I picked up this fragrance not because I love it (though it’s great), but for its performance. In my city, temperatures are very high, and compositions like this are almost impossible to wear, so I only use it two months a year when it cools down a bit. Valentino Uomo Intense has acceptable performance: lasts over 8 hours, the trail is moderate but constant, indicating high projection since it takes time to fade to skin scent. It’s elegant, has character, and will feel amazing below 21°C. I’ve decided to get rid of fragrances that smell good but lack projection and longevity. That’s why I bought this: its performance is excellent. Scent 9, Longevity 8, Projection 9, Trail 7.
I prefer the Intense version over the original. On my skin, the classic Uomo reminded me of a hazelnut Rochas Man, which I liked but didn’t love. The Intense is clearly gourmand, but instead of hazelnut, the first hours feature an iris I associate with Dior Homme. I don’t detect leather, but the vanilla dry-down is delicious, like a soft caress at just the right spot. It still reminds me of Rochas Man, but in a ‘deluxe’ version. It’s not the most original, but the quality is more than enough. I’m not a huge gourmand fan, but I picked up 100ml for autumn and winter nights. It’s sweet but not over the top. Performance: lasts over 10 hours and projects acceptably. I think it’s strictly unisex; my partner is going to steal it when he discovers it. The bottle is a design masterpiece, very good work by Valentino.
Exquisite fragrance. I tried it yesterday at an old friend’s house and only thought of Dior Homme Intense, since the iris is essential in this Uomo. Very rich, but in the heat it becomes cloying and heavy. It’s seductive and elegant to the nth degree; in cold climates, it must be a bomb. I hope to pick it up soon. Scent 10/10, Projection 8/10, Longevity 8/10, Price 7.5/10.
I definitely bought it and I don’t regret it in the slightest!!!!
IT’S A MONSTER OF A PERFUME!! I own the classic Uomo from the 2015 batches and feel lucky to have both pieces. Both generate endless compliments: the classic on the feminine side and the Intense equally. Both compete shoulder-to-shoulder with niche perfumes that stick. Scent: 10, Projection: 8.5, Longevity: 9, Compliments: 9.999.
I bought it blindly because 100% of the reviews were positive. Upon smelling it on my wrist, I almost threw up: it smelled like bedbugs, YES, bedbugs. But I didn’t give up; I waited for the dry-down. My God! I LOVED IT! It’s an elixir for my nose. I love powdery perfumes, and this is the best. Sorry, but I, like the perfume, am very intense—even to the point of writing.
At first, it seems like Dior Homme Parfum, but the dry-down is very different. I’ve owned the Dior and got violently nauseous; impossible to get into a car. The Valentino dry-down is sweeter, more vanilla-forward. For me, this is better than the Dior, though it’s all personal taste.
These fragrances bore and annoy me; they’re too overdone. I prefer the DHI or Givenchy EDP, though the original Givenchy Gentleman from 1974 is a different story. Here, there’s no mandarin or neroli, just iris and tonka bean, with a coffee-like base reminiscent of Black Soul Imperium and a leather note I absolutely hate. I’m a leather fan, but this smells like musty backpacks at a flea market, cured with questionable chemicals. In the end, just vanilla. It feels like ‘Uomo’ is too big for it; I feel it’s unisex. Paying 60 or 100 euros is ridiculous; I wouldn’t pay more than 30/100ml. Au revoir.
Imagine a cocktail you’ve never tried, a trendy spot you haven’t visited, and a group of friends you feel comfortable with. When everything aligns with a tailored shirt, Valentino Uomo Intense is your perfect complement. It smells of iris and vanilla, but that’s just my colleagues’ take. It projects a composed attitude, controlled longevity, a masculine sense of humor, and intelligent seduction. Announce your best version, show maturity and command. Let your brain associate it with seduction mode to maximize the effect. Good luck, gentlemen!
After seeing what they did with the Born in Roma line, I don’t get how Valentino Uomo Intense by Puig is still BRUTAL. It starts like Dior Homme Intense, but as it dries down, the vanilla takes over and claims the fragrance without losing the iris. Out of the four commercial iris lines (Prada, Dior, Givenchy, and Valentino), I own three, and none blends the elegance of a Dior with the seduction of a Prada quite like this. Plus, this is the Puig version, not the L’Oréal one, and it lasts forever: I caught a spray at the 12-hour mark, even though the last four hours were skin scent. If you like iris, try it; it will change your mind about perfumes based on this note.
This smells like quality. I don’t know if it was reformulated or if it was just more potent, but on my skin, it has excellent longevity, lasting 6-7 hours with projection of about a meter for the first two hours, though it’s always noticeable. The Zara 9.0 is identical in scent, of course, but this Valentino smells more natural; they are spot-on twins. I recommend it wholeheartedly: you apply it, and someone will surely ask what you’re wearing.
Honestly, I like this one a bit more than Dior Homme Intense. The opening is practically identical, but as it dries down, it becomes sweeter. The iris lingers throughout the fragrance, softer, accompanied by leather and vanilla. It’s not listed, but I smell cocoa or chocolate, part of the original Valentino Uomo’s DNA. The longevity is quite good, around 8 hours, with notable projection for the first 3-4 hours.
