Founded in Rome in 1960 by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino quickly established itself in Italian haute couture. The fashion house gained international visibility with collections presented in Florence, then expanded its boutique network and ready-to-wear lines. Following Garavani’s departure, the creative direction evolved under Chiuri, Piccioli and then Alessandro Michele.
Valentino fragrances extend the fashion house’s couture elegance into a contemporary world inspired by Rome and its contrasts. The compositions play with contrasting ingredients, combining freshness, texture and warmth. The bottles feature the Rockstud, a pyramid-shaped motif inspired by Roman architecture.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Valentino fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Uomo Yellow Dream.
