I bought it blindly thanks to the reviews and I wasn’t wrong; two sprays were enough to know it must never be missing from my collection. I just tried it in Liverpool due to the L’Oréal reformulation hype, and I must say it smells very good. Definitely something changed, but it maintains its DNA and essence at 85%. What happened? They removed the sweetness; I consider it a bit more wearable without needing fresh environments. It maintains its distinguished class. Its current competition is Dior Homme Intense, but definitely Valentino Uomo is the best option. Conclusion: buy blindly, elegantly, and it won’t leave anyone indifferent. P.S. The original formula is better than the L’Oréal one.
This fragrance plunged me straight into the world of perfumery. I remember the first time I smelled it at Sephora and felt hypnotised; 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 got two bottles of the Puig version. It opens with myrtle and sweet bergamot; the sensual touch of hazelnuts and chocolate takes centre stage quickly. As it dries, the sweetness of the chocolate combines 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 Gentleman, but its formula is different. At first, it smells strong, but as it dries, its projection is soft to moderate. It lasts about 8 hours, but all day on clothes. The bottle is majestic. They say there is an Edition Noire, same composition but more intense. I tried the L’Oréal version and although it smells similar, it lacks that magic. If you have the chance, go for the original; you won’t regret it. It’s my signature scent, thank you Olivier Polge.
I bought this perfume for my dad for Christmas. He likes sweet perfumes but with personality. When he asked for one, I immediately thought of this. It’s rich. It opens with a green, sweet bergamot, and as it dries on the skin, the coffee, hazelnut and chocolate notes take centre 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 situation.
I just tried this alongside the Dior Homme 2011 by Francois Demachy, and the aroma is almost identical. I hope the Dior Homme 2005 by Olivier Polge arrives, who is the nose behind this Valentino Uomo. I don’t understand how two fragrances that share only three ingredients (bergamot, cocoa and leather) smell so similar. Dior uses a superb iris and Valentino lacks that note, yet they smell alike.
I came for the chocolate and coffee but can’t find them anywhere. It has a cloying sweetness, but it’s not what I expected.
The 2021 L’Oréal version is totally different from the gourmand it used to be. It no longer smells of hazelnuts or chocolate, 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 nothing of that and doesn’t even make me smile. The bottle is different, with spikes on the neck and a gold cap.
I met this perfume 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 with current batches is minimal, as I still keep sprays of the old version. It smells youthful and gourmand. It’s ideal for night dates in autumn and winter.
I tried it with a decant, and the truth is, I can’t find the declared notes. The aroma was lovely, but I detect a strong anise scent, even though it’s not listed. It smells very much like Lempicka Homme. If you like sweet and striking perfumes, it’s a safe option.
I was looking for that coffee, chocolate and wood combo, and honestly, I don’t detect it. It’s a casual-elegant scent, not suitable for all climates. It has a sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm, nothing like Infinita. On my skin, the leather note appears after half an hour and dominates the dry-down the most.
Well, they say it’s a clone of the original Dior Homme, but the quality has nothing in common with the original. I applied both on my arms, and this evaporated in under two hours, whereas the Dior lasted four. It sounds like Zara 9.0, nothing fine for $65. If you can’t get the Dior, just forget it and buy the Zara which smells the same and costs less than $20. My verdict: it’s a disappointment; I’d sell it if it weren’t for the iris which I adore. Give it a try, but don’t fall in love.
Excellent fragrance if you can get the Puig version. I do not recommend the L’Oréal one at all. There are still bottles of the Puig version circulating; I would buy to stock up, as I don’t think the Dior Homme Intense or Dior Homme will deliver what this Valentino Uomo Aroma does. 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; it lasts much longer on fabric. It’s a pity because I like it so much; it’s the gourmand version of Dior Homme. For the price it costs, I feel it’s a rip-off; I compared it to a Lovaly copy called Valiant, which lasted almost as long on the skin, what a shame. There’s little difference, although the Valentino has better note integration, so for those who don’t mind the brand, this option is perfect and much more economical.
