Launched alongside Vendetta Uomo (2026). A new version of Vendetta (1991).

‘Vendetta Donna Eau de Parfum, the new fragrance for women by Valentino. A floral gourmand woody signature, as the scent of unstoppable passion. The olfactive pact between the solar carnality of Tuberose, the addictive brightness of a red orange nectar accord and the unctuousity of envelopping woods. A bold and sensual presence designed for a confident and magnetic woman. This signature performs beautifully year-round and leaves a lasting sillage that melts onto the skin, forming an indelible addiction. A masterpiece co-created by Master Perfumer Dominique Ropion and the talented perfumer Andrew Everett. Narcotic tuberose from Columbia, offering a warm, solar, and unctuous carnality. Exclusive Red Orange Nectar Accord, inspired by the Tarocco Rosso, a deep red-pulp Italian variety, bringing an addictive, liqueur-like sweetness to the trail. Sandalwood, a creamy, mysterious wood anchoring the fragrance with profound and magnetic sensuality.’ – Valentino Beauty

‘Valentino Beauty’s first prestige fragrance launch in six years. While the word itself may raise an eyebrow considering the romantic visuals, it serves as a nod to the original Vendetta scent, introduced under Valentino Garavani himself in 1991. Better yet, it arrives as a pair: Vendetta Donna and Vendetta Uomo (…) Donna, created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion with perfumer Andrew Everett, is a floral gourmand woody built around the most carnal expression of tuberose. “Behind its whiteness and solar accents, Tuberose has an ultra-narcotic character,” says Ropion, who worked with an exclusive Tuberose Osmobloom extract obtained through Air-Capture technology. “It delivers the exact scent of the flower when it blooms at dawn.” Everett wraps that flower in a custom red orange nectar accord inspired by the Tarocco Rosso, the prized Sicilian variety. “My goal was to capture its essence, adding a luscious nectar dimension,” he says. “The addition of salty notes provides a crispiness that triggers a modern vision of addiction.” (…) The bottles, structured around a graphic V motif with a pleated cap recalling the folds of Valentino couture, are conceived as a pair. Which is, of course, the whole premise. It takes two to tango, after all, and a loverboy is only ever as convincing as his co-star. On that count, Skarsgård and Johnson, and Uomo and Donna, make a persuasive case for partnership as the most seductive fragrance note of all.​’ – Vogue
