The house

More from Valentino

Valentino is an Italian couture house whose story starts in 1960, and its perfumes bring the same sense of occasion to everyday wear. Vanilla runs through much of the range, brightened with bergamot and mandarin, spiced with ginger or cardamom, softened by jasmine and rose. Valentino Donna Born In Roma is the one to begin with: fruity up top, vanilla and woods beneath. Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense pairs vanilla with lavender. The original Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is cooler, mineral and woody, while Valentino Uomo goes nutty and warm. Try a Donna and an Uomo side by side.
