Valentino V by Valentino for Women

Valentino V Perfume by Valentino, Valentino V by Valentino is an alluring blend of woody and floral accords. Introduced in 2005, this perfume celebrates women and their intricacies, mysteries and secrets.

The fragrance opens with fruity notes of mandarin, grapefruit and green fig, and a green floral scent from freesia.

Valentino is the eponymous fashion house of designer Valentino Garavani. After studying fashion with local designers in his native Italy, Valentino moved to Paris to further his studies. He debuted his line in 1959 in Rome, soon becoming famous for the vibrant red dresses he often showcased, a shade that would be popularly known as “Valentino red.” The designer has dressed a multitude of celebrities, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. His first fragrance was released in 1978.
