Ciao Valentina!

I used to have a gorgeous Italian flatmate at my model flat in NYC. Her name was Valentina. So Valentino Valentina perfume and Freja Beha Erichsen's beautiful campaign (shot by David Simms) and TV commercial VALENTINA perfume brings me back to those fun days in NYC and Milano.

The fragrance, inspired by Rome and Italian flavors, is developed in collaboration with Puig and perfumers Alberto Morillas and Olivier Cresp.The composition is designed as a fresh floral-fruity-oriental, full of contradictions, simultaneously delicate and strong, elegant, sensual, rebellious and fun. It starts off with bergamot from Calabria and white truffles from Alba. Amalfi orange blossoms, sweet jasmine, tuberose and wild strawberries compose the perfume’s heart, settling on the base of cedar, vanilla and amber.
