The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Valentino Uomo Edition Noire was launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Polge. This fragrance is a rich blend of woody, warm spicy, and nutty accords that create an enveloping warmth. The composition opens with myrtle and bergamot, bringing freshness to the mix before hazelnut and leather add depth. Cedar and chocolate form the heart, while roasted coffee beans anchor the base, creating a scent that feels both classic and modern.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points and let it settle for about 10 minutes before heading out. The hazelnut and myrtle notes are fleeting, so the warmth from the base will carry you through the day. Best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its richness can be fully appreciated.
