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 Intense opens with a fleeting, bright mandarin, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a powdery, almost lipstick-like iris, softened by creamy vanilla and almondy tonka bean. As it dries, a smooth, soft leather emerges, grounding the sweetness and adding a refined masculinity. The overall journey is a harmonious blend of floral elegance and warm, gourmand richness with a subtle earthy touch.
