The story behind the bottle.
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.
Two sprays on pulse points will allow the citrus top notes to shine initially before giving way to the floral and woody base. This fragrance pairs well with cooler weather but can also be worn during warmer months for its balanced warmth.
