I bought it blindly thanks to the reviews, and I didn’t mess up; two sprays were enough to know it should never be missing from my collection. I just tried it at Liverpool due to the hype around the L’Oréal reformulation, and I must say it smells great. Definitely something changed, but it keeps its DNA and essence at 85%. What happened? They took out the sweetness; I consider it a bit more wearable without needing fresh environments. It maintains its distinguished class. Its current competitor is Dior Homme Intense, but definitely Valentino Uomo is the best option. Conclusion: buy it blindly, it’s elegant enough to leave no one indifferent. P.S. The original formula is better than the L’Oréal one.
This fragrance threw me headfirst into the world of perfumery. I remember the first time I smelled it at Sephora and felt hypnotized; finally, a fragrance that captivated my heart. When I decided to buy it, Valentino had switched manufacturers from Puig to L’Oréal, which, in my opinion, destroyed this fragrance. That’s why I grabbed two bottles of the Puig version. It opens with myrtle and sweet bergamot; the sensual touch of hazelnuts and chocolate takes over quickly. As it dries, the sweetness of chocolate blends with roasted coffee, creating an elegant and refined gourmand. The leather balances the sweetness with a masculine touch. It follows the path of perfumes like DHI or Givenchy’s Gentleman, but its formula is distinct. At first, it smells strong, but as it dries, its projection becomes soft to moderate. It lasts about 8 hours, but all day on clothes. The bottle is majestic. They say there’s an Edition Noire, same composition but more intense. I tried the L’Oréal version, and while it smells similar, it lacks that magic. If you get the chance, go for the original; you won’t regret it. It’s my signature scent, thanks Olivier Polge.
I bought this perfume for my dad for Christmas. He likes sweet perfumes with personality. When he asked for one, I immediately thought of this. It’s rich. It opens with a sweet, green bergamot, and as it dries on the skin, the coffee, hazelnut, and chocolate notes take center stage, turning into a warm, chocolatey scent. What I liked most was the dry-down: coffee, cedar, and a soft leather. It seems incredibly versatile and elegant. The bottle is gorgeous; I like it more than the Valentino Donna one. The gift was a total success, so I recommend it if you’re in my shoes.
The 2021 L’Oréal version is totally different from the gourmand it used to be. It doesn’t smell like hazelnuts or chocolate anymore, nothing edible. I absolutely love Nutella, damn it; I stupidly bought it blindly because I tried the original and loved that hazelnut scent, but now this new one has none of that, not even a smile. The bottle is different, with spikes on the neck and a gold cap.
I just tried this alongside the Dior Homme 2011 by Francois Demachy, and the aroma is almost identical. I’m hoping the Dior Homme 2005 by Olivier Polge makes a comeback, who is the nose behind this Valentino Uomo. I don’t understand how two fragrances sharing only three ingredients (bergamot, cocoa, and leather) can smell so similar. Dior uses a great iris, and Valentino lacks that note, yet they still smell alike.
I came for the chocolate and coffee, but I can’t find them anywhere. It has a cloying sweetness, but it’s not what I expected.
I first tried this back in September 2016 thanks to my dad, who gifted it to me, and it was love at first sight. Although it doesn’t smell exactly the same anymore, the difference between batches is minimal since I still have sprays of the old version. It smells youthful and gourmand. It’s ideal for night dates in autumn and winter.
I was looking for that coffee, chocolate, and wood combo, and honestly, I don’t smell it. It’s a casual-elegant scent, not for all climates. It has a sweetness that’s not overwhelming, nothing like Infinita. On my skin, the leather note kicks in around the half-hour mark and dominates the dry-down.
I tried it with a decant, and honestly, I can’t find the listed notes. The aroma was great, but I get a strong licorice smell, even though it’s not on the list. It smells a lot like Lempicka Homme. If you like sweet and flashy perfumes, it’s a safe bet.
Well, they say it’s the clone of the original Dior Homme, but the quality has nothing to do with the original. I sprayed both on my arms, and this one evaporated in under two hours, while Dior lasted four. It sounds like a 9.0 Zara, nothing fine for $65. If you can’t get the Dior, just forget it and buy the Zara that smells the same and costs less than $20. My take: it’s a disappointment; I’d sell it if it weren’t for the iris, which I love so much. Give it a try, but don’t fall in love.
Excellent fragrance if you can get the Puig version. I absolutely do not recommend the L’Oréal one. There are still bottles of the Puig version circulating; I’d buy to stock up, as I don’t think the Dior Homme Intense or Dior Homme will give me what this Valentino Uomo Aroma provides. 9.5 for fragrance, 7.5 for projection. Price: 7.
The Valentino Uomo is very good, but it doesn’t last on the skin, only right next to it; on fabric, it lasts much longer. It’s a pity because I really like it; it’s the gourmand version of Dior Homme. For the price it costs, it feels like a rip-off; I compared it to a Lovaly copy called Valiant, and it lasted almost as long on the skin, what a shame. There’s little difference, although the Valentino has better note blending, so for those who don’t care about the brand, this option is perfect and much more affordable.