Talking about Valentino Uomo Intense is talking about the fragrance that drove me crazy. It has a fabulous balance between elegance and effortless cool, with a clear nocturnal vibe. Its iris note is unforgettable. Everything merges into the darkness, yet it’s so well-balanced that it never feels heavy. It moves like a fish in water in both temperate and cold climates with great performance. I’m not sure if the formula changed with the switch to L’Oréal, but the Puig version stole my heart forever.
This fragrance is a masterpiece. I love it; if the Puig Valentino Uomo was already addictive to my nose, imagine this where the original chocolate/hazelnut/leather gives way to iris. It opens with freshness from heliotrope and mandarin, then settles into iris and leather as absolute stars. The iris differs from Dior’s, but that lipstick scent remains, just more masculine thanks to the leather base. Sweetness comes from tonka bean and vanilla, which blend beautifully with the powdery, toasted warmth of the iris. Gentlemen, this is elegance and gala wear, perfect for night and special occasions, a scent of prestige. It’s ideal for a date at a fine dining restaurant. Although it’s a winter scent, it also works well on cool nights; whether it’s hot doesn’t matter if you wear it at night with a dress shirt and trousers: women will compliment you. Lasts 7-8 hours on skin, until the next day on clothes. Notable projection at the start and prominent sillage; fades after the second hour but still performs well. I have the Puig version because the L’Oréal one doesn’t have the same iris. 9/10.
This scent is pure happiness, blessed glory. No gimmicks: just iris, vanilla, and leather. Simple and perfectly blended. It’s the perfect balance of elegance, seduction, and personal pleasure. I’d been warned to try Valentino Uomo Intense and was left speechless; it took me a while to listen, but once I got the bottle, it jumped straight into my top five after the first spray. No deep analysis was needed to know its place. I doubt anything or anyone can knock it out of that spot.
This is exactly how I imagined Dior Homme Parfum before smelling it, having tried Dior Homme Intense, which for me is the best iris fragrance of all time. This one lasts much longer, just like the Parfum, though the ingredients are different. Here you get vanilla, which DHP lacks, but it balances it with a leather note and a well-defined iris that gives that lip pencil scent I love so much. Highly recommended. After DHP and DHI, this is the best iris fragrance on the market.
It has a very good scent, and the notes are perfectly noticeable, especially that talc-like iris smell. This perfume pleasantly surprised me.
First off, my condolences to Ukraine. Regarding Valentino Uomo: it’s the only one with iris that reminds me of the original Dior Homme formula, a beautiful memory. While it lacks some of that classic’s elegance, it has better performance and a striking evolution. There’s not much more to say: Dior Homme 2005 is my weakness, and this brings me incredible memories of it.
Simple and direct: one of the most elegant fragrances in my collection. Perfect for formal evening events. It has great longevity and a massive sillage; with just 5 sprays, it fills the entire room.
Valentino excels at creating sensual and seductive scents. This perfume has everything to get you compliments all day long. You can wear it day or night, anytime, and it always looks incredible.
A men’s perfume that doesn’t smell like soap! It’s adorable and refined. For smelling like a man all day long. A year-round fragrance for special occasions, and leave those soapy sprays for sports or the garage.
Good morning. Here’s the scoop: I tried this perfume using a complimentary tester and liked it, but it leaves me on the fence because of that powdery touch. Sometimes I absolutely love it, other times not so much. It would be the first fragrance with this profile in my collection. Would you recommend it? Does that dusty note usually bring compliments? Thanks in advance.
Its iris is what sets it apart—very good, excellent scent. It could use better projection, but overall it’s great. It faintly reminds me of Prada L’Homme. Smells masculine, sexy, fresh, and clean.
Valentino Uomo Intense and Dior Homme (2011) fell in love with iris, a sweet note that projects elegance. Comparing them, I stick with DH as it’s more masculine, while VUI leans unisex. That’s why VUI will be my Christmas dinner scent; that trend gives it less seriousness, perfect for the occasion. I’ll keep exploring iris to find more gems. Recommended for fall, winter, and spring, day and night.
I don’t find it very masculine; it’s like if you added aromatic leather to Lancome’s La Vie Est Belle. It’s well-constructed, but it’s unisex, not particularly masculine. The price seems high; if you want something similar but more masculine and sexy, grab the 2017 Givenchy Gentleman EDT and save yourself a fortune.
Very good scent, but I expected more projection based on other reviews. Longevity is solid, 6-8 hours on skin without issues. Worth it, smells pleasant and suitable for almost any occasion. It’s elegant and honest at a reasonable price. I give it a 9/10.
