Valencia Uomo Intense

I've never had or even smelled Valentino Uomo Intense so I can't compare Valencia Uomo Intense to the Valentino. However this is a very nice iris scent in its own right. I can compare it to Kayaan Classic because I have that one. This one is much brighter and more citrus heavy than Kayaan. It has similar projection to Kayaan, but Kayaan lasts longer. Valencia is a little sweeter too. Overall this is one hell of a value fragrance that smells great, it has OKAY performance, and it's more versatile than you might think(all four seasons wearable). I should note I get better longevity than most because I'm a fat ass(better insulated), but I have worse projection than most. So I get 6hrs before it's just a skin scent. Milestone keeps impressing me.

The original is one of my favorites, so I had my doubts, but for $16 at TJ Maxx why not. This clone is great. Supposedly cloning an older version of VUI, who knows? This gets you surprisingly close, to the point where I can conserve my bottle of the OG, and I'm always on the lookout for this to pop up at a rack store again, bc I would buy a back up bottle. Definitely not a 1:1, definitely not as rich-smelling as the OG, but definitely in the same ballpark, in the starting lineup, and ready to take the OG's place at the top of the order, when Valentino needs a night off. What? Who cares, it's the best under $20 fragrance I own.

I have every designer iris. DHI, DH, DHP, Valentino uomo intense ect ect as well as multiple niche iris fragrances. Let's start with - this is nothing like VUI. This is very bright sweet iris. It doesn't last many hours like VUI, but it's much more projecting on initial spray. It gets compliments almost every time I wear it (I've yet to get a compliment on VUI). I picked this up on the clearance bin at Marshalls for $12! Are you kidding me. As far as stuff to wear to smell good to others - its a 10/10. It also layers well. Obviously it's an absolute steal at anything around $20-25.

For the price, this one is hard to beat. I have VUI and VU... This is kind of in between those two. It does lean more towards VUI, but it's toned down on the intensity. If you're on a tight budget, and VUI is out of range for now... if you see this, grab it. It'll get you in the ballpark.

This seems like a very good substitute for the Valentino Uomo iris fragances. Better than an option like Zara Clasic 9.0, but lacking the depth of the Valentino scents.

This does smell very similar to UOMO Valentino intense but just doesn't have that extra punch. I've had this for about a year and got it for about 15 pounds and was actually happy with it as the scent was very nice and pleasant. After i bought this i tried it out days straight but only lasted about 2-4 hours before coming an vanished skin scent. Projection - 2-4 hours Sillage - Moderate Overall - It is a very good smelling fragrance but has no power to last. 5/10 (just because it doesnt last)

Nose Note #352 In the opening it's so close to Dior Homme Intense!!! I haven't tried Valentino, so I can't compare, but DHI vibes are there big time. I give it a 4/5 only because I personally don't enjoy the DHI DNA at all, but if you are into it - this is the go to. No DHI clones I've tried have the same earthiness. Neither does this. But the clean lipstick scent is here. Sweet and all. Great. Average performance - maybe that's an advantage

Not a great clone of Uomo Intense, a pretty decent clone of Iris Malikhân after smelling both side by side (completely unexpected). The newest batches have greatly toned down the awful cumin note Scentless Apprentice mentions below.

The scent is amazing. I have DHI and Kayaan Classic, and all three are very similar in the air, but VUI only lasts for 2 hours while Kayaan Classic lasts for 8 hours.

SImply an iris BOMB, if u like iris u will like this, somehow lasts for many hours even tho its like $15, i do recommend this if u enjoy iris

I've never smelled the Valentino, so I can't make a comparison, but this smells great on its own merits. The iris dominates, and everything takes a back seat to it. It's tart, lipstick-y iris on top of orange and amber. I smell no leather in this. Think Dior Homme Intense with orange and no woodiness or earthiness. Projection is moderate but longevity is great, at about 10 hours. Totally worth the purchase.
