The story behind the bottle.
Valentina Rosa Assoluto by Valentino, launched in 2014 and crafted by perfumers Olivier Cresp and Hamid Merati-Kashani, is a sophisticated Oriental Floral fragrance. The composition opens with the bright sweetness of raspberry and saffron before diving into the heart of Taif Rose and Bulgarian Rose, which are complemented by praline's warmth. The base notes of patchouli and woods provide an earthy foundation that anchors the entire scent, creating a balance between floral sweetness and woody depth.
This fragrance blooms best with two sprays — the initial sweetness of raspberry fades quickly, but the rich heart and base notes carry through the day. It’s ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves subtly throughout the hours.
