Valentino Uomo Intense Valentino 2016

A lot has already been written about this fragrance and its facets. Therefore from me a very personal anecdote, without the usual 'how and why does the just smell so...'.
I've been "fragrance crazy" for about four years now. Since then countless bottles and bottlings have found their way to me, but also away from me. I don't think any other fragrance has triggered such a positive reaction at first 'smelling' as Valentino Uomo Intense. First the filling from a sharing, which was then also very quickly used up. Soon after I got a broken bottle here in the souk. Unfortunately the spray head was damaged during transport, so I was afraid that I would have to smash the bottle like an old piggy bank and catch the valuable liquid somehow. But with a little handicraft work, a lot of patience, two rolls of Tesafilm and the stars in the right constellation I could make a provisional spray head and the investment was saved. Since then he has accompanied me to various weddings, where I am engaged as a musician, in winter at cosy temperatures, even on a date I once wore him. It has simply become a heart scent that sometimes falls too quickly into oblivion, but always conveys a pleasant feeling. Arriving home after a long winter walk. Snow, a mulled wine, a fireplace. It's all coming to me. It may not be the most complex or spectacular fragrance, but it is simply good!
