Well you better believe it...an 'Intense' fragrance that is worthy of the moniker and some praise. I was dubious about this one, unsure of what direction it could go in but very simply it is a heightened version of the original, perfectly capturing the spirit but deepening it significantly. I feel that the original despite being compared with DH and DHI is as different, as it is similar and Intense is same story. I'd say it's more bracing than the original especially in the opening and notably sweeter. It has a not quite bubblegum but kinda fruity, sweets (candy) gourmand feel which is palpably amped up. The nutty, creamy, vanilla/iris backbone is as lovely and grounding as it was the first time out and the performance was better too. Just to note, I did absolutely drown myself in the stuff for a first wear but I got 8 hours plus and even longer as a faint skin scent. Just while I'm on the 'bubblegum' comparison I'd compare it to two recent releases (in style alone)...see if you can follow my thinking because this immediately sprang to mind. The new Popeye Le Male and the Ultra Male share that highly synthetic, sweet note which is faintly around in Popeye and on steroids in Ultra Male which is slightly vulgar at first but as it dries down to become sublime. I think this is the tale of Valentino Uomo & Uomo Intense, with the crucial difference that it's candy notes are great from the start, never overstepping it's bounds. Yeah this is nice, I'm glad they haven't ruined the good rep of the first one and if I run out of Uomo anytime soon I definitely get this one.