What a disappointment I had with this fragrance; supposedly it was from an early batch… to my nose, it smells very synthetic. It lasts 2 to 3 hours and projects only initially. I wouldn’t buy it again; I gave it as a gift. It reminds me of when I was a teenager and bought cheap, super synthetic, and inexpensive perfumes from the market, well, it brought back that memory, until it smells similar.
I first owned the Valentino Intense and out of curiosity tried a sample of this. It’s very rich and elegant, neither super formal nor for sports. Although not listed, there’s a powdery iris-like note. It strikes me that some people can’t smell the chocolate, but for me, it’s obvious (a hazelnut-chocolate type, like Nutella). I don’t detect the coffee note, which I don’t like very prominent, but the notes are well-blended. One could say it’s unisex with a male leaning. It’s a super impressive perfume that brings compliments; I can’t wait for the cold weather to use it properly.
This is rich; I can tell it’s like a Dior Homme but warmer due to the hazelnut note. Comparing them side by side, the Dior smells fresher thanks to the bergamot, while this Valentino is warmer and sweeter, which limits its versatility and makes it ideal only for cold weather. The longevity and projection disappointed me a bit (though I have an old batch), but it’s an absolute beast. For those who love iris (even if it’s not listed), it’s an excellent option.
The wood in this perfume is incredible, what a delight. I’m almost out of a 100ml bottle I’ve had since 2017, and I’m not sure if I’ll replace it, but I’ll enjoy every last spray.
A total delight; my dad gifted it to me years ago, and when I can, I’ll buy it without a doubt. Its sweet fragrance with leather, hazelnuts, coffee, and bergamot is delicious; wherever you go, people will stare. When I first had it, I was in a youthful, sporty phase, applying it to my jersey before heading out to the field, and players would say it smelled amazing. Its longevity is long, and at night, it’s a quality bomb that even lingers on dry clothes; on a sweaty jersey, the scent persisted. It’s high-end if you like sweet scents with leather and chocolate.
I love this perfume. It’s fresh and warm at the same time. It just smells of citrus, leather, and wood, and that’s enough because those last two are absolutely amazing.
The hazelnuts, leather, woods, and that exquisite chocolate scent make this Valentino Uomo a fragrance to enjoy that everyone loves. It lasts over 8 hours and projects heavily for the first two, making it a top choice for cold nights and days. 100% recommended. Rating: 9/10.
95% Dior Homme Intense. Very rich and a great option.
I stumbled upon this by accident in a store and was blown away. I bought it blind, and the effect was instant: my partner praised it without even knowing I’d gotten it as a gift. It smells like a mature, attractive, and confident man—perfect for nights out or occasionally at the office. The notes are intriguing: the fresh bergamot fades quickly into something warm. The heart is unmistakably chocolate and coffee. In the base, once you get close enough to sniff, you detect a soft, consistent leather. It’s not intrusive, but if someone gets near you, they’ll be hooked. Great quality for the price, definitely worth trying without hesitation.
I had mixed feelings about this perfume because the first time I smelled it, I didn’t get it—it seemed like makeup, very intense and complex. I tested it several times in-store and eventually liked it. It smells like makeup and has no iris. I describe it as a dessert: hazelnuts, chocolate, and coffee with hints of leather, cedar, bergamot, and myrtle. It’s inspired by a young Italian strolling through Rome, and the bottle resembles old cut crystal decanters used for brandy, suggesting we use it only for very special occasions. But every day is special, right? So use it without fear! It has a wide sillage and lasts about 6 to 7 hours. Use it only on cold days!
A very rich aroma; I don’t see any resemblance to Dior Homme Intense. This scent feels less mature, and I don’t detect any iris notes. I think where it falls short is longevity; it disappears after 5 to 6 hours.
I really liked the scent. The soft citrus opening seems to disappear shortly after spraying but returns with more force alongside the other gourmand notes. As it dries, it resembles A*Men but softer. It doesn’t remind me of Zara 9.0 at all; Dior Homme shares only the style. It recalls Givenchy Very Irresistible, though I haven’t worn that in a while so I’m not entirely sure. 100% recommended, provided you try the previous batch—I don’t know how the current one performs. Edit: I tested the current version, and it’s nothing like the original. It turned out to be a clone of Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir Parfum.
A very sweet scent, but it transforms into a soft woody aroma that occasionally feels unisex. The funny thing is, as it dries down, it smells like expensive makeup; it reminded me of Olympéa Blossom, except if that had a men’s version, this would be exactly it. It has pronounced sillage and incredible longevity with just 2 or 3 sprays; my husband wore it for over 8 hours on clothes and all day on skin. A beautiful woody scent with notes of coffee, cocoa, and cedar that make it a total beast.