Valentino Uomo Intense smells like talcum iris, with more vanilla and tonka bean than the others, making it more versatile. It’s not a beast in longevity or as challenging an iris as Dior Homme Parfum, which I find very unisex, not very versatile, and overwhelming if you over-spray. Valentino has created something fresh and youthful, without straying too far from Prada L’Homme Intense. It keeps the base of the previous Valentino Uomo with citrus, suede leather, and that measured, domesticated Dior iris touch, very seductive. Girls love it. On my skin, it lasts 7-8 hours with a trail for about half an hour. I see it as a night scent for people 30 and up, better with semi-formal attire (don’t wear it with sweatpants or shorts, buddy). Even though it’s more versatile, wearing it in extreme heat might give you a headache. It doesn’t smell like lipstick or rich grandma’s makeup like Dior Homme Parfum, which is a jewel but a beast. Does it work if you already own other iris perfumes? Yes, for three reasons: it smells interesting and elegant, it’s cheap (40-50€ for 50ml), and it’s the one I use most out of my six iris fragrances. Cheers.
To me, it doesn’t smell like violeta, but rather earthy, smoky, and dirty lavender. It’s not ugly, but I find it very sweet and suffocating. I haven’t liked it.
Honestly, I didn’t like it; it doesn’t feel very masculine, and the dry-down smells weird, I don’t know what it is. In Venezuela, it costs around $160, and I don’t think it’s worth it.
The makeup scent kills it for me; the iris-leather combo is disgusting and way too intense. The longevity is eternal and the trail is beastly, which is great if you like it, but unfortunately, I can’t handle it close by.
The first time I tried an iris perfume was with Zara 9.0, and I loved it, very different from the sweet perfumes everyone wears. But now there’s so much iris that I feel it’s overwhelming. I let it rest to see how it evolves, since a scent I like but with such strong iris makes me feel like I’m wearing lipstick on my nose.
This combo of iris, tonka bean, and vanilla doesn’t work for me at all. I see it as a ‘forced’ aroma. Totally subjective, obviously.
It’s like a more masculine Dior Homme Parfum… I like this makeup-like scent DNA, but in this case, with Valentino’s vanilla and leather base, it leans a bit more masculine. Very good perfume… My experience has been with older batches.
Waooo, what a pleasant aroma. It’s simply delicious, elegant, sexy, and sophisticated. I see it as ideal for dates, dinners, or formal gatherings in autumn and spring; that perfect balance between iris, vanilla, and leather, being a clean suede-type leather. Overall, it has a fresh touch thanks to the mandarin and chamomile. Excellent fragrance.
I managed to get a 2019 bottle, and honestly, I loved it so much. It has all the Dior vibe but feels a bit more versatile and domesticated. In Uomo Intense, the vanilla and tonka give it a more ‘modern’ air, in line with current trends, without falling into mainstream or youthful territory, maintaining maturity, sobriety, and elegance. I think it’s closer to the Dior Parfum version (as a reference) due to the orange, iris, and leather; Homme Parfum would swap those for sandalwood and the absence of vetiver, which Dior Homme Intense definitely carries. It seems exquisite, elegant beyond measure, mature and sophisticated, but above all… very sexy.
A very good iris perfume, somewhat different. It’s true that people told me it seems unisex, and for me, it is. In my opinion, it’s a better option than the reformulated Dior Homme if you’re looking for iris notes.
It seems they reformulated the latest batches, adding a cap and a lighter-colored decorative collar, introducing nutmeg and juniper. I remember the original, which was very close to Dior Homme Parfum but more ‘chocolatey’. Today, discontinued, it’s not worth buying the remaining batches because they’ll be the last version. That’s how a fragrance gets killed.
A cousin to the Dior Homme family, here we swap that chocolatey iris for very fine spices and a touch of vanilla that makes it incredibly seductive. Ideal for professional settings in cold climates.
Iris-based perfumes aren’t for everyone, and this one sounds slightly sweet to me, like cocoa. Another one for my long list of iris scents, mainly from brands like Dior, Givenchy, Valentino, and even Zara with Cap Town Century. Upon spraying, it reminded me quite a bit of Lattafa’s His Confession.
Look, I’m not taking it back: it smells like La Vie Est Belle with an added leather twist, and that’s exactly what makes it great. Refined and delicate, yet with that leather jacket vibe that adds masculinity, paired with flowers that seduce at the same time. It reminds me of that mid-2000s perfumery ideal, with precursors like Black XS or the original Dior Homme. It’s a simple composition with almond and cherry nuances at the start, very much in the benzaldehyde praline style of La Vie, before moving to mandarin and a herbal note that smells like dihydromyrcenol lavender. Then vanilla and orris butter take over, sitting on top of an exquisite suede leather, all sweetened by tonka. I detect a touch of coumarin giving a barely perceptible dry tobacco edge. Compared to other perfumes: it vaguely resembles Dior, but not the original Valentino Uomo or the Intense; the concept is similar but they take different paths: Uomo is aromatic leather with chocolate and hazelnuts, while Intense is a praline dessert with leather undertones. They don’t resemble Prada at all in how they handle the orris. As for Dior Homme EDP? Worlds apart: Gentleman is more synthetic, with half-baked leather and no almond. In short, a wolf in sheep’s clothing has many chances of success. Blessings, friends.
