Valentino Noir Absolu Musc Essence & Noir Absolu Oud Essence ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 3 July 2018 5 Comments

Valentino has launched Noir Absolu Musc Essence and Noir Absolu Oud Essence, new unisex flankers to 2017's Valentino Donna Noir Absolu and Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, which were flankers to 2015's Valentino Donna and 2014's Valentino Uomo.

Noir Absolu Musc Essence ~ "Inspired by an intimate and experimental attitude towards scents, Valentino interprets the art of fragrance layering for today. Valentino Noir Absolu Musc Essence can be worn alone, but has been specially composed to explore layering combinations in the wider world of Valentino fragrances. Valentino Noir Absolu Essences are an opulent oriental vision in ebony studded glass bottles. Composed of rose absolute, orange blossom and powdery heliotrope in a white veil of aldehydes, it is finished with the warmth of tonka bean. Valentino Noir Absolu Musc Essence reveals powerful and woody facets when layered with intense fragrances and increases the longevity of the notes of the fragrances with which it is layered."

Noir Absolu Oud Essence ~ "Inspired by an intimate and experimental attitude towards scents, Valentino interprets the art of fragrance layering for today. Valentino Noir Absolu Oud Essence can be worn alone, but has been specially composed to explore layering combinations in the wider world of Valentino fragrances. Valentino Noir Absolu Essences are an opulent oriental vision in ebony studded glass bottles. When layered with fresh fragrances, Valentino Noir Absolu Oud Essence brings powdery and sophisticated notes into focus. Revealing a powerful imprint of sandalwood and cedar, with softly spiced and floral notes of saffron and myrtle, it intensifies the notes of the fragrances with which it is layered."

Valentino Noir Absolu Musc Essence and Noir Absolu Oud Essence are available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Nice bottles!
    I’m wondering if there would be a flanker of the flanker of the flanker of the original (I’m lost…hope I’ve wrote the right amount of flankers). Something like Noir Absolu Oud Essence Intense/Extreme.

      I have a tag for flanker of a flanker of a flanker, and it gets very little use! So I hope so.
