Valentino Uomo Edition Noire

I really liked Valentino Uomo 2015 or Edition Noire, is a woody and warm fragrance. The initial aroma is like that of hazelnut or almond liqueur, combined with some citrus note that feels shy, but is persistent. After about 10 minutes, appreciate the notes of leather and chocolate, providing a very aromatic and pleasant atmosphere, like a warm hug and the aroma of the chocolate that our mother prepared for us on a cold afternoon. Its development does not change much, only the woody notes gain slightly in presence, but nothing else, the coffee notes are perceptible. This version of Valentino Uomo gained in depth, sillage and longevity compared to the one that came out in 2013. It is a fragrance that has greater potential to be used in the evening or at night and with cool or cold weather, I would use it for outings as a couple or romantic, or when you want to feel that warm feeling of a hug.

Starts very lemony or lime sweet with warm undertones of soft leather and chocolate and nuts. Very warm and definitely gourmand. There is a nice coffee vibe . This is so great for women as well , completely unisex. I am still unclear if this is the same perfume and just a limited edition black bottle , or if the juice is slightly different. I don't know the two well enough to know. The more I wear this the more I think it's exactly the same as the original , I have samples of the original. I tested them side by side and on paper and on fabric for drydown and next day ,,,, no difference to my nose. Love this though and I find it extremely unisex and drydown . I returned this to the store and got the original instead. I prefer the original bottle !

anyone that knows perfumes knows how good this scent is, it’s a real shame(and a blessing in the same time bc it’s not being hyped by tiktok for a bunch of kids to get it) it’s discontinued but i promise you if you get this perfume from a reseller everyone will ask u what’s ur fragrance and the best part is NO ON SMELLS LIKE YOU and you dont have to gatekeep it also bc its discontinued, for me this scent gives off sophisticated and well spoken guy it’s a really really rich and intoxicating scent it starts off kind of dark and it dries down to a chocolate coffee base with a hint of iris, in my opinion this is what dior homme wants to be but fails miserably, 10/10 one of my goats.

Valentino Uomo Edition Noire is potentially be a great gourmand sweet fragnance that has more oriental notes with rich scent of nutty and roasted coffe aroma. it is warm and definitely seductive, i can imagine someone wear suit and tie driving a classic car arround the city of paris or milan. The bottle also a very attractive and olfactive design, its unusual, elegant, unique, and sophisticated. what will you get is a tons and tons of compliment among ladies that want very very hard to be with you. very good choice for a date! Scent : 9 Sillage : 7,5 Longevity : 8

I own the Original Uomo and yes, I do find a striking resemblance to the original, so I say this to someone looking to purchase this edition who own the original, if you really love the original (like I do) you will enjoy this edition. The coffee and leather note really do differentiate this version, in comparison to the original. At first sniff, it smells very similar, but after time the drydown shows the brilliance which is Uomo Noir Edition. The projection and longevity seems to be better than the original. I love this personally, well done again.

This is a beautiful warm woody fragrance that opens a bit sharp then grows into chocolate vibes very fast. Resembles dior homme intense but less aromatic I think. I do not get much leather..It feels cosy and I really like it but I wish it stayed a little longer..Has no staying power on my skin unfortunately..Love over spraying it for pleasure. Will I be buying it again? No.

@onlymynoseknows(currently first review at the bottom of the page)... What, you mean how Boss(Nuit, Jour, Nuit Intense, Ma Vie) or CK Euphoria(forbidden, Endless, Gold)does?, but they release their flankers as continuous lines?... At least Valentino only does limited editions, once yearly,... Not like the tired and marketing led 6 month flanker favoured by others.

Recently scored two new sealed bottles of this for the cheap. Loving that extra thick chocolate note compared to the original Valentino Uomo. Valentino Uomo Intense is still my favorite of the line though. Update: Dior Homme Parfum have replaced these as my Signature Scent. Won't be buying new bottles once I finished these.

i own every dior homme version and formulation and this beats out all of them. they both open up super similar but the drydown on edition noire is SO intoxicating and so well blended. it is absolutely amazing and the longevity is insane. i dont know why they discontinued this. this is what uomo intense should be.

To the person below asking about differences. No. I own all 4 and this one is just a dark collectors bottle. Exactly the same juice. Buy the cheaper original and the intense versions. Valentino Uomo Valentino Uomo Dark Bottle Valentino Uomo Intense Valentino Uomo Acqua Cheers.

