“Super close to Valentino V probably 80% there Kind of flat by itself I'm finding out that by combining it with any Woody spicy oriental gives the depth of Valentino V I am having fun experimenting with itNice addition to my colognes”
“The smell is great, exactly like YSL La nuit de l'homme and Paco one million mixed. Still has its own dna factor fortunately, however the longevity and projection is awful. I've tested it every day for a week and with four sprays after one hour it's a skin scent, by three you can't smell it at all. Very disappointed as this is a EDP, which typically lasts longer then a EDT. Cannot return because it's a liquid, will not be buying again.”
“I was looking for something to replace the discontinued Valentino V, which was my signature perfume. The opening and mid are very similar, the dry down a little different but still smelling amazing.All in all very happy with this purchase.”
“was looking for a substitute for Valentino V, as it became discontinued. this is much cheaper and similar enough that it was wroth to buy it.In my opinion its not exact maybe smells a little more synthetic then natural to me, but after not having Valentino V in my collection for a long time it was nice to have, worth the money, satisfied purchase.”
“Very good scent. For the price, it is a pretty good performer. I think reviews indicating this is a powerhouse that will last all day are greatly exaggerated. Everyone is different of course but in my case, it gravitates toward a skin scent in under 2 hours, sometimes less. If you are looking for a scent that is big on projection, this is probably not one for you. This scent is great but this is one for a date night or spending the evening with your significant other. I would recommend this for anyone looking for something classy whom also wants to impress in close quarters.”
