Pros & Cons
- ✅ This was my signature scent since it came out! It smells smokey and sexy and spicy and fresh and sweet all at the same time.
- ✅ It is the most versatile fragrance I have ever or will ever wear.
- ✅ Valentino V has to be one the most amazing scents ever!! this definitely gets compliments all day long!
- ✅ A legendary, much-missed classic. V pour Homme is a masterclass in elegant masculinity, a sweet-spicy woody scent that's often called 'sex in a bottle'.
- ✅ I love jasmine, sandalwood, musk, amber, etc, it's pretty darn close to a Holy Grail scent.
- ✅ The opening leans on pink pepper and tamarind, then a sandalwood and amber accord takes over within the first hour. Vanilla, cacao, and amber carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives.
- ❌ If only the entire composition was slightly more intense with richer base notes…as it is, V seems unfinished, somehow.
- ❌ V could have taken one final leap into the air before bowing.
