Valentino Vendetta: Born From Instinct

by Iris

With Vendetta, Valentino Beauty enters a new emotional territory—one shaped by instinct, attraction and the kind of connection that needs no explanation. The all-new prestige fragrance duo, Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo, arrives through a cinematic campaign starring Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård, directed by Romain Gavras and photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. More than a fragrance campaign, Vendetta is an exploration of contemporary intimacy: instinctive, magnetic and unapologetically free.

 

 

At the heart of the story are two souls drawn together by something they cannot quite define. Johnson and Skarsgård embody a modern kind of romance—one built not on grand declarations, but on glances, proximity and an undeniable pull toward one another. That sense of intensity lies at the core of Vendetta, as Valentino Beauty transforms passion into a disruptive force, challenging conformity and inviting a new generation to embrace emotion without restraint.

Vendetta Donna, created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion in collaboration with Andrew Everett, is a floral gourmand woody fragrance built around an intensely sensual interpretation of tuberose.

 

At its heart, exclusive Tuberose Osmobloom™ reveals a luminous, creamy radiance that feels both solar and deeply sensual. A vibrant red orange nectar accord adds a juicy brightness with a subtle salted edge, before the fragrance settles into enveloping sandalwood, leaving a warm and intimate trail on the skin. The result is a fragrance that balances radiance and sensuality—a luminous floral signature with an undeniably seductive character.

Vendetta Uomo, composed by master perfumer Marie Salamagne, takes a more contrasting approach, combining woody, spicy and gourmand facets.

 

The fragrance opens with a sparkling burst of ginger CO₂ extract from Peru, paired with fresh Italian citrus for an immediate rush of brightness and energy. At the heart, a cinnamon liquor accord introduces an addictive warmth, intensified by an aromatic blend of spices. As it develops, structured patchouli essence meets modern carnal woods, creating a bold yet refined signature with depth and a lasting presence.
