Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu Valentino 2017

Preface:
Noir Absolu combines extroversion with mysterious depth and has convinced me after initial scepticism totally.

Description of fragrance:
The fragrance starts with an incredibly intense and heavy/creamy sweetness which is not easy to classify, as it is not just synthetic as it is often the case nowadays.

A look at the listed scents and a longer analysis of the perfume, let me guess this scent of a mixture of the listed cinnamon and the incense oil, because incense is also rather sweet/woody than really smoky.
So I have a slightly different opinion and find that incense is very present and gives the perfume a lot of depth and sensuality.

Even at the beginning you still have a little bit of the "clock original" Uomo DNA in it, but the longer you wear it, the less you compare the scents with each other.

After a while the sweetness decreases slightly and the sandalwood becomes more present, the two notes combine very well and flow into each other. So although this fragrance is intense and present, it is very rounded, which enhances the creaminess and makes it very balanced.

I notice less of the listed pepper, because I assign this light background spice to the Zimmt.

Conclusion:
The fragrance is in my opinion extremely successful and it is special in its own way, but it will not appeal to everyone and especially not to people who have a phobia against sweetness.^^

As for age, I see this fragrance in a young adult as well as in an older man
Concerning occasions and wearability it is placed where Valentino Uomo Untense is standing, this one is a little less flexible due to its creaminess and you have to be more careful not to apply too much thickness (on the occasion and the application itself).
