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

Yet another late nineties release I wish I had in my collection. I recently picked up a small decant, and it's just as good as I remember. It's a very herbal fragrance, the sandalwood and lavender notes dominate, it's super clean and fresh. Projects well, with decent longevity. If my memory serves me right unused to have a shower gel and hair gel. Worth picking up for a reasonable price, but it's not worth the silly money being asked.

Lovely warm spicy tobacco . Lavender allong with nutmeg and carnation make exhilarating mood turns to warm resiny tobbaco settle on clean musk and creamy sandalwood. Very well maded an forgatten piece of work that introduce its era and its poeple.

Something I always liked. Glad to still have a bottle in my collection. Nothing amazing, but can be worn anytime. Performance is average, I wish it lasted a bit longer. Solid 6.9/10 - Mostly due to poor longevity

Brilliant stuff! A Classic! Extremely sophisticated, its not acting as a perfume but rather as your second skin. Smooth, warm, spicy yet fresh, optimistic, manly, sexy and confident. Masterpiece, in my Top 3!

today i got this rare gem in my collection.it`s kind of spicy tobaccoish resinousy of course musk at the heart. very unique and lovely 9/10.

A must for anyone who loves sandalwood and amber. Very masculine. Nice silage.

very wonderful perfume , very sexy. i recommend.Masterpiece

Please bring this back, Valentino

Hello, today I want to talk about the fragrance: Very Valentino.Do not even remember to have this miniature, still belongs to the last century (so to speak), but maintains the its glory, is indeed a very decent and straightforward flavor, anise and sweet subtle opening, flowers and spices in the middle and in the final timber and resin will condense a fund chic. Overall there is a perception stratified and balmy, just like a balm but with miraculous properties and relaxing ... He has some vague resemblance to Blue Versace Jeans (both guard the precious liquid behind a dark blue glass) Perhaps little known but very good.

I don't get the Dolce and Gabbana By similarities, I own both and if anything its like a fart in the wind might carry some resemblance to a ham sandwich. Not saying this is a bad fragrance, but I'm saying I'm glad I got it for $65 and not the crazy prices being asked. I find the lavender in this reminds me of vintage Versace dreamer. On dry down it kinda smells like candies. It's long lasting but a soft scent. Valentino V to me is still the best from the house. This will be a dumb reach for me unless someone here is up for swapping some other interesting vintage for it.

What can I say- had very high expectations before I got it. Now I know why it was cheapie back in the days. It has a very light and calming scent. I'm not sure why the big staying power was mentioned in the comments, but it`s gone in a couple of hours. Fresh lavender-sandalwood combo ,coriander in the initial notes, I`m not a big fan of nutmeg and for some reason I can`t smell it here even though it`s highly rated in the pyramid. *Reviewing my comment: even though it doesn`t last very long, the scent is absolutely beautiful.

Beautifully constructed fragrance! Particularly strong close to your skin, but not intrusive phenomenon Beautiful, elegant, impressive feelings. It is unfortunate error that is no longer available, but if you manage to find a very good buy! Individual components due to perfect harmony with the spiciness and a woody base with each other. The result is a very, very Italian atmosphere, which is very nice and very Valentino .......

Very classy & sophisticated! I can see that this fragrance takes quite a beating around the net, but to me it's just a great gentlemans smell - not loud, but refined. The herbal opening with sage & nutmeg is followed by a smoooth pipe tobacco and after about an hour the drydown with sandalwood and amber kicks in. It can seem slightly synthetic for a short while, but once I get into the vibe, I hardly notice. Thumbs up.

Very different but not for every one, must test before buying.I love it every time.Awsome sillage and very fine longevity. For me 8/10

i dislike this. only spicy lavander whit sandalwood. low performance . banal . not for my taste .
