men

Valentino Men (1978) is a rare floral green composition that defies its gendered label—marketed for women yet built on a classic masculine structure of green notes, oakmoss, and civet. The opening bursts with green notes, peach, basil, and lemon: a sharp, herbal citrus that quickly softens into a lush heart of hyacinth, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, rose, cyclamen, and carnation. This is not a shy floral; it is dense, waxy, and slightly spicy, with the carnation adding a clove-like bite. The base anchors everything in oakmoss, musk, civet, and cedar, giving a mossy, animalic depth that feels vintage in the best way.

Collectors of 1970s green chypres will find much to admire here—it sits alongside contemporaries like Givenchy III or Chanel No. 19 but with a warmer, more animalic finish. The civet is pronounced, so those sensitive to animalic notes should sample first. It suits wearers who appreciate complex, old-school florals with a bitter green edge. Best for spring and early autumn, and for evening wear when you want a scent that feels like a relic from a more daring era of perfumery.

Valentino Men（1978）係一款罕見嘅花香綠調香水，雖然標示為女香，但結構帶有經典男性香嘅影子。前調係綠葉、桃、羅勒同檸檬，清新帶草本辛辣；中調綻放風信子、鈴蘭、茉莉、玫瑰、仙客來同康乃馨，濃郁蠟質，帶少少丁香感。基調以橡苔、麝香、靈貓香同雪松收結，苔蘚同動物感深邃，充滿復古韻味。適合鍾情七十年代綠色西普調嘅收藏家，尤其喜歡複雜、帶苦綠邊緣嘅舊派花香。靈貓香明顯，敏感者宜先試香。春季、初秋或夜晚場合最啱。
