HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Valentino, Valentina Assoluto is a chypre floral fragrance crafted by the renowned perfumer Olivier Cresp. The composition opens with truffle and peach, grounding the scent with earthy richness and fruity sweetness. This leads into a heart of tuberose and Italian jasmine, which are supported by the warmth of Madagascar vanilla and patchouli. The base notes of oakmoss and cedar add depth and an animalic undertone, creating a complex and sophisticated aroma that is both comforting and alluring.
Apply Valentina Assoluto to pulse points for maximum longevity. The fragrance's base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to develop on your skin. It pairs well with light layers during cooler weather but can also be worn year-round.