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 and gave it away as a gift. It reminds me of when I was a teenager buying cheap, super-synthetic, budget 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 overly formal nor for sport. Although not listed, there’s a powdery iris-like note. It strikes me that some people don’t smell the chocolate, but for me, it’s obvious (a hazelnut chocolate like Nutella). I don’t detect the coffee note, which I also don’t like too prominent, but the notes are beautifully blended. One could say it’s unisex with a masculine tendency. It’s a super impressive fragrance that brings compliments; I can’t wait for the cold weather to use it properly.
It’s absolutely delicious; I detect a Dior Homme vibe but warmer due to the hazelnut note. Compared side by side, the Dior smells fresher thanks to the bergamot, whereas this Valentino is warmer and sweeter, which limits its versatility and makes it ideal solely for cold weather. The longevity and projection disappointed me a little (though I have an older batch), but it’s a fantastic fragrance. For those who love iris (even if it’s not listed), it’s an excellent option.
A total delight; my father gifted it to me years ago, and when I can, I’ll buy it again without a second thought. Its sweet fragrance of leather, hazelnuts, coffee, and bergamot is exquisite; wherever you go, people will look at you. When I first had it, I was in a youthful, sporty phase, spraying it on my shirt before heading to the fields, 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 shirt, the scent persisted. It’s high-end if you enjoy sweet leather and chocolate scents.
The wood in this perfume is incredible, what a delight. I’ve got a 100ml bottle from 2017 that’s nearly empty, and I’m not sure if I’ll replace it, but I’ll enjoy every last spray.
I love this perfume. It’s fresh and warm all at once. It simply smells of citrus, leather, and wood, and that’s enough because those last two are absolutely brilliant.
The hazelnuts, leather, woods, and that exquisite chocolate scent make this Valentino Uomo a fragrance to enjoy that everyone adores. It lasts over eight hours and projects heavily for the first two, making it a top choice for cold nights and days. 100% recommended. Rating: 9/10.
Dior Homme Intense at 95%. Very rich and an excellent choice.
I stumbled upon this by chance in a shop and was absolutely blown away. I bought it blind and the effect was instant: my partner praised it without even knowing I’d given it to them. It smells like a mature, attractive, confident man – perfect for nights out or occasionally at the office. The notes are intriguing: the fresh bergamot fades quickly, giving way to warmth. The heart is unmistakably chocolate and coffee. In the base, if you sniff closely, there’s a soft, constant leather. It’s not intrusive, but if someone gets close, it lingers on them. 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 understand it; it seemed to smell like makeup, very intense and complex. I tested it several times in the store and eventually liked it. It smells like makeup and has no iris. I describe it as a dessert: hazelnuts, chocolate, and coffee with added leather, cedar, bergamot, and myrtle. It’s inspired by a young Italian strolling through Rome, and its bottle resembles old cut crystal flasks used for serving brandy, suggesting we should use it only for very special occasions. But every day is special, isn’t it? So use it without fear! Its trail is wide, and it 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. I find this scent less mature and detect no iris notes. I think where it falls short is in longevity; it disappears after 5 to 6 hours.
I really liked the scent. The soft citrus opening seems to disappear shortly after spraying, but then returns with more force alongside the rest of the gourmand notes. As it dries, it resembles A*Men but softer. It doesn’t remind me of Zara 9.0 at all. It shares only a stylistic similarity with Dior Homme. It reminds me of Givenchy Very Irresistible, though I owned it a long time ago and the comparison isn’t entirely clear. Highly recommended 100%, provided it’s the previous bottle; I’m unsure how the current version fares. Edit: I’ve 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 perfume, but it doesn’t stay there; instead, it transforms into a soft woody aroma that at times borders on unisex. The funny thing is that as it dries, it smells like expensive makeup, reminding me of Olympéa Blossom, only that if it had a men’s version, this would be exactly it. It has a pronounced trail and incredible longevity with just two or three sprays; my husband wore it for over eight hours on the trail and all day on his skin. A beautiful woody scent with those notes of coffee, cacao, and cedar that make it a real gem.
In my opinion, it’s a perfume that initially seems complicated, especially since I’m still learning the world of fragrances. The slightly sharp citrus opening gives way to a chocolatey part with coffee, and finally evolves into leather and bitter chocolate with plastic-like undertones. On my skin, it has weak projection and a very personal trail. People who have worn it say it fades to skin scent within an hour, lasting 5 to 6 hours. That has been my experience; perhaps the extreme heat of the location didn’t help with longevity. I will continue to use it in autumn and winter to see if it performs better in those seasons.