Own the original and got my nose on this yesterday. This one is a little better, to the untrained nose one probably wouldn't know, but owning the original then smelling this I feel this ones has a slight more depth to it. Not worth owning both in my opinion.

I’ve had Valentino Uomo Edition Noire for seven years now, giving it plenty of time to mature. The fragrance opens with a brief floral note for just a few seconds, and immediately afterward the dark, elegant seduction of hazelnut and leather comes through. As the name and the deep-black bottle suggest, the scent has something dark and unreachable about it, while still displaying a masculine elegance. Black suit, black pants, black shirt, black tie, black shoes, dark full beard. This elegance is built from dark leather, roasted hazelnuts and bitter dark chocolate. Dark leather, roasted hazelnuts, woods, and dark bitter chocolate turn this fragrance into a deep, elegant men’s scent. What makes it especially interesting is its elusiveness—unapproachability—because you can’t clearly identify or break it down into individual notes. I would almost describe it as a mysterious fragrance, which adds even more to its attractiveness. If Stronger With You Intense is the noble hero and protagonist, then Valentino Uomo Edition Noire is the arch-enemy and antagonist on the dark side. I find Valentino Uomo Edition Noire noticeably darker and more sinister than, for example, Lalique Encre Noire. It is a dark, mysterious, elegant men’s fragrance with masculine characteristics reminiscent of Armani, but with a twist of wickedness or evilness. It’s not for everyone—and that’s exactly what makes it even better for me personally.

Intense is definitely a slightly more richer nutty, sweet smelling cologne. It is gourmandish with leather for sure. It wears well, wears better on clothes (performance and longevity). The bottle is just like the originaly but is jet black with a matte finish. I am happy to have it in my collection. Wears good in cooler (not necessarily cold weather). I rate this a 3.75 to 4, could be a solid 4 or 4.5 if it performed a little better. Recommmended. Happy Sniffing! My nose picks up the chocolate note more in this bottle. I have them all. I just did a side by side this one is a little stronger than the original hence why the chocolate and hazelnut stands out a little more vs the intense is more about iris. Not the exactly the same.

You find no difference between this one and Dior Homme. If you have Dior already , look for sth new. Its a Leather woody spicy combination which dries down to a clean sweet scent. Its beautiful and long lasting. 4/5 Age:+25 Autumn-winter nights. Projection is moderate and longevity is great(8 hrs)

It is "Valentino Uomo Nero" not Uomo 2015 :S It is more like intense version of the original. It has much better longevity and silage than the original on my skin. It is also more woody and leathery.

It's remind me Dior Homme Intense. This one is more bolder, richer and deeper scent.Dior Homme Intense has more cacao vibe but this one is richer of leathery

One from the family of sweet scents. A typical fragrance for an evening date. Quite decent and clean. Uomo intense is a bit better

wow, black bottle, I want it immediately, I hope it's more intense with better performance and longevity:)

Although the notes are the same, the way they are arranged and perceived in the olfactory pyramid is what differentiates the two: Valentino Uomo (2014): The original version has the sweet, gourmand notes of hazelnut, chocolate, and coffee at the heart of the fragrance, while the leather and cedar notes appear more in the background, bringing a woody character. It is a sweet but balanced scent. Valentino Uomo Edition Noire (2015): In this edition, the heart notes are more focused on leather and cedar. The gourmand notes of chocolate and coffee are moved to the base notes, giving the fragrance a more intense, dark, and sensual character. The presentation in a tactile black bottle reinforces this more mysterious and nocturnal proposal.

A neighbour celebrated her birthday today, the 8th of May. She's been one hot babe that I've been crushing! So, I decided to launch my Valentino Uomo Edition Noire (which was delivered to me today). I got into her apartment and we got talking on sundry issues. I could see her locking her gaze in mine (while asking in her mind: "What's the name of your fragrance?") Now, this Valentino cologne bears striking opening with Givenchy Play as both have bergamot & coffee notes. There's this rubbery scent you'd catch in Play which is omnipresent in Uomo Edition Noire! However, Play has more citrusy vibe than Uomo Edition Noire. This Valentino cologne is hauntingly dapper and is ideal for casual/weekend evening events! IG: @mr_cornells
