Anatomy of Dreams by Valentino. A Haute Couture perfume collection inspired by the hedonistic spirit of Rome, where dreams of the Maison have been crafted since 1959. A narration of seven olfactive narratives made of unexpected blends.

The Palazzo’s Grand Library, with its towering shelves of leather-bound volumes, whispers tales of forgotten lore and arcane knowledge. Yet, within this sanctuary of knowledge lies a hidden truth, a secret passage masked by an innocuous door. Behind the tapestry of scholarship and intellectualism lies a universe of untold stories, of secret desires, and of a truth far more nuanced that the surface reveals.

The air hums with the lingering essence of vetiver, its grounding, earthy aroma intertwining with the rich, almost gourmand scent of hazelnut accord, whose fruit is hidden behind an enveloping shell, just like the surprise of the hidden library door. On a nearby table, a magnifying glass lies forgotten, a subtle reminder that reality is often a matter of perspective waiting to be examined, questioned, and ultimately redefined. A fragrance crafted by Delphine Lebeau and Anne Flipo.

The hedonistic spirit of Roma in glass and light.

The rectangular glass bottle stands the true test of time. A transparency evincing that there is nothing to hide yet everything to discover. The studded cap made of glass echoes Maison Valentino’s signature emblem, the stud, a square and cruciform shape that pays homage to Rome and to the bugnato found on the Roman Palazzos. A recognizable insignia that has expressed the Maison’s identity over time.

The flacon is completed by a golden champagne spray button and the engraved VLogo. Echoing the fabric of Haute Couture boxes, each fragrance finds its name on the canvas fabric. A dimensional stud reflects each juice’s color at the base of the bottle.
