One of Valentino's best scents. This fragrance has a nice powdery vanilla that blends well with some subtle juniper and sage. I feel this is an elegant scent. Could be used as a daily, but maybe more suited for special occasions. Definitely worth the price.
This is my winter signature scent because it’s so easy to dress this fragrance up or dress it down. I love the iris in this scent especially.
Uomo intense is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite fragrances. The leather comes out on my skin with nice powdery notes. I get the mandarin orange when I sit there and study it, but I mostly get iris/leather the way through. Very lipsticky.
Valentino Uomo intense opens with a burst of sharp and juicy orange, with a chalky clean Iris and nutmeg. This clean opening is then joined by aromatics of juniper and sage which are very subtle to create a tangy, floral and herbaceous opening. In the dry down you’re left with a soft and airy Iris that feels slightly synthetic, combined with a sweet vanilla and subtle leather. A bitter orange, spicy nutmeg and patchouli add some depth to the scent but not much. The performance is decent but not amazing, but is a great option for a night out during the warmer months of the year. Overall this fragrance is objectively good, but doesn’t really compete with other similar scents in this field. The Iris is a bit too synthetic which at times is reminiscent of fragranced baby wipes unfortunately. It lacks depth and character in my opinion, it’s great for those that are new to Iris but isn’t impressive to me.
Probably my favorite vanilla scent, especially for the price and performance you get out of it. strong vanilla and mandarin in the opening, but it turns into a more leather - iris or powdery smell. Can't go wrong with a bottle of this. 8.6/10.
