Valentino Uomo Intense Eau De Parfum 100ml Spray For Him

Product Information

By about half an hour later, both colonies start to drift slightly apart, following slightly different paths. Valentino felt more linear, still iris-strong, whereas DHI’s iris begins to settle a bit and you’re left with an extremely pleasant “chocolatey” aroma (maybe the cocoa powder some reviewers mention?). Valentino Uomo Intense EDP opens with a strong projection of sweet, leather, and spicy accords. The opening is bold, masculine, mature, elegant, projecting, and very pleasant. The clary sage comes up for a moment, just to pave the way for the leather. The clary sage contributes with a sweet, herbaceous, spicy, and leathery touch, the mandarin orange, is almost unnoticeable. Soon after the initial application the leather and iris fully develop, the iris creates a mild and projecting powdery accord. The leather is the most prominent note, aromatic, bold, dark, but not animalic or offensive, but with that combustible or gasoline vibe found in fragrances that feature strong leathery accords, yet, it comes across as refined and elegant. The tonka bean and vanilla are the sweetening notes, noticeable but not as strong as the leather, they contribute with their sweetness and a bit of a gourmand delectable touch. The opening to dry down transition is relatively linear, the fragrance opens with a strong projection, bold and intense, but as it transitions, it softens to a moderate projection. The iris makes the fragrance mild powdery. The leather accord is consistently the featured note. Once Valentino Uomo Intense EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, leather, sweet tonka, vanilla, and powdery iris fragrance with spicy accords. The fragrance feels bold, casual, classy, commanding, delectable, dry, elegant, exotic, formal, heavy, high-quality, imposing, leathery, masculine, mature, mysterious, nocturnal, powdery, refined, sophisticated, sweet, warm, and very pleasant. where have I been? I mean, I was late to the Dior Homme party but this party here. absolute banger! same goes for the Valentino uomo 😚👌🏾 Both the opening, the middle and the base blend very well. Orange juice and tonka sweeten the composition while the iris is wrapped in a silk leather making it very attractive and chic. In light of these, I can only recommend it with confidence.

It’s warm and spicy even though it still has that powdery iris feel, with a sweetness to it yet still very aromatic. Smelling it for the first & second time i wasn't impressed. Moved on to other frags to test in the store.For the first 20 mins this is ever so slightly more masculine than the newest one (in that it’s a little more aromatic and slightly less sweet). And this is maybe slightly stronger (or maybe more sprayed out than from my sample of the newest one). But essentially they smell the same. And the dry down is identical. This is amazing, totally unisex. A must try as it’s unlike anything else I’ve sampled. Definitely less masculine than Dior Homme Intense which I wouldn’t wear myself as it has more of a masculine drydown on my skin. I also had trouble finding the leather note on the Valentino, but this must be due to my skin chemistry, because it was more apparent on a friend of mine who also wore it the other day). This stuff is sexy, creamy, rich, seductive and sensual. The version I have projects quite well and the longevity is superb. I am not sure if the newer formulation has good performance. This lasted 8 hours on my clothing and about 6 hours on skin. This has the perfect sillage, it isn't enormous but its just enough that you dont offend anyone, but you 100% will get noticed when entering the room. Actually I find it funny when I have this special ability to "stun" my friends, from time to time I just see them blankly staring and just trying to smell and process it in their mind. I have heard the "you are wearing Valentino right?" with the smiles on their faces. They know that this is my signature scent and they love it!

From my interpretation, a man wearing this is a bold, sophisticated gentleman that is daring and attractive. Test out iris based fragrances before committing to this, I strongly advise that first.

The face of the perfume is French actor Louis Garrel. The refined design of the original bottle remained the same, coated in a darker shades of gray. Available as a 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. When i learned how special the note of real Iris is in perfumery, i became fascinated to finally smell it. I have smelled Dior Homme Intense and even the Parfum version, which IMO is way too dark and almost scary too wear. Something about the Valentino makes it much easier to wear, fun and more 'alive'. Initial projection is strong at around 6 feet. Sillage is very strong, leaving a heavy scent trail. After a few hours the projection was still more than arms length and the scent trail was still easily noticeable. After around 8 hours the projection was still about arms length and there was still an easily noticeable scent trail. At the 12 hour mark, the projection was within 12 inches, but there was still a slightly noticeable scent trail. Beast mode performance.

Really good fall/winter fragrance right here and for sure I do understand that similarity to the Dior Homme line but I wouldn't say they're exactly the same but rather it seems that it's inspired by the Dior Homme line. These are a little bit more accessible with the sweeter notes, this has a note that's reminiscent of a mocha or some other type of sweet coffee. It's warm, it's rich, it has that iris but there's something fresh about it too off the top. While I do think that it's a fantastic fragrance, I don't think it's quite as a high a quality fragrance as, say, Dior Homme Original. I just think there's something a little bit extra that brings that fragrance up to a 10/10, this is a very strong 9/10! Unfortunately, as far as performance is concerned, I couldn't complete the experiment as I ended up having an unscheduled meeting at night and had to take a shower. After the shower, I could still smell both on my arms almost equally well. The Sage and Tonka do make it lean designerish, but in a good way. The Tonka makes this a dark fragrance. The Iris plays a middle support role unfortunately because i just want more & more, and for it to outside the other prominent notes. So i over-spray like a mf! lol :D It does give off a bit of a 'come hither' sexy vibe to it. And because it's such a dark fragrance, i call this my 'dark horse' frag, that really represents my personality.but here's another problem, I got Valentino uomo as well, and no batch code matching for that one as well when I searched?
