This is like Tom Ford Oud Wood’s sexy older brother. He’s quiet with dark soulful eyes you could swim in. When you get close to him, his skin smells like warm cinnamon. You want to reach out and touch him, you can’t stop thinking about him. His lips are moving but you can’t make out the words because you are too under the spell of this cinnamon and leather emanating from his being. He is like the incense of a church that exists only in your loins.

This is all about citrus basil on an oakmoss and vetiver base! It has coriander, geranium, lemon, cedar, and settles a bit on soap and hintly aquatic mint. Patchouli, & cedar appears after about 10 minutes in and i begun to sniff some smoke or incense maybe and i believe it’s from the cedar and labdanum.
It begins awful like a plastic bag and go through soapy aquatic mint, then settles on a smokey and kind of leathery essence! i am surprised how this one settled and resulted in that leather smoke! never thought that it would turn into something quite interesting!

Vendetta pour Homme is yet another Eduard Flechier marvel. An astonishing, early take on a resinous, labdanum – benzoin driven spice leather. Simply brilliant. For anyone who is into Ambre Sultan, Comme des Garçons’ first release or the other Flechier masterpiece, Montana Parfum d’Homme, this is a top timeless gem !

World class spices with a hint of juicy lemon which all develops into a blend of utter pleasure and sophistication. Cinnamon, leather, moss….matched only by a very few. Yet its more than just a heavy hitter, because at its dry down it develops into a unique, classy aroma.

Its close to vintage z14..90%
Less musk and cinnamon more resin

I became acquainted with Vendetta in the distant fall of ’93. Cool Water had already flooded the market and CK One was around the corner, so, needless to say, I did not have the nose nor the right context to appreciate it.
I recently rediscovered Vendetta again, and like many beautiful creations of the time (Zino, Versus, etc) I have been been able to give the juice its proper respect.
This stuff is niche nowadays. You r greeted first by aldehydes, mint and a very subtle jasmine. And then, the magic happens. The combination of leather, labdanum and oak moss creates one bitter, but absolutely beautiful juice. You truly experience the potency of fhe labdanum/oakmoss union, in a way that is truly unthinkable nowadays. The juice smells borderline incensey. A point of reference is AG Sables, but they r by no means similar. It is fresh in a way that is not understood now, it’s potent but discreet at the same time, it is simply a beautiful juice that I am happy I rediscovered.
Smell great my friends.

A good acquaintance let me have a few sprays from his bottle. I was told that It was quite like Italian cypress from Tom Ford, but what a disappointment,
This is seriously one of the few most foul smelling frags I have ever come across. I literally said: ‘Yuk, WTF is this stench?’ only a few seconds after application. As we sat in the car discussing frags the scent worked vigorously on my skin a gross and dirty experience indeed. Like meting a hobo in the stairway that has pissed himself and hasn’t showered for several days.
Not fit for human usage..
Overall Rating 1/10

speziata, intensa, orientale e una notevole imposizione delle note ambrate. una fragranza complessa e completa, . non e comparabile con nessun altra essenza, unica come solo la maison Valentino sa fare

I agree with those who view this as a smoother version of Z-14, at least once you get to the drydown. This is also lighter than I thought it would be, which is fine in this case (and may be preferable). A wood note provides an incense-like quality (along with some other notes involved, obviously). It’s not too musky and it’s just got a touch of sweetness. Overall, it’s a complex scent that is of the period (in particular, the lavender, oakmoss, and geranium). What you get here is a gentler presentation of that kind of scent, without anything lost in the process, so if that’s what you want, try to sample this one at least.

Oriental Gold, 5/5. Really a PowerHouse Masterpiece, Vendetta makes me always HAPPY.

Oooh, I was very nervous when I first wore this publicly! I was due to spend an evening over at the girlfriends, and had applied a few squirts here and there. Half an hour later, just before I set off, I was aware this was radiating in warm waves, yet worried that it might be greeted with a “Phew…which 70’s Burt Reynolds film were YOU a body double in!!!”
As it happened, she took one whiff, and proclaimed “Hmm… is that the one with the dark brown bottle? I really like that one.” By the way, she was talking about my YSL M7.
But she had a point. The dominating aroma to me ( and to her seemingly ) was a warm incense accord, akin to the agarwood of M7, that pervades the mid to late life of Vendetta. Yes it opens with a bitter, almost sour spiced orange blast, but this fades down to the leathery incense that is the beauty of this offering.
Vendetta is deeply rooted in the older school of mens cologne-ialism, but in itself distills all that was good about powerful man-fragrances back in the day, and offers a wonderful, rich, warm potion all served up in a great oil lamp syle flask. Ace.

I got a miniature a year ago, at first application I was totally disappointed and somewhat sickened. I’m not kidding, maybe it’s a bad batch/bottle but it smelled to me like the acrid smokey smell of recently heated solder. Solder, the soft metal that easily melds components in electrical equipment.
I’m actually afraid to try it again and risk getting that headache inducing smell into my nose.
Sorry, I would not recommend this.

This is really lovely stuff. I have an old bottle don´t know if reformulated afterwards. Most similar I know of would be vintage Dunhill.
9/10
Slightly similar also to vintage Gucci pour homme.

This was my 1st and worst experience with Valentino, 1992 at the beginning you can smell the Geranium and the Amber but as its developed it become too Tonka & Vetiver, the fragrance is too bold too heavy ended up by giving me a headache, not for average age or young men, only for winter maybe for those who like the strong Vetiver / Amber scents, ( My personal opinion, This is a failure, and I don’t recommend it for any one)

Compare the notes to Halston Z-14.
This one is sweeter from the Aldehydes.
I prefer this to the Halston.
Best as an aftershave, got compliments though.
