The passing of legendary designer Valentino Garavani leaves a profound void for all in the fragrance community. His passion and dedication to the world of beauty is his enduring legacy, capturing elegance at its epitome from the runway to the fragrance bottle. From the initial launch of his eponymous fragrance to the recent award-winning Born in Roma collection that elegantly paid tribute to the Eternal City, Valentino’s aesthetic in the world of fragrance was universal and will be everlasting. The Fragrance Foundation USA extends its heartfelt condolences to all who knew him, worked with him and were touched by his masterful craft.
