Launched alongside Vendetta Donna (2026). A new version of Vendetta Pour Homme (1991).

‘Vendetta Uomo Eau de Parfum, the new fragrance for men by Valentino. A bold woody spicy signature, as the scent of unstoppable passion. The olfactive pact between the zesty brightness of a fresh Ginger shot and a spicy liquorous woody depth. This composition offers a bold and magnetic presence designed for a confident and free-spirited man. This signature performs beautifully year-round and leaves a lasting sillage that melts onto the skin, forming an indelible addiction. A masterpiece created by the visionary perfumer Marie Salamagne. Sparkling ginger from Peru, delivering a zesty and aphrodisiac freshness. Exclusive Cinnamon Liquor Accord, offering an addictive, spicy, and gourmand warmth to the trail. Patchouli essence, magnified by carnal woods, wrapping the scent in a powerful, vibrant, and bold woodiness.’ – 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 (…) Uomo, composed by master perfumer Marie Salamagne, answers with spice. A sparkling shot of Peruvian ginger opens onto a cinnamon liquor accord, landing on a base of pure patchouli essence. “I selected a very pure essence of patchouli, preserving its raw woody character while amplifying its depth,” says Salamagne. “The goal was to create a fragrance that is bold in character while deeply connected to the skin.” (…) 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
