Valentino Valentino Uomo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Olivier Polge. Valentino Uomo opens with Myrtle and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Coffee, and Hazelnut, and dries down to a base of Leather and Cedar. Valentino's Valentino Uomo carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, sophisticated gourmand that's an undeniable crowd-pleaser and signature scent for many. The only catch? Finding an original pre-reformulation bottle is the real challenge, as the current versions don't quite hit the same delicious hazelnut and coffee notes.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Valentino Uomo opens with a surprising fresh and herby lift from myrtle and bergamot, quickly transitioning to a warm, inviting heart. Rich dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and creamy hazelnut create a sophisticated, edible aroma, evoking a luxurious Italian dessert. The dry-down settles into a smooth, elegant leather tempered by warm cedar, adding depth and a refined masculine edge to its delectable core.
