Valentino Vendetta ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 14 July 2026 11 Comments

Valentino will introduce Vendetta, a new pillar fragrance duo. Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo are unrelated to the 1991 fragrances of the same name, and will be fronted by Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård.

Vendetta Donna ~ developed by perfumers Dominique Ropion and Andrew Everett. "Vendetta Donna Eau de Parfum, the new fragrance for women by Valentino. A floral gourmand woody signature, as the scent of unstoppable passion. The olfactive pact between the solar carnality of Tuberose, the addictive brightness of a red orange nectar accord and the unctuousity of envelopping [sic] woods. A bold and sensual presence designed for a confident and magnetic woman. // "The Tuberose Osmobloom represents a breakthrough in eco-extraction with solvent-free and heat-free technology, developed over two years and several trials to ensure the most precise olfactive profile. Each 100g of this extract contains the essence of 6,000 fresh flowers, hand-harvested at dusk at the Finca Mugheeu farm in Colombia, to capture the pure sensuality of Tuberose. This solar floralcy is balanced by the vibrant addiction of a Red Orange Nectar Accord and anchored by Sandalwood from New Caledonia."

Vendetta Uomo ~ developed by perfumer Marie Salamagne. "A bold woody spicy signature, as the scent of unstoppable passion. The olfactive pact between the zesty brightness of a fresh Ginger shot and a spicy liquorous woody depth. This composition offers a bold and magnetic presence designed for a confident and free-spirited man. This signature performs beautifully year-round and leaves a lasting sillage that melts onto the skin, forming an indelible addiction." Additional notes include cinnamon liqueur accord. 

Valentino Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo will be available in 10, 30, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum.

    LOL. “the unctuousity of envelopping woods” is one for the records.

    Am I ready for this:
    “the essence of 6,000 fresh flowers, hand-harvested at dusk at the Finca Mugheeu farm in Colombia, to capture the pure sensuality of Tuberose.”

    Bonus points for “unctuosity” and “liquorous”, but they had to go and lose those points and then some by using a variant of the word “addictive” THREE TIMES. That word no longer has any meaning in perfume-speak. If everything is addictive, nothing is.

      Ha!

      I am having trouble with the description and how it relates to the name…where is the vendetta?? Maybe the commercial will explain 😉

    I read the ad copy, see the colors and think…oh noes…I fear the screech! High probability these will have the dreaded amber woods. 😱

      There is *always* a high probability.

    At least they stopped milking the Valentino Donna Born in Roma franchise. At least for a few months…

    Nobody said anything about the typo? I don’t think ‘enveloping’ has multiple P’s in it.

    Not holding my breath for this release. Sounds like a lot of words saying very little.
