Positive42 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
7.5
/10
Valentino Uomo Intense is well-regarded by the r/fragrance community as a sophisticated, well-rounded iris and leather fragrance that performs excellently in cooler months. While it generates genuine compliments and offers good value, its similarity to Dior Homme Intense and reported discontinuation are concerns, and the powdery opening may not appeal to those seeking an overtly masculine scent.

Negative
- Has a subtle powdery/lipsticky opening that some find feminine
