Very Valentino Pour Homme

elegant, refined, alluring. this is very valentino, fantastic and sadly discontinued fragrance. the notes i detect more are anise, lavender, tobacco,musk, rosewood, cedar. the combination of lavender and spicies with a soft tobacco gives a bit of a barbershop feel but the composition in the overall is a sensual and appealing scent. it's so damn pleasant in all its developement, from the opening to hours later. maybe i can consider this one my number one pick for a romantic situation, it's charmy and sexy in my opinion. the performance is not amazing, that's the only bad point about this incredible juice. good for any season but summer, better for 25 and up. romantico ed elegante! scent:8,5 longevity:6,5 sillage:6,5 versatility:7,5 uniqueness:8 bottle: 7,5 compliment factor-7,5 my vote: 8,5 in one word: opera

Well I finally got a little sample of this.. I had been so curious about Very Valentino for the longest time.. The notes sounded beautiful and intrigued me.. Well I squirted it on and found out what a beatiful fragrance this really is.. I have no idea why it gets horrible reviews all over the internet.. It is another relative to By Man by Dolce & Gabbana, as the two are very similar.. Very Valentino does have its differences and its own personality though but the two are very very similar.. The projection and longevity is moderate, kind of soft but it smells amazing! I really like this a lot.. I will wear more of this sample and update later..

A resinous slightly musky tobacco infused sandalwood/rosewood composition held together by amber and lavender with a hint of anise. While the opening can be a bit sweet, within a few minutes it fades and becomes all about creamy sandalwood and rosewood. The rosewood here is similar to the kind found in Villoresi's Sandalo, while the tobacco here is so finely blended its barely even detectable, yet its presence is luscious and known. The outcome simply entails a beautiful vintage barbershoppy aroma. Fans of Proraso Red, BdP, Villoresi's Sandalo will find this fragrance right up their alley.

It's been a long while since I owned this one, bought a shed load of samples, just to see if it's as I remembered it. I hate that they've discontinued it, yes it is as I remembered and more. A beautiful sandalwood/lavender mix, I wish I had appreciated fragrances more years ago, and had the sense to stock up on the ones I loved, before discontinuations and nasty reformulations. The initial spritz is almost fruity sandalwood, then it quickly dries down to a gorgeous warm woody amber floral. I absolutely love it, to me this fragrance is still highly relevant today. Great fragrance.

I have smelled Very Valentino homme for the first time today! One spray on my wrist. The bottle was kind of old and not kept very well, so the topnotes were pretty much gone. Very Valentino is a generic men's fragrance. A tad bit fresh and fruity. The drydown resembles By by D&G: the same semi-sweet, almost cloying sandalwood like glow. Very Valentino is a bit greener. When I come to think of it, Very Valentino is D&G By Man meets Hugo Boss Elements (the original). Actually I like it. 7/10
