Vendetta Uomo
A woody spicy scent that moves from bright ginger to the sweet heat of a cinnamon liqueur accord and down into patchouli.
Perfumer: Marie Salamagne
Vendetta Uomo is the men's half of Valentino's 2026 Vendetta pair, and its name nods to the house's earlier Vendetta, launched in 1991 under founder Valentino Garavani. Marie Salamagne composed it as a woody spicy scent built on texture and contrast.
Ginger comes first, and the launch release is specific about it: a CO₂ extract of Peruvian ginger, with Italian citrus underneath for freshness. The heart is a cinnamon liqueur accord, pushed further by a blend of spices, so the warmth reads sweet and slightly boozy.
Patchouli anchors the base. Salamagne says she chose a very pure patchouli essence to keep its raw woody side while giving it more depth, and set it against a modern woods accord meant to feel close to the skin. The progression runs from bright and sharp, to sweet and hot, to dense and earthy.
