The story behind the bottle.
Valentino Uomo Intense 2021, crafted by Alberto Morillas and launched in 2021, is a fragrance that juxtaposes the crispness of mandarin orange with the warmth of leather. The opening notes of mandarin orange and nutmeg create an immediate sense of brightness and freshness, while the heart of iris and sage adds depth and complexity. The base notes of vanilla, tonka bean, and patchouli ground the composition in a rich, earthy warmth that resonates long after the initial spray.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The fragrance's aromatic top notes are short-lived but impactful; focus on the base notes for longer-lasting warmth.
