Uomo Intense
Uomo Intense by Valentino is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot and cardamom, moves into iris and orange blossom and dries down to vanilla, leather and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
