Valentino Uomo Intense Eau De Parfum 100ml Spray For Him

Product Information

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Smelling it for the first & second time i wasn't impressed. Moved on to other frags to test in the store. 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. 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.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!

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. 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. 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. 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.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. but as for the scent itself though for Valentino uomo intense. oh.my.days! I'm mean... it's not DHI oh my days but. oh.my.days!

Uomo Intense is an upmarket fragrance by Valentino and the signature scent of many a man. It first débuted in 2016. Intense eaux de parfum, such as this one, may contain up to 30% essential oils. They need only be applied sparingly. Sweeping Olfactory Pyramid 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.He likes autumn and winter because the cold highlights the heat generated by tonka, vanilla and iris. 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'. 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. 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). The leathery character of this scent is intensely masculine. Originally created from actual scrap leather infused with burnt birch peel, a leather accord is now mainly birchbark essence free of animal-based products. Opening this perfume is a top of mandarin and clary sage. These gradually fade, making way for middle notes of tonka bean and iris. At last the base of leather and vanilla rises to perfect the olfactory experience. Valentino Perfumes: Price UK

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). now I'm thinking is this loreal new bottle design? and that maybe they fresh batches? most of my collection is from notino, never had a problem. so I did a little searching and allbeauty uk came up with the picture of the one I'm explaining and the bottle I have (50ml)

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! 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. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, business, casual, clubbing. In moderation, this is an office-friendly fragrance.