In my opinion, this is a perfume that feels complicated at first, especially since I’m still learning the fragrance world. The sharp citrus opening gives way to a chocolatey middle with coffee, eventually evolving into leather and bitter chocolate with plastic-like undertones. On my skin, it has weak projection and very intimate sillage. People who wear it say it fades to skin-level after an hour, lasting 5 to 6 hours total. That’s my experience, though the extreme heat where I live might not help with longevity. I’ll keep using it in autumn and winter to see if it performs better in cooler seasons.
One of the most sensual and elegant scents I’ve ever tried. It’s like being slathered in luxury Nutella, with a subtle citrus note that plays beautifully. I have a quarter bottle of the original formula and save it for special occasions, as I know exactly when to wear it. 10/10.
I loved it from the first spray. The sparkling citrus opening with a chocolate and coffee base is gorgeous. The downside is it has low sillage and moderate projection; after two hours, it’s skin-only. I bought it recently and already went through a quarter of the bottle despite owning several perfumes. This proves it’s a rich, versatile guy, perfect for cold weather. If you get the chance, try it; you won’t regret it.
I picked up a 2008 batch of this perfume; is it possible it was released in 2014? Please, what do you think? Batch E1221 from Puig.
Smells delicious; it’s the most seductive in my collection. At first, it screams mango, but as it dries down, it transforms into hazelnut, almond, and chocolate. Definitely sweet—if you love gourmand scents, this is a must-have.
This fragrance was delicious; the new 2021 reformulation has nothing chocolatey about it. I stick with the previous version, which was gourmand. The new one is in the Dior Homme style, powdery, pleasant but that’s all. Poor projection and a weak longevity.
It doesn’t smell like chocolate. Quite a lot of highlighted bergamot, and when it dries down, it smells like makeup. Those who say chocolate are just lost.
@Consortium2025 Consortium2025, this is the 2014 version. Probably you’ve tried the 2021 one, which indeed smells different.
Batch from 2014 and made by Puig. A perfect aroma for intermediate seasons and even cold weather. Pairs well with semi-formal to formal outfits. Now for the mess: it really has nothing to do with the current version (with studs on the bottle neck), and it’s not just that the packaging is different; the contents are also very different. With a somewhat piercing opening (bergamot) that soon turns creamy, like a hazelnut fondant. Decent performance; it doesn’t project too much but lasts very well on skin and clothes, drawing a bubble of personal enjoyment and for whoever is next to you, who will unconsciously want to get closer. Good for work, for a date (perfect), and maybe more formal occasions. Excellent for night. Rating 8/10.
To me, it’s a unique perfume; few are like it, honestly. It has huge projection and it’s one of those where you smell it and turn around to see who’s wearing it. It’s not for young guys; it’s for men over 30 with a put-together or smart-casual outfit. It doesn’t reach gourmand status, but it does have its sweet touch, caramel and vanilla, but in just the right measure.
To be honest, this perfume smells like a much more polished and higher-quality Axe Dark Temptation. I perceive spices more than citrus, as if the chocolate were ground on a metate with cinnamon and cloves, pink pepper, and so on. Gourmand notes on top of a well-aromatic leather. One of the best compositions of this type I’ve tried and, besides, one of the few I like (most make me gag; my nose is diabetic). Highly recommended. The issue is: the current liquid is like the reformulation of Black XS from ’18; one is having the original Mona Lisa in front of you, the other is a poor-quality black-and-white photocopy.
Gradually, master Olivier Polge is becoming one of my favorite perfumers after bringing me the masterpiece ‘The One by D&G’ (if that’s not the best fragrance for dates, I don’t want to know another) and introducing the world to Dior Homme. His way of conveying the concept of sweetness in a fragrance, in my opinion, is sublime. That citrus opening, though fleeting, is very good, and the dry-down doesn’t vary much, almost nothing, but the scent is a delight, very bright in how it reveals the notes: the nutty fruit, the sweetness, the powdery touch. I couldn’t clearly appreciate the coffee, but I did get that powdery, almost feminine aroma, like makeup, which is why I think it’s unisex, for ladies. If you’re a man, wear it with a tuxedo in a cool environment. As a scent, it’s definitely in my top 10.
In my experience, I’m testing this version with coffee and not the iris one. Olfactorily, it’s quite curious; it even reminded me a bit of tamarind or roses (like Turathi Brown, which is a dupe of Tuxedo). I sense that mature men’s fragrance trend in the opening, those dad signature scents for the office or a party, but as it dries down, the aroma calms down and becomes a bit gourmand or warm. It’s a rich perfume, half and half, elegant and masculine; I’ll test more to see if I’m convinced to buy the big bottle.
The 2021 edition smells absolutely incredible, but be warned: this is a true masterpiece.
I’m not sure what to say about this fragrance; some say the other version was better, more gourmand and chocolatey, etc. What I can say is that it’s a serious perfume, not for everyone. If you catch a hint of chocolate, it’s almost nothing, but the coffee note is definitely more present. The leather is barely noticeable; it’s a bit sweet but dry, which is a relief because I don’t like smelling too cloying. I’d recommend this to a serious man, well-dressed with a moderate character.
