Valentino Beauty presents Vendetta: the new fragrance duo that celebrates passion Six years after the last prestige launch, the Maison signs two signature compositions

Valentino Beauty marks a crucial moment in its olfactory history with the debut of Vendetta, the brand new fragrance duo that represents the Maison's first prestigious launch in six years. Conceived as a new expression of the brand's beauty universe, the project introduces an intense narrative, rooted in the emotion of an uncompromising connection and in the value of passion as a conscious choice. The name also pays homage to the homonymous historic creation of the Maison, launched in 1991 under the direction of founder Valentino Garavani.

At a time when love risks being reduced to a performative, algorithmic or superficial gesture, Vendetta reaffirms the value of an authentic and profound emotional connection. The new olfactory family is aimed at a generation that seeks instinct and truth, reinterpreting Valentino's legacy in a contemporary key through warm tones, a decisive character and a fully aware expression of their emotions. The duo - composed of Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo - thus traces the path of an unstoppable escape, suspended in the imagination of an “us against the world” complicity.

Vendetta Donna: the carnal expression of tuberose

Created by Master Perfumer Dominique Ropion in collaboration with Master Perfumer Andrew Everett, Vendetta Donna is a gourmet woody floral arrangement built around tuberose, an emblematic flower known for its narcotic and irresistibly sensual trail. At the heart of the fragrance is the exclusive Tuberose Osmobloom™ note, enhanced by an “Air-Capture” extraction technology that amplifies its luminosity and creamy depth. The opening reveals a vibrant accord of Tarocco red orange nectar, sweet and juicy, crossed by a subtle salt tension that intensifies its freshness. At the bottom, the olfactory pyramid is rooted in an enveloping note of sandalwood, leaving a warm and memorable trail on the skin. The juice is dressed in an intense and luminous shade of red, an evocation of the historic symbolic color of Valentine.

Vendetta Uomo: a woody and spicy alchemy

Composed by Master Perfumer Marie Salamagne, Vendetta Uomo presents itself as a woody and spicy gourmet fragrance that explores masculine sensuality through material contrasts and a rigorous olfactory construction. The head opens with a sparkling CO2 extraction of ginger from Peru, enhanced by the freshness of Italian citrus fruits. The heart of the composition contains a warm accord of cinnamon liqueur, while the base is structured by a high-purity patchouli essence, reinterpreted through a woody and tactile accord that guarantees structure, depth and elegance.

The sculptural bottle and the campaign with Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård

The design of the bottle reinterprets the tailoring codes of Maison Valentino: a bold V-shaped graphic pattern structures the glass silhouette, while the pleated cap recalls the characteristic folds of high fashion clothes, combining architectural rigor and simplicity. Embodying the visual imagination of the launch are the new faces of the Maison, Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård. Designed by the famous photography duo Inez & Vinoodh, the campaign develops like a cinematic story that captures the tension of a passionate escape, outlining the archetype of a contemporary, free and emotionally connected couple.
