The rectangular glass bottle, a testament to timeless elegance, stands as a canvas for discovery. Its transparency reveals nothing to hide, yet everything to be explored. Atop this architectural masterpiece sits a studded cap, crafted in glass, echoing Maison Valentino's signature emblem: the stud.

A recognizable insignia that has defined the Maison's identity through the ages.

The flacon is completed with a golden champagne spray button, adding a touch of luxurious refinement. The engraved VLogo, a symbol of heritage and excellence, graces the bottle's surface. Echoing the fabric of Haute Couture boxes, each fragrance finds its name inscribed on a canvas fabric label, a subtle nod to the world of luxury and craftsmanship.
