The opulent Vendetta Donna was introduced in 1991 in a floral – fruity composition. Its notes were selected by the perfumers from IFF. It opens with lotus, hyacinth, bergamot, aldehydes, green notes, juicy peach and plum. The heart develops floral narcotic aromas of rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, narcissus, lilac, with a touch of carnation, heliotrope, honey, orchid, orrisroot and tuberose. Base notes caress with accords of musk, sandalwood, patchouli, amber, benzoin and cedar, along with Tonka bean, vanilla and vetiver. The bottle was designed by Serge Mansau.

This perfume is SO hard to find, has it been discontinued? It is wonderful, I wore in the early 90's and was often asked by men AND women what lovely perfume I was wearing... it is not too sweet, but womanly, leaves an impression of flowers, fruit and honey mixed with cedar. A strong-spirited perfume that doesnt take no for an answer! It lasted ages on my skin. The bottle is beautiful, fan-shaped but what does this have to do with the name of the perfume? Revenge? Due to the bottle-shape I would have re-named this great perfume "Flamenco Nights" LOL. I imagine a lovely Spanish dancer dressed in black lace wearing this perfume ...
thanks and kisses to Norgirl for the sample :)
this is quite a unique fragrance. it has lots of honey - still it avoids to be toothachingly sweet and it is powdery, too. It is quite a homogenous scent otherwise - with the rest of the notes quite undistinguishable.
I find it a well-done fragrance - so hard to find such attention in today's fragrances unfortunately.
i was thninking - why such a beauty was called
revenge - but now i have an idea - maybe because it is sweet and also because it seizes your heart ? :)
sooner or later i will go for a full bottle for sure, it is masterpiece.
for the visual types - you sit on a terrace having breakfast the early sun is just on the verge of burning your skin but it is still bearable - you have a bunch of flowers in front of you at the table and a jar of honey in front of you. As you new love is soon to appear you would get your mirror out of your bag and instantly powder up your nose.
and then he appears and then all the environment melts together - you , the powder on your nose, the flowers - the jar of honey and the morning sun
Ricordo che negli anni '80-'90 lo portava mia madre, in inverno (tipico profumo "da pelliccia") e quando si era in macchina insieme dovevo aprire i finestrini sfidando il gelo...la sua scia, così penetrante, era per me insopportabile, quasi nauseabonda!
Troppo opulento per i miei gusti.
Imagine yourself in 7 or 8 years old and you're living in the mid 80´s.
So you go to school and the headmistress of the school is on your side exuding authority. Surely this woman is using "Vendetta".
I think this could also be the scent of the "Queen of Hearts".
This one is very similar to Guy Laroche´s "Clandestine" which i really like!!! But if both would be surfaces, then "Clandestine" would be a bit uneven surface with bumps on the road (there is a bit sharp note in it), then Vendetta is more like a polished surface, like a highway. Moderatly sweet, very warm and comforting it is also very alluring. This one definitly becomes one of my new loves!
And this is the BEST Valentino to my nose from all i have had or tested (and i think i smelled them all for now) by far!!!
This review is based on EDT experience both Clandestine and Vendetta, so EDP or pure parfum concentration might be different.
yo lo tengo es una bomba de relojeria, para mujeres de armas tomar
Headache in a bottle..it isnt a bad scent but it is very very strong and even though it is an ok scent,it kills your senses.To strong to wear,it should have been a bit lighter.
Nice,very elegant and classy smell.It is really for speciall ocasions and mature women...U feel very beautiful and special wearing it.By the way all the men that i asked if they like it or not they told me that they like it a LOT:)
I would like so much to have this fragrance.
I know this isn't a review at all,but if someone knows a website from which I can order it online(international),please let me know.
Thank you.
My favorite one for these special occasions. Very sultry, sexy but not too sweet. Definitely not a perfume for everyday use, kind of killer. Like a name suggest... Spare use recommended as they are very strong. For mature women, conscious of their sex appeal. Perfect fragrance for femme fatal :-)
Really hard to find, lovely fan bottle shape.
Funny joke but I don't think everyone knows about the Gucci murders though.
Vendetta, 1991, Valentino... can you say burn Gucci?
