Roberto Verino VV Platinum ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 23 January 2009 8 Comments

Roberto Verino VV Platinum fragranceLast year, Roberto Verino launched VV Platinum for women:

As the fragrance comes out, a luminous metallic note stands out as it envelops the fragrance where the energy of the calabrian mandarin and the optimism of lime, with a unique touch of green tea, are combined.

At the heart of the fragrance, there is a precious floral bouquet made up of violet and the delicacy of the lotus flower which give way through the original touches of pepper, Basilico and quince to the bottom amber and spiced floral notes.

At the bottom we are surprised by the original combination of the eternal amber with the freshness and clarity of coriander and the tiare flower which make us feel the special attraction and the sensual character that is given off by the ROBERTO VERINO woman.

This is a metallic fragrance of exclusive seduction, evoking a mysterious night from the purity of crystallized nature, the exclusivity of luxury; turned into a perfume by Roberto Verino.

VV Platinum was developed by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, and is available in 30, 50 or 75 ml Eau de Parfum. (via press release)

    “This is a metallic fragrance of exclusive seduction, evoking a mysterious night from the purity of crystallized nature, the exclusivity of luxury; turned into a perfume by Roberto Verino.” Who writes this dreck?! Don't know about the whole “metallic seduction” thing….. :)

    That line was my favorite too. What is exclusive seduction? I think it might be the kind of seduction you can only get at Bendel's.

    I'm just now exploring metallic fragrances in greater detail, so this would be interesting to try given the amber and coriander drydown.

    I have to say, that dress is me-ow sexy. Wish I had the chops (and the posterior) to wear that!

    But this one, at least, has a description that actually gives you an idea of what the fragrance smells like — and metallic is part of the fragrance description rather than a randomly chosen adjective. Agree there's still silliness, but it's better than many!

    LOL — I could not wear it either! But thought it was lingerie.

    I love Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist and Hiris by Hermes.

    I have ordered Stephen Jones by CdG and Iris by Odori but haven't tried them on skin yet.
