Dakota Johnson and Alexander Skarsgård front them as global beauty ambassadors. The two perfumes are sold separately, not as a boxed set. In the US, Donna costs $185 for 90ml and Uomo ranges from $38 to $170. Both became available worldwide on 24 August 2026, following an earlier rollout in select Valentino boutiques and international airports.

Valentino Vendetta Fragrance Notes
Valentino Beauty hasn't published a top, heart and base pyramid. Sephora lists three key notes for each scent. The structure below follows John Lewis for Donna and Beautyscene for Uomo.
Vendetta Donna
- Top: Colombian tuberose (Tuberose Osmobloom)
- Heart: exclusive Red Orange Nectar accord, inspired by the Tarocco Rosso blood orange
- Base: sandalwood
Vendetta Uomo
- Top: Peruvian ginger CO2 extract, Italian citrus
- Heart: cinnamon liquor accord
- Base: patchouli essence, woods
What Does Valentino Vendetta Smell Like?
Vendetta Donna opens on white tuberose, moves into a blood-orange nectar accord and settles on sandalwood. Ropion told The Zoe Report the aim was "something very sexy and unexpected, yet very elegant and Italian so it was linked to Valentino."
Vendetta Uomo starts with ginger and Italian citrus, centres on a cinnamon liquor accord and ends on patchouli and woods. Salamagne said she "wanted to reinterpret masculinity for Valentino." She described the scent as "an interpretation of an aphrodisiac fragrance" with spices as its starting point.
Both scents fall under the gourmand label. Another autumn 2026 fragrance release in that space is the Dolce&Gabbana Velvet Amber Sage.
