Valentino Uomo Intense Eau De Parfum 100ml Spray For Him

Product Information

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 😚👌🏾 The longevity is ok, about 6-8 hours with good projection for the first 2. I find it quite versatile and easy to wear all year except summer. I also own DHP and Prada l'homme intense and i find them way too strong for warmer days. The bottle is just beautiful, one of the best bottles i've ever seen. I don't have as well-trained a nose as most of you guys, so forgive me if this reads as an almost layman's review.

A COLOR TOP NOTE: a Vibrant burst of Mandarin essence opens the top of the fragrance, intensified with a sweet and spicy NUTMEG facet. This is a fall/winter fragrance that's suitable for day or night time wear. This is also a perfect office fragrance and would work great on a date night as well. Valentino Uomo is conceived as a young Italian heir, whose timeless elegance comes from his legacy. The new edition of the fragrance Valentino Uomo from 2014, Valentino Uomo Intense, comes out in the spring of 2016, announced as the more intense, charismatic and masculine version.Nevertheless, VUI is a gorgeous, timeless fragrance. It speaks of understated luxury, of calculated repose. My nose doesn't receive it as feminine, but there is certainly something of the dandy here. Its flamboyant iris soul is illuminated by the tangy mandarin and grounded by the sweetly vanillic leather: a dialogue of powder and ambrosia. Better suited to cool weather, formal occasions, and evening wear. Impressive longevity (10+ hours on me) and sillage (not quite room-filling, but nearly). The bottle has a lovely heft and intriguing texture, and the atomizer distributes heavily and evenly. Opening is powdery, leathery, and citrusy. I'm immediately hit with the strong iris note, followed by the leather note. I get a noticeable dose of the mandarin orange as well. The dry down is powdery, leathery, and sweet. The iris and leather are still standout notes, but the vanilla and tonka have become main notes as well. 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. This is very elegant and best suited for fall/winter/colder weather. I have only been wearing this to work so I could test the performance and I have received a surplus of compliments from both genders. A married woman I work with says this smells like 'make-up sex or revenge sex', lol, whatever that means.

Performance is good. Sillage and projection are felt in the first two, three hours and persistence on the skin 5 ... 6 hours. However, the perfume lasts a few days on clothes, which is why I recommend spraying on fabrics. He likes autumn and winter because the cold highlights the heat generated by tonka, vanilla and iris. 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! 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. Dior Homme Intense is great with those musky Ambrette seeds and chocolate-iris combo, and if I never ever smelled Uomo Intense before I'd say its one of the best Iris scents for men ever.

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! 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. but here's another problem, I got Valentino uomo as well, and no batch code matching for that one as well when I searched? 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. I am addicted to this fragrance!!! I love iris themed smells, something about them are so attractive. When I wear it, I feel on top of the world. VUOI smells so sophisticated, without it being too dark, it adds the orange on to the opening, before transforming you into the knight in shining armour.

This scent is a masterpiece, and I put it up there with the other iris heavy-hitters (Dior Homme Parfum, Prada L'homme Intense, and Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee). It's classy, sophisticated, and always gets positive attention. Couple that with the killer performance, and you got a perfect score from me. Add this one to your collection ASAP. 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.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?). I told myself for ages that I didn't need this since I already had DHI, which is one of my all-time favorite takes on iris. However, with all the ongoing talk about DHI reformulation and discontinuation, and because I was able to find a bottle at less than full price, I bit the bullet and indulged in this one blind. I am so glad that I did. The two are similar enough that I now feel like I can get my DHI fix without worrying about exhausting my current bottle. Because it does have a designer vibe to it's scent, it does last a good long while, even more on clothing. But if you spray on clothing you are not going to get as good of a whiff of the Iris as that note tends to soak into clothing and get lost. I prefer to over-spray on skin AND clothing with this frag. A COOL HEART NOTE: a hazy seduction of aromatic Sage oil brings earthy modernity to the fragrance’s heart, shaken by the balsamic freshness of JUNIPER berries.

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.When i learned how special the note of real Iris is in perfumery, i became fascinated to finally smell it. Valentino Uomo Intense is tailored without sharp edges, sensual, typical Italian, amazes and attracts attention from all sides. A real star on a stage where thousands of iris flowers are thrown. If you haven't smelled any iris fragrance yet, then I recommend to go and smell it as soon as possible. Words can't describe the smell, therefore I am writing as if you have already smelled something like VUOI. Prada L'homme Intense, Givenchy Gentleman are a couple top frags. But because it does have that designer scent to it, i don't wear this as often as i like because im obsessed with other niche frags i have. But this sits in my top 10 fav frags discovered of all-time. This might be in my top 3 signature scents tbh!
