Valentino launches the new fragrance Valentina Assoluto, a nocturnal, mysterious and seductive scent that will take your senses on an enchanting journey.
Okay you girls, so it's time for some new adventures! Well,
since we all know that the perfect fragrance has the amazing power
of evoking important memories but also of boosting the mood, let us
introduce you one intense scent that will take you on a special
journey through Sicily, the Mediterranean, and Madagascar. It's
Valentino's new fragrance
called Valentina Assoluto the one to revive your senses. Inspired
by the floral notes of the original Valentina perfume from 2011,
this one is "much more nocturnal, more seductive".
"This perfume is a real creation," said Olivier Cresp of Firmenich,
who created both Valentina and Valentina Assoluto. This time, Cresp
changed some ingredients and opted for a whole new different
olfactive family, chypre. "The white flowers in question are hot
and enveloping," he said.
Valentina Assoluto opens up with top notes of Italian bergamot,
Smeggia peach from Sicily and white Alba truffle from Piedmont. The
heart of the scent includes tuberose flowers along with
Mediterranean jasmine and soft vanilla from Madagascar. Its chypre
base consists of silky cedar, oak moss and patchouli.
"It’s a strong perfume, one that brings a sense of mystery and
noir. It’s also inspired by Valentino fashion," Cresp explained,
saying that designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli
got involved in the creation of the fragrance. "They are very
intuitive," he said.
The ad campaign for Valentina Assoluto features Freja Beha
Erichsen, who also appeared in the ad for Valentina. The Danish
model is photographed by David Sims, who also shot the original
campaign at the historical Villa Parisi. Freja looks gorgeous
wearing a super-delicate gown and with her hair romantically
tied-back.
The captivating scent comes in a fab bottle having a gently
rounded, dreamy silhouette and made of brown opaline glass with
amber reflections. There is one pale pink rose in the front, while
the cap is in copper and topped with a black pearl. The fragrance
is available in 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.
