V

headeache from this one ? unbelievable. it's so gentle, soft and creamy, not sharp/sweet/cloying or owerpowering. it begins juicy citrusy with mouthwatering pear and a very intriguing note, guess the rice. or is it the cassia? then the bittersaweet orange with the prominent exotic frangipani (i do love this actually very mutch) and creamy soft rose start introdcuing the growth of a tender flowery, slightly sweet aroma on the skin, which whispers around you very elegant for a good while. downwards the base there is this hint of heliotrope which is so playful in woody based scents. heavenly soft natural vanillic bottom-aroma with precious woods make this an all round and creamy lovely very wearable and distinct scent. nice sandalwood/musk sillage close to the skin. lasts really long on me. i could smell the lovely soft waving trails on my self for the whole day long. just perfect! V by Valentino is a very gentle and intriguing soft perfume to celebrate first springdays. it gives me the same confident wearing-feeling as éclat d arpège - not for the notes of course, but for the wearing comfort and the carefree sensation... the bottle is chunky, nice shaped and sturdy as i like it :) thumbs up for this one!

Have been wearing it for three hours now, and I loved the initial freshness and wish that would last longer. But now all I can get is vanilla and more vanilla. Sigh! Thank goodness it's a 30ml. Would be better suited for colder climes. EDIT- The initial blast reminds me of Exlamation! by Coty, does anyone else get that? And since Exlamation was my very first perfume at 11yrs of age, V does bring special memories back. Therefore it's a definate keeper. Winter: It's absolutely gorgeous in winter time. Warm, clean, inviting and a lovely composition. Like your favorite track playing while you're in the tub having a nice warm soak. Never screechy or "I'm wearing perfume" kinda scent. A sure keeper.

have u go out for long walk during ahot day in winter.. those days when u forget its winter and feel that its soo hot,sunny and complicated .. u wear warm clothes feel so energetic ,the sun on ur face , hot and sweet..smelling warm wind through an open park full of trees,grass,sandalwood,and alot of citrus blossoms thats V Valentino warm,sweet,mysterious and simple same time.. its so classy smell, smell of luxury. feminine and passionate,sparkling blend of woody, floral and Oriental notes in anew path that covered in a fruity scent .. the ancient and modern in same bottle .. i ADORE it

Sometimes I like/love it, sometimes I don't. It's better in cold weather, I think. Delicious, warm, sweet, in a good way, I could eat it - like a rice-pudding:). Has a very nice woody base, it's not cloying, IMO. At first sniff it reminded me of Emporio Armani (I felt that fragrance years ago, so maybe I'm wrong, but the pear and the vanilla...). It has a pretty good lasting power on me with good sillage. Top notes: rice, mandarine, pear Middle notes: rose, orange. Base notes: vanille, cedar, amber, sandalwood, musk, oakmoss.

This is such a beautiful classic winter parfume. So bad they discontinued it😭. It smells like no other parfume, very warm,happy ,cozy ,relaxed, woody and vanilla,I usually love florals but this is just one of its kind. It’s difficult to describe, I’m not in to vanilla perfumes, but this is the most beautiful vanilla with little bit of lemon. Sweet and fresh, creamy, round and classy; like very expensive perfume without that typical powdery and heavy opening.
