Valentino Uomo Valentino 2014 Eau de Toilette

This scent reminds me of Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature, the main difference being that Signature has a very characteristic bold base lacking in this. It is also similar to Pasha de Cartier Parfum if you ignore Pasha's woody base. The base here is a peaceful nut, coffee, chocolate, and leather. It is way subtler than in the other two, which is unfortunately not a good thing, because the top is too strong. The myrtle top is sour, sharp, flowery, and cloying. I wish it was chiller, the imbalance between the base and the aggressive top spoils the scent in my opinion.
