  One of the best fragrances I’ve tried; I don’t understand why they stopped selling it. Perhaps the bottle doesn’t do it justice, which is why it wasn’t moving. It’s oriental, spiced but soft, woody, and very balanced, with light floral touches. It’s spectacular; I only have one bottle left, which I’ll keep to smell occasionally. Perhaps I like it more because it brings back good memories, but I still give it 10. It’s very similar to Rasasi’s Dareej Men that I saw on Fragrantica; perhaps the Rasasi one lasts longer and has a better trail. I bought it blind based on the reviews and it was a success. I don’t usually buy clones, but since the original Valentino is no longer available and sells for a fortune on eBay, this Rasasi is a great alternative.

  My favourite perfume of all time, an incredible scent. In my opinion, it’s quite versatile. The downside is that they no longer manufacture it and online prices are ridiculous. I have my bottle, which I bought in Venezuela; it’s a real gem. Luckily, you can find it on Amazon, so I ordered samples to avoid using up my bottle. It lasts five hours on my skin, which is enough for me, with a moderate trail. 10/10.

  My favourite perfume of all time, it smells incredible and is super versatile. What a shame they stopped manufacturing it; now it costs a fortune online.

  At first, pink pepper and tamarind with soft citrus. At 5 hours, musk, amber, and sandalwood. At 10 hours, vanilla, patchouli, amber, and a touch of cocoa. At 12 hours, just musk and amber. I don’t notice the flowers they say are in the background; the heavy notes cover everything. With the 1.2 ml sample, it lasted over 12 hours, with a firm trail that drops to skin-level at the end. It’s a soft oriental, ideal for intermediate seasons and more for daytime wear.

  On the endless journey of fragrances I desire without a second thought, there is V by Valentino. Now in my hands and used to full capacity as soon as I opened the sealed bottle I managed to get; V by Valentino confirms, at least in my opinion, the fame it boasts. On the opening, it’s a joy to perceive the harmony of a plastic amber, dry and adorned with spices, fruits, and vanilla; the acidic twist of the opening contains a powdery cocoa flavour of sweet tamarind and pink pepper, a short-lived note. As it dries, it loses the positive and sexy effect to take a turn towards a powdery, sweet, and dry amber, becoming more intimate and serious. I’ve really liked it; it’s a dynamic fragrance that allows for many stories, its path is long, and it creates landscapes. The best part is that it suits any situation and season, with autumn being its perfect frame. In its deep dry-down phase, winter is ideal. In short, I wonder if V is from Victoria?

  What a wonderful perfume! What a pity they discontinued it after it even won the perfume of the year award… Luckily, I still have half a bottle that I use very occasionally, on very special occasions… I remember the first time I smelled it; the impact was such that the following week I rushed out to buy it. Its opening is sweet and floral, quite potent. On my nose, it smells of licorice… The longevity is exaggerated and the trail is brilliant; it screams for party nights. If you have the chance to try it, don’t miss out.

  What a fantastic perfume! What a pity they discontinued it after even winning a Perfume of the Year award… Luckily, I have half a bottle saved for occasional use on special occasions. I remember the first time I smelled it; the impact was such that the following week I rushed to buy it. It has a sweet and floral opening, quite potent. On my nose, it smells like licorice. The longevity is exaggerated and the trail is brutal, shouting for party nights. If you have the chance to try it, don’t miss out.

  I found this gem at a market and couldn’t believe it; I paid 400 Mexican pesos. Now it’s in my collection.

  Valentino’s V pour homme is a rare oriental with licorice that I absolutely love; proof that niche perfumes existed before they became trendy. It smells warm yet fresh, tender like freshly opened baby powder, and sweet and comforting. It’s like rubbing yourself with a soft, persistent balm, with a sweet and powdery soul. It begins dreamily with a fruity cocktail of pepper, a good top note, but then surpasses expectations: it turns gourmet with a vanilla-cocoa mix blending with jasmine, amber, and musk. It’s reserved, elegant, and masculine without being brutal. Mandarin, tamarind, and pink pepper combine perfectly with cedar and heliotrope, responsible for that floating talc-like tone in all phases. Highly underrated, good, and cheap, now it’s an object of cult and sells for a fortune on the resale market. If you love it but the price scares you, try Dareej by Rasai; it’s a good alternative but more heavy-handed and forced, whereas V is rounder, finer, and more elegant.

  I just wrote a review about Zimaya’s Oud is Great and it’s shocking how much it resembles Valentino’s V, especially when it dries down. Zimaya is slightly sweeter, but so much so that I searched for oriental reviews and stumbled upon this one xD. If you like V, this comes very close. I haven’t tried the Initio one yet, which they claim is its clone. Cheers.
