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 😚👌🏾 I just got Valentino uomo intense from notino UK, and the bottle is different, it's not a built-in atomisers. mine has a cap and spikes around the collar or the bottle. 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. A COLOR TOP NOTE: a Vibrant burst of Mandarin essence opens the top of the fragrance, intensified with a sweet and spicy NUTMEG facet. 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 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. 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. 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!

Fragrance will last the whole night, as I mostly recommend this for night times. 8-10 hours longevity. This is the perfect date/night out fragrance. I promise you.

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. 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.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. 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'. Even so, the differences remain extremely subtle, and an untrained nose would have a hard time distinguishing the two (I doubt anyone smelling it on my skin at a distance would notice the difference, and in this case, I'm including trained noses as well). One of the most hyped Valentino fragrances in the community. After hearing that it's a direct competitor to some other heavy-hitter iris scents, I blind bought it. Here's how it went;

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. I'm kind of known for not enjoying vanilla in my scents guys but in here its perfect. I can't even lie.. As much as I love the entire Dior Homme line, and Dior Homme Original EDT is and always will be my favourite scent in the history of mankind, Uomo Intense does it for me more than Dior Homme Intense does. 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.

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! 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. 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!

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. When i learned how special the note of real Iris is in perfumery, i became fascinated to finally smell it. 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. It's not very versatile and that's because I don't see it worn in very elegant outfits. It is a fragrance that attracts attention, is immediately felt and goes great with romantic close encounters or evening outings in the city with friends.

In conclusion, if I had to choose, I’d go for DHI, by a very small margin, maybe 9.2 vs. 9.5 (yes, I REALLY enjoy both). OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, business, casual, clubbing. In moderation, this is an office-friendly fragrance.
