Our take
What does Valentino Uomo smell like?
Launched by Valentino in 2014, Valentino Uomo offers a gourmand, elegant reading of the masculine, inspired by refined Italy and couture. The opening pairs bergamot and myrtle for a discreet, faintly resinous aromatic freshness. The heart is its signature: toasted hazelnut, supple leather and cedar, a gourmand yet woody harmony that suggests praline and fine leather goods. The base of chocolate and roasted coffee extends that softness with a subtle bitterness, never sliding into sugar. The result is warm, hushed and sophisticated, far from brash gourmands, with the elegance of an Italian tailored suit.
When to wear it
Autumn and winter, at the office or in the evening; it suits men who like discreet, refined gourmands.
It belongs to the Oriental / Amber, Fougère family. Valentino Uomo is one of 3 creations by Valentino in our encyclopedia.
