Valentino Anatomy of Dreams ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 17 July 2024 9 Comments

Valentino will launch Anatomy of Dreams, a new collection of 7 fragrances inspired by "a Roman palazzo" and "the spirit of Rome". The fragrances are Behind the seen, Club couture, L’Innocence de l’air, Notte d’oro, Private talk, Punk romantic, and Sogno in rosso. There will also be two "enhancer" scents for layering: Bianco 1968 and Rockstud Noir (I will update on those when I can).

Behind the seen ~ "The secret gestures and atmospheres of couture are unveiled by an unprecedented blend of high quality woods around vetiver, with earthy and enveloping intensity, resonating with the addictive texture of a hazelnut accord, to create an elegant, modern addiction." Additional notes for the woody spicy fragrance include turmeric leaf, geranium, orris, cedar and sandalwood.

Club couture ~ "An extravagant aura is generated by the surprising dialogue between traditional patchouli and a pulpy and vibrant fig accord." Additional notes for the fruity green chypre fragrance include bergamot, bitter orange, mandarin, orange blossom, orris, cedar and musks.

L’Innocence de l’air ~ "The Italian garden interpreted by fresh and clean notes of the Centifolia Rose blended with a sparkly green tangerine from Calabria." Additional notes for the floral fragrance include angelica seeds, ambrette, rose damascena, musks and suederal.

Notte d’oro ~ "This eccentric atmosphere is made true by notes of precious oud alike [sic?] the wooden parquet floors and liquorous almond accord with golden reflections." Additional notes for the ambery woody fragrance include sweet orange, grapefruit, black cherry accord, jasmine, geranium, rose, patchouli and sandalwood.

Private talk ~ "The fragrance unveils a very petal like, sensual feminine tuberose paired with the cappuccino note. A solar, bewitching, opulent floral bouquet of exclusive Tuberose, submerged by the full bodied character of Cappuccino, a nod to the Italian heritage."  Additional notes for the ambery floral fragrance include ginger, ylang, sandalwood, cedar and white musks.

Punk romantic ~ "Punk is romantic. Love has no rule. From this conceptual subversion comes the unexpected encounter of vanilla bean infused with spices and resins and the unexpected authenticity of an olive wood accord. An unapologetic play of shadow and light, revealing a bold and exquisite solar depth." Additional notes for the ambery woody fragrance include black pepper, juniper berry, sandalwood, vanilla and musks.

Sogno in rosso ~ Developed by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. "Tinged with modernity by the spiciness of pepper, the creamy velvety Italian milk foam accord frees itself of its candor." Additional notes for the ambery spicy musky fragrance include juniper berries, petitgrain, incense, orange blossom, sandalwood and vanilla.

Valentino Behind the seen, Club couture, L’Innocence de l’air, Notte d’oro, Private talk, Punk romantic, and Sogno in rosso will be available in 30 (price unknown) and 100 ($330) ml Eau de Parfum.

      I think these big collections just don’t interest me, nor do the prices…but I am willing to change my mind if I hear one or more is fantastic 🙂

      They are! No idea when they’re coming though, or how hard they will be to find.

    Notto ‘dd’Oro and the one with tuberose and coffee sound good to me. In cute little bottles… and look what stupid spell check did to that Italian name! Ugh.

      I am also looking at Notte d’oro. The tuberose + coffee reminds me a little of YSL’s Black Opium, which is also coffee + white florals, though I am sure they will smell quite different.
