Released to bring an extra dose of charm and allure, this scent promises to transform you into a walking Italian romance novel. Scent Profile The fragrance opens with clary sage and mandarin orange.

With iris and tonka bean, it’s like walking into a room and immediately making eye contact with the most intriguing person there. The iris is powdery and elegant, while the tonka bean adds a sweet, creamy allure. It’s like someone took the essence of a smoldering glance and bottled it. The base notes of leather and vanilla wrap things up with a warm, seductive finish.

It’s the olfactory equivalent of a slow, smoldering smile from across the room. Longevity and Sillage Valentino Uomo Intense 2021 sticks around longer than your most persistent admirer. Expect it to last a solid 8-10 hours, so you’ll be smelling fantastic from your morning espresso to your late-night rendezvous.

I, as a beginner into fragrances did the worst thing you could ever do, I only know the smell of maybe 5 fragrances in total, 3 that I used to wear in middle school and 2 the I’ve smelt recently (SWY Intensly, ADG profondo). I saw that this was hyped a lot and considered to be the best Valentino fragrance for men, it has a high rating and I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about it however I did see a multitude of people warn others NOT to blind buy this due to the iris note, but I did exactly that, I blind bought it. AND I DO NOT REGRET IT WHATSOEVER, for any other beginners, you’ll smell the lip sticky make up bag type smell everyone speaks about, it’s definitely there but I guess I just don’t mind it. You get an immediate blast of mandarin I think it is in the opening but that goes away in legit like 2 minutes and then the iris takes over straight away. Now I don’t know what most of the notes listed smell like (apart from the vanilla) but man o man the dry down bro, this feels like such a W for me that I fell to my knees after smelling this in the dry down. Now I will say, I guess I just don’t mind the smell of lip stick or make up if that’s what iris smells like, but if that type of smell is something you don’t like then I, like everyone else, would recommend you to test this out before buying it. It was just sheer luck I guess that I ended up liking this scent profile and I can’t guarantee that it’ll be like this for everyone else. But damn ts so gooooooood

This is my ride or die scent for sure. When the colder days of the year come, my body just lights a fuse and I bathe myself in VUI. It is like an addiction, a need at this point of my life. People can say it smells more synthetic compared to Dior Homme Intense (which I completely adore and kill for) but the hell it is. This smells so natural, so comfortable and so sexy on my skin that I want to rizz myself in the mirror, haha. All my friends and people I met at any point in my life match this scent with me directly and it is such a beautiful thing to be associated to such a great fragrance. Because it is inoffensively beautiful and a statement fragrance. It is artsy, it is confident, it is sexy, it is humble and it is so well blended, it is everything that I associate my personality with. Psychologically, I blended this fragrance into my private life so much that I can't even force myself to wear this scent to work or everyday occasions. Perfect date night/special occasion and self-care fragrance. -Longevity is really good, 8-10 hours on skin, 4ever on clothes: 8 -Sillage is loud to well projecting, not filling a room, not offensive: 9 The scent profile is to me, an iris lover: 9 (not real orris root and synthetic iris like 99% of all iris fragrances). But the leatheriness, the musk, the sexiness, just otherworldly. All things considered, this is a 10/10.

Valentino Uomo Intense 2021 is quite frankly, a masterpiece of modern masculine perfumery and the olfactory experience I didn’t expect to fall in love with so completely. Opening with a rich blend of clary sage and mandarin, it quickly melts into a seductive heart of iris and tonka bean, wrapped in a decadent base of leather and vanilla. The accords, though familiar on paper, merge in a way that is unexpectedly sensual and psychologically disarming and deeply sexy and magnetic in a way that lingers both on skin and in memory. Its sillage is moderate to loud without ever being intrusive, and the longevity is really strong. What truly surprised me was how such creamy and powdery elements could radiate this level of raw masculine seduction. With Dior tragically changing formulating the legendary Dior Homme line and stripping it of its former hypnotic, erotic charm, Valentino Uomo Intense 2021 now stands as the closest heir to that legacy. Honestly, I believe every man should own this fragrance in his personal collection. it’s that powerful, that essential, and it’s absolutely perfect for an informal date where you want to leave a lasting impression. If you’ve been yearning for that intoxicating aura Dior once offered, this fragrance is not just a worthy substitute, it’s a revelation. I’d rate it 7.1 out of 10.

Like most frag heads, I got a couple Prada L'homme bottles early into the hobby since it is GOAT'd. That's where I found my love for iris. I bought a bottle of the new Born In Roma Intense a couple weeks ago and stumbled upon this old discontinued version (2021) while poking around the Valentino lineup. I found a local Nordstrom that had it in stock. I went as soon as possible to try it out. It was love at first sniff. I think my words were, "oh God that's good." I told the clerk I would take the last two bottles on the shelve and he laughed. I am going to say it... it is better than Prada L'Homme Intense.. and I have a 2018 bottle. Now, I do not own any Dior scents, so I cannot compare it to them, but the iris in this one is oh so good. So good. I am not sure if it is the leather or if I cannot even detect the leather, but I think it blends in so well with the iris. It is so warm, smooth, and a tiny bit heavy. It is not too dressed up. I wear it with a nice joggers and a hoodie. I was going to try to buy up a few more Prada Intense bottles before they are gone forever, but I think I am going to grab another two of these. Also, it is borderline beast mode. I do two or three sprays on my neck and I pick it up easily 6 hours later. Dirt cheap compared to everything else right now too.
