About This Perfume
Valentino Donna Noir Absolu by Valentino is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Valentino Donna Noir Absolu was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Sonia Constant. Top note is Pepper; middle notes are Plum, Liquor and Rose; base notes are Leather and Sandalwood. "Valentino Donna Noir Absolu translates a vivid femininity, narcotic and voluptuous. This leathery gourmand oriental fragrance is a collision between the spice of black pepper and a lascivious rose. The decadence of plum liquor meets sensuous leather and sandalwood, and the effect is utterly addictive. The Valentino Noir Absolu fragrances are presented in ebony studded glass bottles with gold accents, signifiers of defiant grace." Top note: Black Pepper Heart: Rose, Plum Liquor Base: Leather, Sandalwood Available as a 100 ml EDP.
