tree and Juniper Berries. The base features Bourbon Vanilla and Madagascar Vanilla, grounded by Sandalwood and Musk, creating a rich blend of warmth and depth. Punk Romantic is a subversive blend that challenges conventional boundaries — it's an unapologetic play of shadow and light, revealing the hedonistic spirit of Rome in every layer.
Apply Punk Romantic to pulse points for an all-day warmth. The spicy top notes dissipate within two hours but the base of vanilla and musk lingers throughout the day, making it perfect for evening wear or a romantic dinner.
