The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Valentino Uomo 2021 by Olivier Polge is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that stands out with its intricate blend of citrus and earthy notes. The composition begins with the brightness of bergamot and lemon, creating an immediate freshness that contrasts beautifully with the deeper tones of iris and vetiver. Cardamom and black pepper add a warm, spicy undertone, rounding out the scent into something both invigorating and grounded.
Apply this fragrance liberally to ensure that the bright citrus notes are balanced by the deeper woody base. The spicy elements emerge gradually, so it’s best used during cooler weather or as an evening scent for a more complex experience.
