Description
“Inspired by an intimate and experimental attitude towards scents, Valentino interprets the art of fragrance layering for today. Valentino Noir Absolu Oud Essence can be worn alone, but has been specially composed to explore layering combinations in the wider world of Valentino fragrances. Valentino Noir Absolu Essences are an opulent oriental vision in ebony studded glass bottles. When layered with fresh fragrances, Valentino Noir Absolu Oud Essence brings powdery and sophisticated notes into focus. Revealing a powerful imprint of sandalwood and cedar, with softly spiced and floral notes of saffron and myrtle, it intensifies the notes of the fragrances with which it is layered.”
Available as a 100 ml EDP.
Valentino Noir Absolu Oud Essence was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Julien Rasquinet.

I tried both Valentino Noir absolu Musc essence and oud essence today.
On the blotter strip, Musc essence was sooo shockingly lacking any fragrance.It was more like nuances from really really far away, so i didn’t spray it on me.
On the other hand Oud essence, was the exact opposite, so i did 1 spray on my wrist.I first got a proper fecal punch, like true oud oils/ proper oud accords have with a saffron presence and was very happy with it. then 1/2 hour later it was almost entirely gone, what wafted was a faint cacao/labdanum(? not 100% sure) with a sugary/ buttery/ confectionery “charge”.
Overall, nothing special, not great sillage, terrible longevity.The actual fragrance is quite pleasing to me but nothing that hasn’t been fashioned before.I can find more interesting perfumes around that price tag(148 euro Athens/Greece)

Tried it once and I’m not impressed .
The oud in the opening smells on the realistic side which is a good thing then it disappears quickly. The smell after that is not pleasant. Reminds me of YSL sleek suede but that one is better than the Valentino.
