Hermès imagines the scent of a garden on a lagoon
His subtlety is matched only by his nonchalance. Valentino Uomo is a juice that is both elegant and carefree, traditional yet innovative, simple and very elaborate, authentic but contemporary. In 2016, it also became Valentino Uomo Intense, pushing the expression of its original fragrance to the extreme and revealing a more vibrant black leather accord. In 2017, Valentino Uomo also transformed into an Acqua version, exploring in turn the intense freshness of an Italian garden. This time, it is towards darker lands that the brand Valentino takes us. Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu is an oriental and woody juice that does not lack character.
Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu, a woody depth signed Sophie Labbé
To make this perfume, the house of Valentino called on the perfumer Sophie Labbé. Among the fifty or so women perfumers in France, Sophie Labbé is one of the most renowned. She is notably the author of the iconic Parisienne fragrances by Yves Saint-Laurent or Jasmin Noir by Bulgari. In collaboration with the IFF group, market leader in the manufacture of scents, Sophie Labbé does not hesitate to work on a multitude of projects simultaneously. Considered by her peers as a true genius, she draws her creativity from all the elements that surround her. For her, a juice must tell a story to achieve excellence. However, this is precisely what we find in Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu. This perfume is in perfect agreement with the image we have of a Mediterranean man, both charismatic and virile. Its incandescent breath is not made to go unnoticed. Thus, the spices are absolutely omnipresent in this perfume. Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu does not go in four ways and begins straight away with a blend of cinnamon and black pepper. His heart, however, is meant to be smoother and more tender. It is revealed in a breath of sandalwood. Finally, as if to make a more bewitching cloud hover behind him, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu ends with a wake of incense. This ingredient further contributes to reinforce its share of mystery. Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu does not go in four ways and begins straight away with a blend of cinnamon and black pepper.

The return of Valentino Uomo's star perfume bottle
On the bottle side, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu immediately shows its belonging to the great Valentino family. Its look is undoubtedly inspired by that of its elders. In this case, Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu uses exactly the same silhouette as its predecessors and only its color has been changed. Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu is embellished with a bottle that is both modern and timeless. Pleasant to the touch, it is nevertheless covered with a multitude of prisms which shapes its entire surface. This relief is astonishing and evokes the freestone of a patrician palace. A metal strip surrounds its collar and also serves to display its name in the center of its front face. Its former transparency has however given way to an opaque black in perfect harmony with the depth of its scent.
