Valentino Umo Noir Absolu ( Discontinued )

Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu opens with black pepper and bergamot in a bold, assertive pairing that immediately signals the darker ambitions of this discontinued and now collectible creation — the pepper sharp and aromatic, the bergamot a brief flash of brightness before the composition descends into something considerably richer.

Leather and oud form a heart of rare depth and opulence — the leather raw and slightly smoky, the oud adding its characteristic woody, slightly animalic quality. Noir Absolu is the most dramatically dark and the most overtly luxurious expression in the Valentino masculine collection.

Amber and vetiver create a base of extraordinary tenacity. As a discontinued fragrance, Noir Absolu offers an opportunity to own something genuinely rare — a piece of Valentino's olfactory history at its most ambitious.
