Vendetta Uomo (2026)

My first impression: The smell is very nice, warm spicy cinnamon, patchouli and modern woody amber, but I’m disappointed with the performance. It’s not a very powerful fragrance, rather quite subtle and intimate at least for now. Maybe my perception will change in time.

Valentino Vendetta is a pleasant and well-balanced fragrance. The dominant notes are cinnamon and liquor, which create a warm, rich, and slightly sweet opening. I also detect a subtle mint-like freshness, which I assume comes from the patchouli, although the ginger is not particularly noticeable to my nose. In terms of character, the fragrance does not lean strongly masculine. Instead, it has a balanced profile that I would describe as more unisex, making it suitable for a wide range of wearers. While I find the scent enjoyable, I do not consider it particularly distinctive. It is well-executed and easy to wear, but it does not stand out from other fragrances in the same category or offer anything especially unique. Overall, it leaves a pleasant impression, though not one that feels especially memorable.

The main thing I get from this is the liquor - cinnamon smell in the beginning and also into the dry down. It smells pretty good. Longevity is Okay, sillage is also ok, moderate to good (though not great). I also love the ad campaign and the bottle and the vibe of the fragrance :P

In 1991 there was a nice gem from Valentino, called Uomo Vendetta (a boozy-leather fougere) pass forward to 2026 and Valentino is relaunching the scent . First thoughts, it's a aromatic and sweet in the opening, thanks to the Ginger and Cinnamon accord, smells similar but not exactly to Azzaro The Most Wanted + JPG Le Male Elixir. • Vendetta Uomo starts with a sweet aromatic-boozy sweetness coming from the Ginger notes. It's a warm sensual sweet fragrance for the first hour, and turns to a nice boozy and woody combination at the drydown. he longevity is average, and lasts approximately +6 hours on my skin. It projects averagely too, for 20” minutes, and a nice scent bubble around me after. (Depends on skin types) If you have performance issues; make sure you buy from a safe source

heard that this lasts for an hour and turns in to a skin scent and also that its just paradigme and bottled beyond made in to one which proves once again that alot of designers like to dupe other designers for easy money and imo valentino is just known for cashgrabs and imo ive never even like a little bit of any valentinos theyre just... honestly mid asf.. like whats the point of green extravaganza like it aint even a fragrance tho i guess i cant really judge because i havent smelt this vendetta thing

When I see a new release by a designer house I long for something out of the ordinary, something that can possibly bridge that gap between predictable and niche with something absolutely addictive and irresistible, something that will even be risqué.. Hugo Boss managed to pull this with Bottled Absolu, why not Valentino? I will look forward to sampling this new fragrance.

This is one of the best designer releases in years. Bought in Dubai, and what a beautiful gorgeous scent. I’m wearing it and want to smell it every hour. On my clothes this is beast mode - can smell the perfume even after 14-16 hrs. Need to pick up more bottles before the reformulate it :)

Its a good fragrance, and its very sensual, it has lavandel, sandalwood, vanillin, coumarin and more other notes that they don’t show you here...longevity and projection just OK but it smell like a typical designer fragrance, they could go on more nische territory

This is not similar at all to the vintage. Not even close. This is a new and modern sweet scent, as the marketing description suggests. Dont get high hopes folks

This is a one-to-one of Prada’s paradigm. It’s actually crazy that Valentino straight up duped it. The Prada gives me a headache; I don’t think this will.

Please, anyone who tried this new edition, write your opinion and possible comparasion with vintage (amazing) one. Thanx.

My bottle arrived today it’s nice but reminds me of d&g the one tbh

Nice but nothing new... Let's move on