One of the most sexual and elegant scents I’ve tried. It’s like being slathered in luxury Nutella, with a subtle citrus note that plays beautifully. I have a quarter of a bottle of the original formulation and use it only for special occasions, as I now know exactly when. 10/10.
I loved it from the very first spray. The sparkling citrus opening with a base of chocolate and coffee is lovely. The downside is that it leaves a faint trail and has moderate projection; after two hours, it’s already skin-scent only. I bought it recently and have already used a quarter of the bottle, despite owning several perfumes. This shows it’s a rich, versatile gentleman, ideal for cold climates. If you get the chance, try it; you won’t regret it.
I’ve 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.
It performs beautifully and is the most seductive in my collection. At first, it smells intensely of mango, but as it dries down, it transforms into hazelnut, almond, and chocolate. Definitely sweet; if you enjoy sweet fragrances, 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 style of Dior Homme, powdery, pleasant but that’s all. Poor projection and a weak longevity.
It does not smell of chocolate. Quite highlighted bergamot and when it dries, it smells of makeup. Those who say chocolate are simply lost.
@Consortium2025 Consortium2025, this is the 2014 version. You have probably tried the 2021 one, which indeed smells different.
Batch from 2014 and manufactured by Puig. A perfect aroma for intermediate seasons and even cold weather. It pairs well with a semi-formal to formal outfit. Now for the trouble: indeed, it has nothing to do with the current one (with studs on the bottle neck) and it’s not just that the packaging is different; the contents are also vastly different. With a somewhat sharp opening (bergamot) that soon turns creamy, like a hazelnut fondant. A 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 perhaps more formal occasions. Excellent for the night. Rating 8/10.
To be frank, this perfume smells like a much more polished and higher-quality Axe Dark Temptation. I perceive, more than the citrus, a marriage of spices, as if the chocolate were ground on a metate with cinnamon and cloves, pink pepper, and so on. Gourmand notes atop a well-aromatic leather. One of the best compositions of this type I have tried and, besides, one of the few I like (most make me sick; my nose is diabetic). Highly recommended. The issue is: the current liquid is like the reformulation of Black XS from 2018; one is having the original Mona Lisa in front of you, the other is a poor-quality black-and-white photocopy.
To me, it is a unique perfume; few resemble it, I tell you. It has enormous projection and is one of those where you smell it and turn around to see who is wearing it. It is not for young men; it is for men over 30 with a smart or smart-casual outfit. It doesn’t quite reach gourmand status but does have its touch of sweetness, caramel and vanilla, but in just the right measure.
In my experience, I am testing this version with coffee and not the iris one. Olfactorily, it is quite curious; it even reminded me a bit of tamarind or roses (like Turathi Brown, which is a dupe of Tuxedo). I sense a trend in the opening that smells like a mature men’s fragrance, those signature scents dads wear to the office or a party, but as it dries down, the aroma calms and becomes a bit gourmand or warm. It is a moderately rich perfume, elegant and masculine; I will test it more to see if it convinces me to buy the large bottle.
Gradually, master Olivier Polge is becoming one of my favourite perfumers after bringing me the masterpiece ‘The One by D&G’ (if that isn’t the best fragrance for dates, I don’t want to know another) and introducing Dior Homme to the world. 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 then the dry-down varies little, almost nothing, but its aroma is a delight, very bright in how it reveals the notes: the nutty fruit, the sweetness, the powdery aspect. I couldn’t appreciate the coffee clearly, but I did detect that powdery, almost feminine aroma, like makeup, which is why I believe it is unisex, suitable for a woman. If you are a man, wear it with a dinner suit in a fresh environment. As an aroma, it is undoubtedly in my top 10.
I’m not sure what to say about this fragrance; some claim the other version was better, more gourmand and chocolatey, and so on. What I can say is that it is a serious perfume, not for everyone. If you catch a whiff of chocolate, it’s almost nothing, but the coffee note is certainly more present. The leather is barely noticeable; it’s slightly sweet yet dry, which is a relief as I don’t like smelling too cloying. I would recommend this to a serious man, well-dressed with a moderate character.
The 2021 edition smells absolutely fantastic, but be warned: this is a true masterpiece.
