The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Valentino, V pour Homme is a woody and oriental fragrance for men that balances fresh spices with warm musk and vanilla. The composition opens with pink pepper and tamarind, providing an energetic start before transitioning into the heart of mandarin orange, bergamot, basil, and sandalwood. These notes create a vibrant yet grounded atmosphere. The base is anchored by amber, cacao, patchouli, heliotrope, musk, and vanilla, which add depth and warmth to the overall scent.
Apply two sprays to the chest for optimal longevity. The fresh spicy notes are most prominent in the first hour but gradually give way to the warm base notes, which last throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your environment.
